The ocean of nature

No news on the aquarium front, as I now expect that It won't be arriving until some time in June.

Watched an interesting movie today. Directed by James Cameron, "Aliens of the Deep" is a pseudo-documentary about Cameron taking some NASA Scientists and Marine Biologists on some 40 dives into the deep ocean. The cinematography was truly remarkable. We are allowed to go beyond lights penetration, many leagues into the deep and dark ocean. Revealed through amazing technologies and lenses is a world that we know so little about. Along the way we are introduced to the various people Cameron chose to come along, and what it is that they seek to gain through the experience. What the viewer gains is an overwhelming appreciation for how little we really know about our planet.
