CHILDREN CHATTERING AND LAUGHING |

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 |
