A Journey to the Bottom of the Ocean
In short: A calm descent from the sunlit surface to the deepest trench, following how light, temperature and pressure change with depth and where human bodies and deep-sea life reach their limits.
A 2:08 short film in the series “The Ocean”, narrated by intellect_voice_01.
