It holds about half of Earth's
liquid water, covers approximately 64 million square miles (166 million square
kilometers) and extends deeper than any other body of water on the planet. The
Pacific Ocean is familiar and mysterious at the same time, with much of its
watery domain still unexplored by humans and many of its inhabitants yet to be
discovered.
But a new five-part television
series is offering a glimpse of this hidden world. From tiny, glowing squids
to enormous
whales, the creatures that call the Pacific Ocean their home take
center stage in "Big Pacific," produced by NHNZ, the natural history
unit of New Zealand media company Television New Zealand, and presented on PBS in
the United States.
Arresting moments from the
program are captured in the book "Big Pacific" (Princeton University
Press, 2017), a photographic and written companion to the five-part series.
