Taken on U.W.'s student cruise aboard R/V Thomas Thompson. This is Dan Fornari's mapping compass on top of a map of the 'Rumble II' volcano, in the Kermadec arc North of New Zealand. Dan was on the cruise to map the Kermadecs with his TowCam. During the cruise he showed students how to plan TowCam deployments and the students would plot out TowCam lines on large-scale maps.

A one-armed protractor, used for laying out ship tracks, rests on top of a map of the 'Rumble III' volcano, located in the Kermadec arc, north northeast of New Zealand. In March 2009, the University of Washington's student cruise aboard R/V Thomas Thompson explored the Kermadec volcanic arc. Marine geologist Dan Fornari was on the cruise to work with the students to map the Kermadecs with TowCam. Fornari showed students how to plan TowCam deployments and plot TowCam survey lines on large-scale maps during the tows, so that the photographic observations could be used to map the seafloor terrains.
