TED Talk

Introduction:

When we visit the ocean the first thing that comes to mind are common species of animals, like sharks, dolphins and starfish, but often times, we overlook the unexplored world beyond the shallower surface of the ocean; this is life in the depths of the ocean. 

Summery:

This TED talk has informed me about the creatures in the deepest parts of the ocean, and how we often forget that the ocean is miles deep with creatures thriving and living down below. "It's a world within a world." These creatures are mysterious, exotic and are almost unreal, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. We have only explored about three percent of what's in the ocean. The oceans take up 75% of the world, with so much water and so little of it explored I can only imagine what else is hidden in the depths of it.

Personal Response:

This article has made me realize just how little we know about the oceans, there is so much to explore yet we have only explored three percent of it. It encourages me to learn more about the ocean and the animals that live inside of it. As humans we often take for granted the amazing creatures that live on this planet, after watching this talk I have grown an appreciation for the people that have questioned what lives farther down in the ocean to find these unfamiliar animals.
