Underwater Photos of our Beautiful Blue Planet

Some Underwater Facts. A blue whale grows to 30 meters long and weighing over 200 tones. It's far bigger than even the biggest dinosaur. Its tongue weighs as much as an elephant and its heart is the size of a car. Some of its blood vessels are so wide that a human could swim down them. This is the largest animal that has ever lived, and yet absolutely nothing is known about where it goes to breed. The blue whale is the perfect symbol for the oceans - a vast blue expanse that dominates the planet yet remains largely unexplored and mysterious. More people have been into space than have been to the bottom of the deep ocean. There are better maps of the planet Mars than there are of the sea bed.

More Underwater Facts. Every evening, as the sun sets, the largest migration on the planet takes place in the oceans. One thousand million tones of deep sea creatures journey up towards the surface in search of food. For only a few days each year, a squid spectacle is seen off the Californian coast as millions of squid come up from the deep to breed and lay their eggs. Almost as soon as they appear they disappear back into the deep or die. On a last or first quarter moon, up to 5,000 female Ridley's turtles hit the beach each hour to lay their eggs in the sand. Over the course of three or four nights, 400,000 turtles come to one beach, just a mile long, and lay an estimated 40 million eggs.
