11“Into the Abyss” National Geographic special March 14th
Filed Under (On TV) by Alexa & Cindy on 11-03-2009
Our awe over the majestic Kingdom of the Blue Whale isn’t even on the wane yet and here comes Nat Geo Channel right back, bringing it all 
over again with a one-two punch of Into the Abyss this Saturday night , March 14th, at 9 p.m. eastern, followed by a repeat helping of Blue bliss Sunday afternoon, 1 p.m. eastern. (Check your local listings.)
Travel to a creature-rich area in the Celebes Sea that surrounds the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, and which contains some of the widest variety of sea life of any ocean in the world.
But NG’s explorers aren’t content to swim around in the sunny, shallow waters counting fish. They must go deeper – 20,000 feet deeper, to be exact – into a deep, dark mystery they call an abyss.
If you dare, tag along as these explorers dive down, down, down in a first-ever attempt to find even more cool ocean creatures – and of course, a few surprises – and tons of WOW.
Who are you gonna watch with, and why?
Kingdom of the blue whale was amazing and highly inspirational!
It was! We’ve been researching more on blues ever since, and are very interested in the shipping lane problem. ~A and C
I can’t wait for this! Some of the footage came from Greg Stone’s Celebes Sea Expedition. The expedition blog and some photos are here:
