CHILDREN CHATTERING AND LAUGHING 00:01:24.834 - 00:01:27.544
NARRATOR: A boy comes running up, and he asks: 00:01:34.177 - 00:01:38.222
"What exactly is the ocean? 00:01:39.307 - 00:01:42.392
What is the sea?" 00:01:42.560 - 00:01:44.770
You could hit him with a lot of statistics and Latin names. 00:01:47.398 - 00:01:52.194
But the answer isn't something you'll find in a book. 00:01:53.863 - 00:01:57.241
To really know what the ocean is, you have to see it for yourself. 00:01:57.659 - 00:02:03.914
You have to hear it 00:02:09.337 - 00:02:11.672
and taste it. 00:02:15.218 - 00:02:17.219
You have to feel its power. 00:02:18.763 - 00:02:22.391
To really know the ocean, 00:02:35.613 - 00:02:38.740
you have to live it. 00:02:39.993 - 00:02:42.536
The ocean is vast, 00:02:50.712 - 00:02:53.255
and most of us only ever experience a small part of it. 00:02:53.840 - 00:02:58.010
One point of view, like that of a marine iguana 00:02:58.178 - 00:03:02.181
gliding through the water off the coast of the Galapagos Islands. 00:03:02.348 - 00:03:07.019
Born of a miraculous mixture of matter and energy, 00:03:54.984 - 00:03:58.195
the ocean is an ancient place. 00:04:01.658 - 00:04:04.743
But it is more than just a place. 00:04:05.328 - 00:04:08.205
In a very real sense, the ocean is alive. 00:04:16.339 - 00:04:20.842
In fact, it was already brimming with life for billions of years 00:04:21.719 - 00:04:27.349
