The Pacific Ocean's mysterious deep sea terrain is as varied as the land mirrored above. From hulking sea mounts, island atolls, and lagoons, to a monumental network of a barrier reef so long it can be seen from space, the complex ecosystems of reefs are the lifeblood of the Pacific Ocean.

Of the Pacific's 25-thousand islands, roughly two-thirds are in the Coral Triangle. The Triangle is a small western Pacific pocket from Indonesia, north of the Philippines and across to the Solomon Islands. Though marveled for its reefs, within the volcano-lined bays, another astonishing ecosystem is emerging.
