This beautiful album showcases the incredible power and dramatic beauty of the world's great oceans, which cover two-thirds of the Earth's surface - approximately 140 million square miles.

Vast expanses remain unexplored or undeveloped, although over 90% of the world's trade is transported over them, and they provide oil and other minerals useful to humanity. They are also home to countless species of flora and fauna, including billions of fish, mammals like whales and dolphins, and birds.

Moreover, the oceans are important for millions of people, as they provide means for their survival. At the same time, they offer the ideal environment for various activities, from simple sunbathing on golden beaches to water sports like surfing and sailing.
