Book Description:
|
Between the surface of the sea and the ocean floor lays a largely unexplored realm. Scientists estimate that humans have investigated only 1 percent of the deep sea.Only recently have submersibles (research submarines) been capable of making the journey down to oceans' extreme depths.Even with this new technology, deep-sea biologists and geologists risk their lives as they descend miles below the water's surface, plunging into the unknown depths below.
