Film
Volcanoes of the Deep Sea

"Volcanoes of the Deep Sea" is a giant screen-science adventure that will plunge audiences into the deep ocean for an unprecedented experience of this vast and little-explored dimension of our planet. The film, funded in part by the National Science Foundation, follows a team of scientists as they dive to research mysterious hydrothermal vents on the mid-ocean ridge. As the dive unfolds, the film and the scientists reveal for us the fantastic diversity of the deep: its strange communities of organisms, its shipwreck gardens, bioluminescent creatures and awesome giant predators. An astounding 97% of the Earth's biosphere is located here, in the dark regions of the ocean that we have truly just begun to penetrate and explore.
