We know more about the surface of the Moon than we do about the wonders hidden beneath the waves of our planet’s seas. The deepest parts of our oceans teem with life forms so bizarre they could be from the realm of science fiction. These fantastic creatures, all perfectly adapted to the extreme pressures and temperatures of their alien environment, inhabit a realm of underwater volcanoes, engulfed mountain ranges, and vast trenches cut into the crust of the planet. “Into the Deep,” combines: Marine biology, Oceanography, underwater geology, astronomy, exploration, environment, and nature. Audiences will experience the dive of Trieste to the Challenger Deep, the lowest point of the Mariana Trench in the South Pacific.
