Deep Sea [The Strange and Colorful World of the Deep Sea]

The deep sea is the most biodiverse place on Earth. And yet, we know less about its depths than we do about the planets in our solar system. Journalist, producer, and director Claire Nuvien wanted to share the secrets carefully guarded within the walls of an oceanographic laboratory. She enlisted the help of internationally renowned researchers, and over three years of hard work, she collected all of the recent photographs taken from rare submersibles and robots capable of diving to depths of 6,000 meters. From this exclusive collection, currently the only one of its kind in the world, the author has selected the most arresting images. Deep-sea vampires, eared octopuses, undersea monsters, living fossils, and ephemeral bioluminescent creatures. All of these images expand the boundaries of our knowledge, leaving us speechless before the diversity of life.

This book features over 200 academically invaluable photographs from around the world. A strange and colorful deep-sea world never before seen. The deep sea is not a dark world.
