Samenvatting

Take an adventure into our planet’s most exciting frontier...the ocean

Where can you find the tallest mountain, the deepest trench, the largest mammal, and the most venomous animal on the planet? In the ocean! As land-dwellers, we’re in the minority here on Earth, and we have a lot to learn about the fantastic water-world that surrounds us. Explore the ocean from surface to seafloor, meet some of its most fascinating creatures, and discover the vital role it plays in our very existence. From geology and ecology to ocean conservation and the ever-astounding varieties of sea life, strap on your scuba gear and dive right in!
