Deep Seafloor Mostly Unexplored, Study Finds

Imagine the deep ocean as a giant, unexplored wilderness.

Scientists have been exploring it, but it turns out they've only looked at a tiny, tiny bit of it!

Researchers looked at all the places where scientists have taken pictures and videos deep underwater.

They found that we've only seen about 0.001% of the deep seafloor.

That means we know almost nothing about most of the deep ocean.

Also, most of the exploring has been done by just a few countries.

The scientists say we need to find new ways to explore the deep sea if we want to learn more about it.
