Underwater Universe, History, 20.30
This show tracks the history and evolution of the ocean's seven deadliest zones - locations that throughout history have been the direct causes of human devastation by floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, whirlpools, ice, underwater volcanoes and shipping graveyards. Leading oceanographers, expert footage and 3D graphics depict the breath-taking cosmic and geological factors that make the oceans deadly over time.
