Look Who's Coming to BLUE They will take us >>>Into The Abyss
At the heart of the Coral Triangle is the Celebes Sea. The sunlit waters found here boast the highest biodiversity of marine species of any of the ocean’s “light zones.” But scientists suspect that the shallow parts of the Celebes Sea only hint at what might be lurking in the abyss – a gorge reaching depths of over 20,000 feet – below. Now, National Geographic photographer and explorer Dr. Emory Kristof and a team of scientists attempt the first-ever descent into this mysterious basin. But is this really a place that spawns bizarre new life, or will the forbidding expanse prove barren and empty? Watch as we travel with Kristof and the team, in the hopes of learning the truth about this “Crucible of Life.”
