The First Atlantic Cable

79 min

Two miles below the surface of the North Atlantic there is a floor that no daylight has ever reached. It lies between two continents, in water so cold and so deep that nothing down there is ever in a hurry. The sea above it turns with the seasons, and none of that weather ever arrives at the bottom.
