The great depths of the sea are the last unexplored landscapes on Earth. The creatures that live in this abyss are the least known of any on the planet and the awesome majesty of the world remains beyond our reach, However, with technological advances and breathtaking CGI, Ocean Odyssey has created the most accurate portrayal of the deep oceans that has ever been seen.

Following the life journey of an 80-year-old 45 tonne bull sperm whale, we take in the spectacular sights at the bottom of the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. We are with his family as the whale fends off an attack from a pod of Orca and as he comes face to face with animals that were once thought to be mythical - mysterious 15-metre oarfish and the enormous Giant and Colossal squids of legend.

As the whales dive over 2 kilometres below the surface the landscape of the deep comes vividly to life - impossibly deep canyons, underwater volcanoes and the highest and longest mountain ranges on Earth. The whale takes us on a rollercoaster ride - from the towering ancient spires of the Lost City, to massive undersea canyons and huge fields of black smokers.

Through our journey we discover how, across those 80 years, these seas have changed beyond recognition. This changing world is more powerful, yet more sensitive to change than we ever imagined and has the power to give life to the whole planet - or to take it away.
