11,000 metres below sea level, live the creatures of the deep and The Natural History Museum plans to bring them to the surface between 28th May – 5th September 2010. Images of creatures from the abyss look hard to believe, but The Deep will show them all in their many strange and wonderful forms.
It’s a part of the world that is apparently less explored than the moon, but in this exhibition, the museum will have display some of its most bizarre specimens, along with images of the diverse luminescent underwater creatures that make the deep their home.
The latest oceanographic finds will be the focal point to the exhibition and the museum has put together an exhibition from beyond the photic zone, the point at which photosynthesis can no longer occur in the ocean.
