The Gully, Canada, 1997
Photograph by Flip Nicklin
About 235 miles (378 kilometers) east of Halifax, the ocean floor drops away. Nicknamed The Gully, this place is more like a drowned Grand Canyon, measuring a dozen miles (19 kilometers) across and, in places, a mile (1.6 kilometers) straight down to the bottom. These deep waters are home to the immense—and immensely curious—bottlenose whales, whom scientists believe to be the deepest divers of all ocean mammals.

溪谷,加拿大,1997
摄影者:Flip Nicklin
在哈利法克斯以东大约235英里(378公里)处,洋底陡然下跌。这个名为溪谷的地方像极了一个被淹没的美国大峡谷。它横跨12英里(19公里),在某些地方深有1英里(1.6公里),直达水底。这深沉的水域是巨大的,并且极其奇特的巨齿鲸的家园。科学家们认为巨齿鲸是海洋哺乳动物中最深的潜水员。
