Gabrielle Walker explores why we know so little about the oceans that make up nearly 80 per cent of our planet. From strange new creatures that are only now being discovered to the treasures lying hidden in the inky depths, it is no wonder that oceanographers are calling this a golden age of oceanic discovery.
