About this listen

Prepare to plunge into the most mysterious and unexplored depths of our own planet! In this episode, we're venturing where over 95% of Earth's oceans remain unmapped and unseen.


Join us as we explore the extreme conditions found in the abyss: immense pressure, frigid temperatures, and perpetual darkness. Discover how life has uniquely adapted to these incredible challenges, leading to bizarre creatures and chemosynthetic ecosystems that thrive without a single ray of sunlight—creatures so alien, they could redefine our understanding of life itself.


We'll also discuss the formidable technological hurdles that make deep-sea exploration so difficult and ponder the endless possibilities of undiscovered species and unique biological adaptations waiting to be found in Earth's last true frontier.
