In Too Deep: Life in the Deep, Dark Sea (In Person)

With an average depth of two miles, the vast majority of ocean lies within a zone where light is either extremely limited or altogether absent. This zone, collectively known as the Deep Sea, is perpetually cold, dark and under immense pressures from the weight of the water above. The organisms found here have evolved special adaptations to survive this harsh environment, including bioluminescence, fearsome teeth, extendable jaws and stomachs, a watery composition, and even parasitic reproduction! Learn about this extreme environment and the special animals that call this otherworldly environment their home.
