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.

"Fighting to the Surface" by Tyrone, 15 | Under the Surface 2014

This photo gives me a feeling of hope because even though the leaf isn't above water yet, it's still alive and fighting to be above the water, trying to get where it's supposed to be.

About Tyrone: "My name is Tyrone. I'm from Madison, Wisconsin. I like to do many things some of those things are playing sports, watching movies, and just going for long car rides listening to music. In the past, I've struggled with just accepting that in life somethings can't be changed, and you just have to find the best things in bad situations. In the near future, I am hopeful that I will finish my last year in high school and move on to a two-year college studying to be an auto mechanic and live happily with a wife and family. Taking photos and being a part of underwater photography trips means a lot to me. It gives me a way to let people try and see things the way I do, through my eyes. Every picture has a thousand stories and I hope you enjoy my stories."
