Covering one-third of Earth's surface, the Pacific Ocean contains half of the world's water, hides its deepest places, and is home to some of the most dazzling creatures known to science. Illustrated in full color throughout, this companion book to the spectacular 2017 PBS series pairs spellbinding storytelling with images of such creatures as great white sharks, wolf eels, the pufferfish, and the firefly squid. Along with an overview of how natural disasters affect the Pacific, here too are explorations of some of the region's eerier locales, like the turtle tombs of Borneo and the skull caves of Papua New Guinea.
