CHAPTER I BEHOLD THE OCEAN **All pieces are available on https://beholdtheocean.com/** PATAGONIA HAS THE THIRD LARGEST ICE RESERVES IN THE WORLD. THIS ECOSYSTEM IS BEING DISRUPTED: OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, GLOBAL WARMING, RETREATING GLACIERS. I PRODUCED BEHOLD THE OCEAN IN CHILE IN DECEMBER 2020, DURING THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC WHEN GOVERNMENTAL MEASUREMENTS SEVERELY AFFECTED ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH. THE PROJECT DOCUMENTS A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO THE SOUTHERNMOST OF PATAGONIA IN GLOBALLY TURBULENT TIMES AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DURING THAT PERIOD. I AM USING THE WORK TO MAP OUR RAPIDLY CHANGING NATURE TO THE BLOCKCHAIN AS AN ACT OF FUTURE-PROOF PRESERVATION. WITH THE PROCEEDS, FRIEND AND MARINE BIOLOGIST MAX VERGARA AND I PUT TOGETHER AND FUND A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO CAPE HORN IN 2022. WHEN WE RETURN, WE’LL PUBLISH THE ENVIRONMENTAL DATA ON-CHAIN. – Minted on manifold ERC721. Stored on Arweave.
