Almost three quarters of our planet is covered in water. The seas influence our weather, shape our climate and provide us with food. But although we depend on them completely, the vast majority of the ocean remains unexplored.
Using ground-breaking technology, the Blue Planet II team has dived beneath the surface to shed new light on the underwater world. This book explores their most exciting discoveries, from tool-using tusk fish to dolphins that use coral to clean their skin.
Featuring over 200 breath-taking photographs and stills from the BBC series, the book brings to life a vast array of ocean habitats – from underwater forests of kelp to spectacular coral reefs.
With a foreword by series presenter David Attenborough and exclusive behind-the-scenes accounts of how the team captured stunning underwater footage over five years of filming, Blue Planet II gives a unique insight into this iconic series.
