Scientists from The University of Western Australia’s Oceans Institute set off on March 1 aboard Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor to explore the Perth Canyon, a deep ocean gorge the size of the USA’s Grand Canyon. The underwater canyon starts about 30 kilometres off the coast of Fremantle and extends out from the continental shelf edge of WA to depths of more than four kilometres to the abyssal sea floor.
