Instagram Takeover: Dive into 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea This Week

Instagram Takeover: Dive into 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea This Week

We've gone around the world and back again with our Instagram feed, from Fathom HQ in New York to the forbidden streets of North Korea. On the site, we've followed Céline Cousteau to Antarctica. This week we're combining the two and exploring a new frontier, doing an Instagram takeover from the depths of the ocean floor with her brother, Fabien Cousteau.

The oceanographic explorer is building on the legacy of his grandfather Jacques Cousteau with Mission 31, an ambitious 31-day experiment living and working aboard the Aquarius, the world's only underwater marine laboratory located nine nautical miles off Islamorada in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Follow @FathomWaytoGo on Instagram for the view from many fathoms below the sea.

Travel Notes
  • From Source to Sea: A Journey Back Home

    Through the mist and light snow fall I could just make out Norm and Kris waving a final goodbye as their 4 x 4 bumped away over the corrugated dirt road and back towards home.  Back to a dry, warm house, back to a soft comfortable bed.  Back to my tent, back to my therm-a-rest I would go. The car disappeared over a final rise and with beanie pulled low over my ears, hands shoved deep in my down jacket pockets I did an about face to survey my surroundings.  My friends had graciously driven

  • Trekking Through Chiang Dao: From Bamboo Stands to Mysterious Caves

    ‘I don’t know, lets just see where it goes!’ my friend shouts from a tall stand of bamboo high above the Chiang Dao valley. Famous last words if I have ever heard them. I am hot, drenched in sweat, lugging camera gear, and attempting to fend off spiders and their seemingly indestructible webs. Having ridden an hour or so north from the northern city of Chiang Mai, Thailand’s second largest city, we are visiting the Chiang Dao caves, a huge, albeit somewhat touristy stop on a loop through the

  • West to the Sea: My Epic Trail Running Journey

    I’m short. I’m hairy, I have no sense of style and I look nothing like a runner. The phrase ‘muffin-top’ accurately describes both my physique and my sense of style. But I do have one thing going for me: opportunity. I’ve had the opportunity to run the length of Argentina. I’ve had the opportunity to run from Walvis Bay to P.E. and recently, I had the opportunity to run across Canada. Over 15,000km’s of trail and ne’er a step repeated. Every runner’s fantasy. There are several reasons why I
