Extract

The H.M.S. Challenger and D/V Glomar Challenger; it gives those of us who have had the pleasure and good fortune to be associated with the Glomar Challenger and the Deep Sea Drilling Project the greatest of pride to be identified in the name of what was undoubtedly the most progressive of all deep-sea explorations, the voyage of the H.M.S. Challenger one hundred years ago.

As its sequel, we are deeply indebted to those who explored the deep ocean basins in the Challenger before, and whose courageous and inspired explorations were instrumental in making our Glomar Challenger possible.
