Drain the Ocean

[The One]

Digital ocean mapping and CGI technology vividly illustrate the mountains, plains, canyons and creatures of the deep as never seen before, revealing a world of almost unimaginable scale right here on Earth.

The oceans cover three-quarters of our planet, hiding a whole other world beneath the waves. If we could pull an imaginary plug at the bottom of the sea and, layer by layer, expose the majesty and mystery of what lies beneath, we would be astounded.

Drain the Ocean reveals the longest mountain range (65,000 kilometers!); the deepest point on Earth; the largest stretch of flat plains; and psychedelic bioluminescent life forms that look like Hollywood aliens.

Narrated by Avery Brooks and combining the latest scientific data with state-of-the-art CGI computer hardware plus specially written software, this innovative and visually striking special drains the water from the oceans to reveal the mountains, canyons, plains and volcanoes that are more dramatic than anything visible on dry land

This was a great show. Great CG! Thanks for posting.
The world we live is indeed a marvelous place full of wonder and spectacle. The Discovery channel is the only thing i miss from not watching television anymore. Required viewing in my book.

Stunning - thanks for posting this.

This provides highly suggestive evidence that our planet earth is growing, that heat and mass are being created deep in the earth's core, slowly expanding and separating the earth's egg shell like surface.

It also provides highly suggestive evidence that life forms in a variety of circumstances, wherever some mix of light, minerals, heat, water, oxygen, and other gases or chemicals can be converted into useful energetic processes by microbes, upon which higher life forms then develop, using the microbes as food.

The text books in our science courses are out of date, me thinks.

That was fabulous! Thank you!

And, for those who have not yet seen this one.....

The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are over 332,519,000 cubic miles of water on the planet.
