Lost Frontiers Travel
Earlier this month, experts from the U.K. And Belgium set out on the research vessel RV Belgica to analyze the seabed using acoustic technology. Physical samples were also retrieved from the seabed.' We probably know less about the peoples who inhabited these vast landscapes, now lost to the sea, than we know about the far side of the moon,' Professor Vincent Gaffney, of the U.K.’s University of Bradford, who participated in the project, told Fox News, via email. 'Archaeology, assisted by technology, now has the capacity to explore these lost worlds.' The research vessel RV Belgica.

Lost Frontiers is a project to study Doggerland using environmental archaeology, sedimentary DNA, seismic mapping and computer simulation.
“We found evidence for a forest beneath the sea – probably about 10,000 years old,” he said via email. “We are sampling this and will have it dated but as it comes from ancient peat we’re very confident.”Similar forests can be seen at the edges of Britain at low tide, but this one is right in the center of the North Sea, according to Gaffney. The forest, he says, is the first of its type found in a deepwater environment. 2019 exploration areas on the Brown Banks and the Southern River.(© Lost Frontiers/VLIZ/UGenT)“We now are certain there is preserved landscape, with preserved peat, which we can explore further,” he added. “This is an environment in which people would have lived.”The expedition was led by Dr. Tine Missiaen from the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium, as part of Belgian/Dutch/U.K.
Project entitled “Deep History: Revealing the palaeo-landscape of the Southern North Sea.”Missiaen told Fox News that scientists used state-of-the-art acoustic technology to pinpoint prehistoric outcrops on and near the seafloor. 'Dredging and grab sampling in these areas resulted in important finds,' she explained, via email. 'This clearly illustrates that guided prospecting is the way forward, and we expect that this approach will allow an important increase in archaeological finds in the near future.' The research also complements the University of Bradford-led, which is funded by the European Research Council and aims to map Doggerland.The Lost Frontiers team has already identified thousands of miles of plains, hills, marshlands and river valleys on the seabed, although hard evidence of human activity has eluded researchers.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS. Dr. Robin Hanbury-Tenison sees three new frontiers of exploration: the tropical rainforest canopy, caves and coral reefs. Not having a science degree isn't an obstacle as long as you're prepared to work hard and make yourself useful.
Dr. Hanbury-Tenison has led more than 30 expeditions since the 1950s(CNN) - Forget space.The most exciting new frontiers of exploration are on our very own planet, says, one of the greats of British exploring.' I'm excited about this planet and what we don't know about it,' he says.' To discover life that has been cut off for 25 million years under the Antarctic ice cap is just mind-blowing and much more exciting than finding life on Mars,' he says.

If you want to be an explorer, go to one of these research stations, they have amazing ones in Peru, and say, 'I'll sweep the laboratory floor but can I come back when you look for the giant otters and I'll paddle the boat.' Make yourself useful.'
Some wannabe explorers yearn for the days when the world was a pristine planet and great Victorian explorers such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace went off on journeys and returned with mountains of exciting new material and stories.But Hanbury-Tenison says there's much more of the Earth left to explore and species to discover and that the mission is more important now than ever.' It doesn't matter if people have been there before, it isn't about being the first - it's about understanding and learning more about it.'
And that's more urgent now than ever. We're cutting down the rainforests and destroying them before we've discovered how exciting and interesting it all is.' Kate Whitehead is a Hong Kong-based journalist who was most recently editor of Cathay Pacific's Discovery magazine.
