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.

"Looking Up" by Anonymous, 16 | Under the Surface 2016

You’ve felt a lot of pain,
Too many tears rolled down your face
You’ve seen your heart get broke
In your darkest hours, you felt alone
There were people who were on your side
And there were those who told you lies
When the sun shone, you felt free
When you were hurt, you felt weak
But through it all you persevered
Overcame what you most feared
Life is hard and fragile
But it’s also something beautiful
When your world is spinning around
And your dreams are crashing down
Remember to keep looking up
Because you are not the only one

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."
