Nautilus Deep Sea

The same mathematical patterns that shape distant galaxies and govern the orbits of planets and moons appear in the spiral of the Nautilus. Dwelling at near-seafloor depths of 1,800 feet, the Nautilus is an ancient marine mollusk whose shell consists of individual pressure-resistant chambers which grow continuously outward in a logarithmic spiral over its lifetime.

The Nautilus has become listed under the Endangered Species Act due to overharvesting for its shell.

The deep sea occupies over 95% of Earth’s surface! As stewards of the Indo-Pacific off the west coast, viewers are invited to contemplate a sense of interconnection with even the most mysterious and distant beings on our precious planet.
