In this article, we will learn more about the science of oceanography and the history of ocean exploration throughout the centuries.
The rest, especially its depths, are still unknown. It might be shocking to find out, but only 5% of the ocean has been explored and charted by humans. In fact, most of the waters remain unexplored, uncharted and unseen by our eyes. The five main ocean basins, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Southern Oceans contain 94% of the world’s wildlife and 97% of all the water on our blue planet.ĭespite the central role it obviously plays in our planet’s balance, and the appeal the ocean has held to men since the beginning of time, we actually do not know much about its mysteries. As much as we try to picture its vastness, however, it remains almost incomprehensible. Today, we know that the ocean makes up about 71% of the Earth’s surface, and it is the biggest ecosystem of the planet, holding 99% of all habitable space in the world.
For centuries, humankind has been fascinated by the sea, exploring it and venturing towards the blue horizon in search of new land and adventures.
