Under the Surface

Each summer, young explorers from Northwest Passage set out for adventures that few have experienced. They bravely submerge themselves in rivers and lakes to learn about and document underwater ecosystems. The stunning photographs that result from these expeditions have been featured in books, films, and witnessed by over one million people at exhibits around the United States. These photographs represent the kids' exploration and discovery of the underwater world, and of themselves.

"Hidden in the Obvious" by Anonymous, 16 | Under the Surface 2016

I’m hidden in the obvious
Only those who look can see me
It may not be much
But if you look some more
You might find my deepest secrets
You might realize there’s something
Something more to this
It might make you cry
It might make you happy
Whatever emotion it may be
I hope someday you’ll see me

About Jade: "My name is Jade. I came to Northwest Passage because I was having issues at home and at school. The State thought being here would be helpful for me and my family. InaNewLight has been an amazing experience. I have never felt as close to nature as when I’m taking pictures of it. Before I came to Northwest Passage I felt like my written words weren’t appreciated. But here, when I write my photo reflections I feel good about myself because the people here do appreciate them and they give me so much support."
