Quotes
[first lines]
David Attenborough - Narrator: Our planet's continents are fringed by shallow seas. Rarely more than 200 meters deep, they lie on the continental shelves, which may stretch sometimes for hundreds of miles before the sea floor drops into deeper, darker waters. Altogether, they constitute a mere 8% of the world's oceans, but they contain the vast majority of its marine life.

Love it!

Just love this! But I do wish the photographers got more credit. The shots are amazing most times. I may not want to see penguins be ing attacked but this is what happens. Thank you, thank you to all the wonderful photographers.
