Off the Azores, Gerst dives into the underwater world: with marine biologist Antje Boetius, he follows the routes of whales and embarks on an expedition into the deep sea, 1000 meters beneath the waves. Eternal darkness, cold, extreme pressure: in the research submersible, the duo explores hidden coral reefs, bioluminescent creatures and a mysterious submarine wreck that has become an oasis of life in the depths. For the space traveler, an unforgettable journey into one of the last great wilderness areas on Earth – which must be protected for future generations.
