Summary
David Attenborough: Ocean - the last wilderness on Earth
From the frozen expanses of our poles to the hidden corners of warm seas, David Attenborough has captured many parts of the unique ocean of planet Earth with his camera. Now, with longtime collaborator Colin Batfield, he brings us the story of that last great wilderness of ours – the one that shapes the land we live on, regulates the climate and creates the air we breathe. Dive into eight beautiful marine habitats, swim through algae forests, dense mangroves and along colorful coral reefs, all the way to depths of almost 3,500 meters, to the most remote corners of the most unexplored ecosystem on our planet. Indulge in a journey with majestic blue whales; playful clown fish, sparkling bioluminescent jellyfish and mysterious vampire squid. With the warmth, insight and deep admiration that permeates all of David Attenborough's iconic series, Ocean reveals a world that is both desperately vulnerable and incredibly resilient, with an amazing capacity for self-renewal. If we treat it with care and respect, our underwater world will be even richer and more spectacular than we can even imagine. It's still not too late to do it.
