The Sunken Island of the Great Istanbul Earthquake: A Journey into Underwater History

About 1,000 years ago, during the Istanbul Earthquake, an island sank beneath the waves. I used a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) to capture underwater images.

During this historic exploration, a majestic stingray gracefully appeared in my images, thriving deep below where it was once above the surface. Even in waters that have witnessed centuries of history, nature still exists.
However, these images show more than just ancient relics.

They also reveal traces of marine slime, one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. This is another reminder of the vital importance of protecting our ecosystems and securing the future of our oceans.
