A 56-minute documentary about deep-sea oceanographic research off the southern coast of Australia. On a single 10-day cruise aboard the RV Franklin, animals sampled from up to 4,000 metres below the surface were far and away new species, never encountered before. The crucial importance of biological research in offsetting the potential damage of climate change is discussed. A great adventure on the high seas with massive rewards for science and humanity.
