Beneath the Sea
Description
Until very recently the vast area under the world's ocean surfaces was virtually unknown and unreachable by humans. However, groundbreaking technologies and cutting edge research have opened the doors to the deepest and most well-kept secrets of the sea. In Beneath the Sea, a part of the PBS Scientific American Frontier series, viewers will take stock in the big unknowns of the sea and see how modern scientists are exploring life in the undersea world as never before. Host Alan Alda joins explorer Bob Ballard for a look at the technologies that have allowed scientists to discover what lies in the farthest reaches of the ocean.
