Ocean Adventures

Whales have long been a profound mystery to us. They live in a world so removed from our own that we can barely imagine their lives. Their environment is different, their senses are different, their relationships are different. How might such almost alien creatures see the world?

The Humboldt Current is part of a much larger system, the South Pacific Gyre, and the equator as its uppermost limit.

The North Atlantic Right Whale is on the verge of extinction. The leading cause of death and injury to the whales is from ship strikes or entanglement in fishing lines. In this Breakthrough episode, we will hear from the leading experts and biologists who are racing to save this species.

Life in the ocean is more similar to yours than you may think! On Malaysia's Sipadan Island—one of the most biodiverse places on the planet—a great coral city is home to millions of organisms who must navigate daily life among neighbors of all shapes and sizes.

More than 100 filmmakers, scientists and experts collaborated on this journey to find intelligence beneath the waves. Through stunning footage and emotional storytelling, discover the rich inner lives of whales and dolphins—and see how closely they mirror human relationships and cognition.
