3. Open Ocean
  September 26, 2001
Endless blue stretches in every direction. The sea bed is a staggering eight kilometers deeper down and the nearest island is 500 kilometers away. There is nothing save the burning sun above and the blackened abyss below. How, then, does life exist?

4. Frozen Seas
  October 3, 2001
Life on the edge of a frozen sea is tough. Ice at both poles is constantly moving, and in winter freezes solid with air temperatures 70°C below freezing. Only in spring, with the retreating ice and light reaching the water, does life begin again.

I have viewed "The Deep" a number of times and I am always fascinated by the beauty and complexity of the bizarre creatures that inhabit the deepest depths of the Earth's oceans. If one wanted to imagine creatures from outer space, this video could give them great ideas. The extreme depths of the oceans are being studied so that we will know what to look for in places like Europa, a Galilean moon of Jupiter and in other places of the universe where extremes of temperature and pressure exist and are being studied. I have "The Deep" downloaded on my Kindle so that I can always enjoy the sights and the sounds of the unique creatures that inhabit the Earth's oceans.
