The Depths Of The Ocean

 The vast majority of life on Earth is in the oceans, most of which we have yet to really explore.


Some of it looks ungainly and alien.


Water is plentiful on Earth, which could easily be called Water, since more of the surface is water as opposed to earth. But it's also found elsewhere in the solar system, from Mars to the Moon to comets.


Water on our planet keeps recycling itself, from solid to liquid to gas and back again.


An ancient deposit of water is held within this crystal, visible to the eye if one turns the display.


If all the salt in the water were diverted and spread over the land surface, it would be deep.

  1. We still have a lot to learn about what is lurking in our seas, that's for sure.

    1. I'll take your word for it. I didn't get a shot of the label.

  5. I fear that the ocean floor will also be a prey to human greed.
