Travel to the bottom of the ocean to explore the hidden deep sea environment with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales.
Travel to the bottom of the ocean to explore the hidden deep sea environment with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales.
The deep sea is the biggest, most mysterious part of our planet. For a long time, scientists thought it was just a huge empty space, devoid of life: too dark, too cold, too much pressure and not enough food. Now we know differently: the deep sea is full of amazing life all the way to the very bottom. In order to survive down there, animals get up to all sorts of strange things and look completely different to anything else on Earth.
Written by award-winning marine biologist and author Dr Helen Scales, The Deep, Dark Ocean comprehensively visualizes the deep ocean environment and brings its beautiful and unbelievable quirks to life. Readers will find themselves immersed in the velvety dark landscapes of deep sea plains, trenches and mountain ranges, and discover ghostly octopuses, sea pigs, dancing crabs, coral and sponge forests, Elvis worms and Ninja lanternsharks among other remarkable creatures.
