The Canada Basin:
The deep oceans are the last unexplored realms of our planet. And most mysterious of all is the Canada basin – a vast ice-capped section of the Arctic Ocean that's been isolated for millions of years. Marine biologists have long suspected its 4 km depths are home to all manner of unique sea creatures and soon they'll be able to find out whether that's the case. The global Census of Marine Life project has announced plans to send in underwater robots to film and sample what's down there. Dr Russ Hopcroft of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks is one of the scientists in charge of the exploration programme.
