The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss is a new book by Claire Nouvian, who was so inspired by what she saw in the deep ocean that she wanted to help raise awareness for all that we don't know about the vast number of species living there (scientists say there are probably around 20 million undiscovered species). She worked with a range of research organizations to curate 220 stunning images, many of creaures never caught on film.
