Author/narrator Helen Scales describes the ship PELICAN when she was part of its research crew, establishing her personal connection to the deep seas. The marine biologist brings a British accent and a sense of wonder to her observations of a creature called "a headless chicken monster" and many other life-forms that even scientists are still learning about. She adds drama to a description of a vampire squid and piques listeners' curiosity about the purpose of throwing logs into the ocean. Scales keeps that excitement alive when quoting a researcher who compares the discovery of an undersea mountain to finding Atlantis. She shares her passion and concern when talking about deep-sea mining and climate change, which pose risks to the undersea frontier. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
