The blobfish was voted the ugliest animal on Earth, but that famous face only happens when you haul it up from a kilometer down. Down there it snows day and night, and one flake of marine snow sets out to fall 11 kilometers, all the way to the deepest floor on Earth at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. On the way it meets the biggest migration on Earth, a vampire squid that eats snow, black smokers at 350 °C, a whale that feeds the floor for decades and the last fish before the bottom. Then it finds out what's really at the very bottom of the ocean. Every number in this video is on screen, and every fact is checked against the sources below.
