Meet the mysterious "monsters" of the deep sea

The "aliens" of Earth live in the deepest parts of the ocean, and marine biologist Alan Jamieson has the photographs to prove it. Explore the depths with Jamieson as he challenges what you may believe (or have been told) really lies waiting in the world's darkest, most remote waters. A fascinating, bizarre and surprisingly peaceful dive into the watery world like you've never seen before.

The deep ocean, often imagined as a realm of terrifying monsters, is actually home to small, fascinating creatures like puppy-sized Dumbo octopuses and delicate anemones. Covering 70 percent of the planet, these depths play a crucial role in recycling organic matter and storing carbon, supporting the health of Earth's ecosystems. Most deep-sea animals look far less menacing than popular media suggests. Rethinking our relationship with the deep ocean means seeing it as an essential, beautiful part of the world that needs protection.
