ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jill Heinerth

Jill Heinerth is a lady who loves to explore and discover the world underwater. She is very passionate about what she does and tries to understand as much as she can about the ocean and the amazing creatures that live there.

To explore underwater, Jill uses special equipment like scuba gear and submarines to help her breathe and navigate. She also studied very hard and became an expert in things like geology, biology, and conservation, which means she knows a lot about rocks, plants, and animals underwater and she will work hard to protect them.

Jill has gone on many expeditions, which means she goes on a long trip to explore and discover new things, to places like Antarctica, the Arctic, and underwater caves. She has even set a world record for being the first person to dive under the frozen surface of an arctic lake!

In addition to exploring, Jill also tells other people about her adventures through books, videos, and presentations. She wants to inspire other people to explore and connect with the underwater world too!
