Today on Far Future Horizons we present another fascinating episode from the National Geographic Channel’s documentary series “Naked Science – Dangers of the Deep”. In this instalment of “Naked Science” we will take a spectacular foray deep into the last great frontier of our planet – the seas and oceans.
Humans have explored much of the solar system, carried out studies to assess the possibility for life on Mars yet little is known about our own oceans that cover over 70% of our planet's surface. If we were to drain the seas what would we find, and what would it take to explore the abyss, a place with no light, temperatures at near zero and pressure a thousand times greater than the surface. Only two people have ever visited the bottom of the oceans less than have walked on the moon. We are on a journey to the bottom of some of the deepest oceans. Investigating the technologies and vistas that could, one day, open-up an entirely new world.
