The Ocean Twilight Zone<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine if…. we explored a little-known part of the ocean. Below the sunlit surface, there’s a realm known as the ocean’s “twilight zone”. At 200 to 1000 meters below the surface, sunlight is barely a glimmer, yet flashes of bioluminescence give us a clue that these waters teem with life.<\/p>\n
