National Geographic Explorer and oceanographer Robert Ballard makes a case for serious exploration and mapping. Video is 18 min. long and recorded in February 2008 in Monterey, California. Dr. Ballard has been criticized on a few points (like favoring archeology over biology, *sniff*), but overall, outside the Titanic, this is what he’s famous for… an energetic and inspiring talk with several good points and facts.
