First sentence: Only 150 years ago, life in the deep oceans was virtually unknown. Reaching these depths was a goal of early explorers and naturalists, such as those of the Challenger Expedition (1872–76). They were rewarded with astonishing discoveries of a wealth of diverse life in the deep sea. Since these early ventures, expeditions to study this realm have increased in regularity and scope, continuing to reveal extraordinary life-forms across the globe.
