The Deep Ocean Is the Final Frontier on Planet Earth
Recommendation
James T. Kirk, the fictitious captain of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, famously heralded space as “the final frontier.” Yet while twelve humans have walked on the moon, just three have descended to the bed of the world’s deepest ocean trench. Economist Films brings viewers on a voyage to discover the true final frontier. The footage offers perspectives from the fields of science, exploration and mining, and it paints a colorful picture of the bustling activity taking place in Earth’s most inhospitable environment. getAbstract recommends this video – which contains some strong language – to anyone interested in scientific discovery and the future of exploration.
