Just beyond the Great Barrier Reef, in depths greater than 200m, lies the deep sea. It is an area inhabited by many unique and fascinating creatures.
With an increasing depth the environment becomes darker and colder and the pressure rises rapidly. The creatures that call this area home show many interesting adaptions for life in such an extreme environment.
The Deep Sea is part the Discover Tropical Queensland Gallery on Level 2.
