The H.M.S. Challenger embarked from Portsmouth, England on December 21, 1872 and changed the course of scientific history. Physicists, chemists, and biologists collaborated with expert navigators to map the sea. This interdisciplinary spirit has continued to the present day. During the 4 year journey, the voyages circumnavigated the globe, sounded the ocean bottom to a depth of 26,850 feet, found many new species, and provided collections for scores of biologists.

The Challenger expedition, led by the HMS Challenger, was the first scientific mission dedicated to mapping the ocean floor. It took place from 1872 to 1876 and collected crucial data about the ocean's depths, temperatures, and marine life.
