Description: Marine microbiologist and explorer Jeffrey Marlow takes readers on a fascinating journey into the deep sea in The Dark Frontier, exploring one of Earth’s last largely unexplored frontiers. Marlow reveals the remarkable life and ecosystems found in extreme environments, from hydrothermal vents and methane seeps to whale falls, while examining theories about the deep sea’s role in the origins of life. He also explores the growing tensions between ocean exploration and exploitation, including deep-sea mining and the challenges of protecting the high seas. Through stories from scientists, conservationists, and other experts, Marlow offers an accessible look at the wonders of the deep sea and what they can teach us about our planet’s future.
