Illustrated by
Nicole Wong.
"You" are the pilot of Alvin, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's deep-sea submersible first launched in 1965. A clear text evokes the nearly two-mile journey to the ocean floor; readers are introduced to Alvin's tasks and the nature of the deep-sea biome. Digital illustrations are both exact in their depiction of Alvin's wondrous mechanics and evocative in their survey of seemingly otherworldly deep-sea life. Reading list, websites. Glos.
