💙 A new world of opportunities 🏄♂️ #Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface. Those mysterious depths are both intriguing and unsettling, remaining largely unexplored. The natural limitations of this environment beneath the surface mean that diving to great depths isn’t feasible. However, modern technology has allowed humans to probe these depths, uncovering a world brimming with life and echoes of our history. Even if we still hope to meet fantastical creatures, shipwrecks of ancient myths, and #JulesVerne’s characters, those are being replaced by a quest for a more accurate understanding of the ocean floor. This #seabed hosts diverse #ecosystems with varying temperatures, salinity, light and acoustic conditions depending on the depth. 👉 Far from being flat or barren, the #ocean floor features an abyssal plain, spanning an estimated volume of 307 million cubic kilometers, about 73 times the size of the European Union. 👉 Underwater mountain ranges, known as "ocean ridges", extend for 64,000 kilometers at heights up to 2,500 meters beneath the water’s surface. 👉 The seabed also contains ocean trenches, around 100,000 #seamounts, and #hydrothermal vents, showcasing the planet’s deepest activities. Supporting a better understanding of the oceans is one of the reasons why we decided to join The Indigo Civilization project, as it is aligned with our #vision of the future of humanity, our corporate #values, and our company #mission. #NeverStopDaring to #BuildBlueFuture 🗣 Marie Cantet, Maëlis Millet, Ewen Lucas
