Oceans

For many thousands of years, people have wondered what mysteries the ocean keeps hidden beneath its surface. Although recent technology allows us to see more of the ocean floor than ever before, it is still off limits in places where it is simply too deep, and plenty of mysteries still exist. Let Discovery Channel take you on a trip through the vastness of Earth's Oceans. Book jacket.
