It explores the Mediterranean, the Sea of Cortez, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. This book stresses the real facts and also unveils that the oceans are the single most important feature of our planet as they shape our climate, our culture, our future.
This book also raises several questions like, what lies below the frozen Arctic ice-sheets? Or in the intriguing black holes under the Caribbean Sea? What lurks within the tannin-stained waters of the Southern Ocean? In short, "Oceans: Exploring the Hidden Depths of the Underwater World" unravels the mysteries of the deep and provides light up insights into this vast undersea domain.
