Oceans: Our Blue Planet
Experience fantastic scenery from Blue Planet II on a gigantic screen - only at Cosmonova in Sweden
New ocean science and technology has allowed us to go further into the unknown than we ever thought possible. From the coastal shallows to deeper, more mysterious worlds, Oceans: Our Blue Planet uncovers spectacular stories of life and survival beneath the waves.
Dolphins leap for joy through the surf as we begin our journey into the blue. Our first stop is the coral reefs, where we meet fascinating characters like the ingenious tuskfish that uses a tool to open its food.
Diving deeper, we encounter unfamiliar creatures of the abyss and volcanoes of methane erupting from the ocean floor. As we journey through our oceans, we share these extraordinary discoveries and uncover a spectacular world of life beneath the waves.
