The Deep Sea Explorer

Scroll from the sunlit surface down to the 10,924-metre depths of the Challenger Deep and meet 128 real marine species placed at the depth zones where they actually live.

How to use it

Scroll down slowly to descend through each ocean zone.
Pause to read the depth, name and facts for every creature you pass.
Keep scrolling past the Midnight and Hadal zones to reach the sea floor.

What it shows

The ocean has five vertical zones — Sunlight, Twilight, Midnight, Abyssal and Hadal — and life at each one is adapted to a specific range of light, temperature and pressure.
