This silent 16mm color film documents R/V Alpha Helix Amazon Expedition of 1967. R/V Alpha Helix was a floating biological laboratory operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from 1966-1980. Scientists on the 1967 Amazon Expedition conducted research at the Brazilian Amazon Basin, near the Rio Negro and Rio Branco Rivers from February-December 1967. Research teams including chief scientists Theodore H. Bullock, Knut Schmidt-Nielsen, Carroll M. Williams, and Jacob B. Biale investigated behavioral and evolutionary transitions of fish and animal life. Homeward bound from the Amazon, scientists led by chief scientist Malcolm S. Gordon studied deep-sea marine life in the Galapagos Islands area. The film reel is marked "mostly Galapagos."
