Intensely blue, the water around Bermuda are warmed by the gulf1 stream, one of world's largest and swiftest ocean currents. Humpback whales pass through these waters each years migrating from polar feeding grounds.
These waters also known to legions of
luminous2 deep sea creatures and entraped undersea explorers. In the 1930s,
zoologist3 William Beebe and engineer Otis Barton
descended4 thousands of meters into the depth surround Bermuda for a first view of life in the place sunlight never reaches. Beebe compared what he saw to neganspace itself out far beyonds atmosphere, between the stars, with blackness of space, the shinning planets,
cosmos5 suns and stars must really be closely a king to the world of life that appeared to the eyes of all human beings in the open ocean, one half mile down.
For Beebe and Barton the cosmets, suns and stars were living creatures reflecting rainbows of * were flashing, sparkling and glowing with their own living light. Fireflies and
glowers6 are famous light
makers7 on the land, but in the deep sea, about ninety percents of creatures, jellies, fish, bateria,
shrimps8, squids and many others have some form of bioluminescence to signal one another. Scientist say these bursts of
starry9 light may be the most common form of communication on the planet. In the open sea jellies also among the most abundant forms of life. The gulf stream current can carry these oddly beautiful drifters along at about one hundred and sixty kilometers a day.
Buffer10 by the gulf stream is magically quiet gently rotating mass of sargrassum weed that
expends11 over more than five million square kilometers of open waters.
Isolated12 by the walls of fast moving currents between Bermuda and Puerto Rico. The Sargasso Sea holds a liquid jungle of creatures which involved over the ages to exisent floating forests of golden-brown sargassum. With its leafy sunlit masses her

crab14. For scientists, it's a living laboratory strategically located in the open sea. For creatures living the undersea caves, among the reefs and in the great depths below, Bermuda is simply home.
