Have you ever wondered what the ocean floor would look like if we took away all the water? It’s no secret that throughout history, the Earth’s appearance has been (and continues to be) constantly transformed. What the planet once hid under water, today we admire as, for example, the Grand Canyon. It is no different with the largest desert in the world – the Sahara. It, too, was once hidden among the depths.

It is also a great opportunity to see how varied and diverse the seabed is today, hidden beneath masses of blue water.
