The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss

The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss is a new book by Claire Nouvian, who was so inspired by what she saw in the deep ocean that she wanted to help raise awareness for all that we don’t know about the vast number of species living there (scientists say there are probably around 20 million undiscovered species). She worked with a range of research organizations to curate 220 stunning images, many of creaures never caught on film.

Available at Amazon and other retailers.

COOL HUNTING always gets permission to use the images we publish; however, as an independent publication, we cannot afford to continue fighting unfair claims of copyright infringement, so the images have been removed from this post.
