The Mediterranean seabed hides an alien dimension of life
In short: Explore the unique marine ecosystems of Corsica. This video reveals why the island's coastline serves as a vibrant oasis for rare creatures found nowhere else on Earth.
The sea-bed off Corsica represents one of Europe's most distinctive natural ecosystems. Because the ocean functions as a world with its own laws, its inhabitants appear to exist in an alien dimension compared to terrestrial life.
