The oceans make up more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface. But they are as mysterious for what they conceal beneath their surfaces as they are familiar for their ubiquity. Deep below the familiar swell of waves lies an alien world that we have only begun to explore. The quest to know more about this secret domain began in earnest in the late 1800s. In 1859, Charles Darwin's book "Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection set the scientific world abuzz with its theories on evolution. Scientists became increasingly convinced that the ocean floor could provide proof--or refutation--of Darwin's theory of natural selection. They believed that the deep sea was a haven for life that had long been extinct on land and that obscure fossil evidence culled from the depths could provide us with information on species that no longer existed topside. With its emphasis on locating and retrieving fossil records, that would test the new theory of evolution, "Challenger's voyage was nothing less than a mission to choose between God and science. Sailing three and a half years and 69,000 nautical miles through tropical heat waves and the stupefying cold of the Antarctic seas, the men of "Challenger suffered storms, privations of hunger, and crushing boredom of deep-sea dredging. Yet by the end of the expedition, "Challenger gathered thousands of samples from the ocean bed and mapped enormous areas of undersea terrain. The final result was a roaring success. Most startling of all was the revelation that the ocean was not a silent landscape that serenely reflected Earth's past--it was a gloriously vibrant ecosystem teeming with life characterized by variety and multitude on a scale we couldscarcely imagine from our landlocked perspective. Relying on the official documentation, logs, and journals of the ship's company, "The Silent Landscape recounts the tale of an extraordinary voyage brought to life by 21st-century science.
