How Is Science Probing the Mysteries of the Deep? Ever Wondered? (Series 2 - Enhanced DVD)

They exist in the most inhospitable landscapes, where few humans have dared to go. They feed from vents of toxic gas, move through the deepest, darkest planes, and draw their own warm light from freezing cold. Such alien creatures are closer than you may think; in fact they live in our very own oceans! New Zealand’s waters alone contain over 17,000 species of underwater life, making it one of the most bio-diverse marine systems in the world. In this spellbinding documentary we are introduced to those creatures who have managed to survive in the deepest seas, thriving far away from the sun which we once thought was essential for life. They are mesmerizing, and more importantly they may hold the key to solving some of the most significant medical problems of our time.
