“Whale fall is a reflection of a more wholistic attempt toward an understanding of humankind’s posturing within this realm. The aspects of balance, mutualism, cohabitation and support systems are exemplified in this biological process which ironically takes place within the abyss, so far removed from our scope of vision in darkness, completely out of grasp without our technologies—an illustrative metaphor of a constant human quest into the unknown.”

It was the best part of a day before he could see the solid bottom.”
