Caption

Becky Schott, an underwater photographer and diving instructor, won third place with this photograph showing Dr. Thomas Iliffe, Professor of marine biology at Texas A&M University at Galveston, collecting possibly a new species of a blind cave shrimp from inside Giant Cave, Belize. According to Schott, Dr. Iliffe's exploration process is very unique and he has perfected it in an extreme environment. His work could show how organisms survive in harsh environments on other planets.
