Throw Some More Algae on the Barbie!

Aussie man intends to live under a lake in a shipping container.

Lloyd Godson admits it won’t be ideal taking a toilet break in an airtight cell at the bottom of a lake, when maintaining air quality is his main concern.

The 29-year-old marine biologist today began a two-week sojourn in the most unusual of places - a steel box at the bottom of a lake near Albury, his home town on the NSW-Victoria border.

Measuring just nine cubic metres, it is where Mr Godson will eat, sleep and surf the net for the next fortnight, while being tested for the psychological and physical pressures of being underwater.

He will be forced to fend for himself by generating his own oxygen and electricity and growing some of his own food.

According the interview on the BBC I heard with him, he’s also going to eat some of the algae.
