Ballard founded the Titanic, the expeditions mainly focused on the beauty of the ship and not the damage it had sustained from the iceberg. Of course the Titanic is

Yosiah Prof. E Science and Human Values Within the past century and a half concentrated greenhouse gas has had an enormous effect on the polar ice caps.
