wow I have an all new respect for the coastguard after reading that story. Over a 1,000 miles away amazing. Good stuff Niko!

That's definitely cool, the fact that they found it though.

Yes "Debbie Downer" the camera was in a housing but still the fact that it traveled so far and then that the owners were found thanks to the photos is pretty amazing.

Hmm, seems more like an extremely well made underwater housing.

Not sure if Nikon made the housing or someone else made it, but this is an excellent PR opportunity!

lol, definitely read this as "6 Month Journey At Seal", and was expecting some graphic "from the intestines" shots....

but that's still pretty cool.

Turns out those little COOLPIX cameras are pretty sturdy :^)
