Not only have we been there, but we can look at it whenever we want.<BR/><BR/>The sea, however, is a different beast entirely. The sheer quantity of water makes it difficult to penetrate and near impossible to see beyond a certain depth. <BR/><BR/>What's more, the deep sea is far more copmlicated and interesting than the moon (which is largely just rocks.) Incredibly strange creatures live down there many of which wait to be discovered.<BR/><BR/>Just recently, the first photograph of a live giant squid was taken at 2,950 feet below the surface of the water: <A HTM="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/09/0927_050927_giant_squid.html">National Geographic</A>. This is the creature that many people believe is the origin of stories about the Kraken, once thought to be purely fiction.<BR/><BR/>Even more recent, is the discover of the colossal squid, which is even larger than the famed giant: <A HTM="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2910849.stm">National Geographic</A>.<BR/><BR/>These creatures live deeper than the sturdiest man-made submersible has been able to reach. We cannot go into their world but they have been to come into ours. To occasionaly swim alongside ships and rarely to attack them. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing that such a different and imperceptable world is created by something so seamingly innocuous as water. There's nothing quite like it.Andrew Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006398936164979887noreply@blogger.com
