To commemorate World Water Day, Canadian Geographic Education has launched its second Google Earth Voyager story, highlighting the conservation work of world-renowned underwater explorer Jill Heinerth. Dive Into the Planet with Jill Heinerth examines the globe’s most pressing water issues and features stunning photographs and videos of underwater vistas, marine wildlife and polar landscapes taken by the explorer during her many expeditions.

Heinerth, The Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s first-ever Explorer-in-Residence, has completed more than 7,500 dives around the world and gone deeper into underwater caves than any other woman. She is a passionate advocate for environmental conservation and uses her skills as a photographer and filmmaker to share the fragile beauty of the underwater world.

“I swim through the veins of Mother Earth, within the lifeblood of the planet,” says Heinerth. “I hope that the stories from my adventures illuminate the geography of water and help people realize that everything we do on the surface of the Earth will be returned to us to drink.”
