Description
Expedition Deep Ocean: The First Descent to the Bottom of All Five of the World's Oceans is a remarkable story of deep ocean exploration, engineering breakthroughs, and modern discovery in Earth’s least understood environment. While humans have explored every continent, climbed the tallest mountains, and traveled into space, the deep ocean—our planet’s largest and most mysterious region—has remained nearly impossible to reach. At 36,000+ feet deep, the deepest trenches lie close to Earth’s core and challenge technology, endurance, and imagination.
This book documents a historic exploration led by explorer Victor Vescovo and a unique team of engineers and scientists. Through technological innovation and bold expedition planning, they undertook an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time. The expedition pushed deep-sea technology to its limits, mapped hidden landscapes, and revealed the other-worldly life found in the ocean’s deepest trenches.
Expedition Deep Ocean explores discoveries of previously unknown life forms and the survival questions they raise, as well as newly discovered seamounts whose tectonic shifts can generate tsunamis—now able to be studied for improved understanding and prediction. An absolutely groundbreaking adventure. Paperback and 309 pages.
