Ever wonder How Internet Travels Across Oceans? 99% of it travels through fiber optics cables under the sea. That's your internet telephone conversation, your instant messages, your email and your website visits, all making their way beneath the world's oceans. The fact that we route internet traffic through the ocean — amidst deep-sea creatures and hydrothermal vents — runs counter to most people’s imaginings of the internet. Didn’t we develop satellites and Wi-Fi to transmit signals through the air? Haven’t we moved to the cloud? Undersea cable systems sound like a thing of the past.
