BBC Four - Deep Ocean: Lights in the Abyss

The world's first quest to film bioluminescent creatures in the deep.

Sir David Attenborough narrates a documentary about the bioluminescent creatures inhabiting the pitch-black environments of California's Monterey Bay.

In a huge submarine canyon in California's Monterey Bay, there is an illuminating twilight zone. It is a world of countless exotic creatures, including sparkling jellyfish and deep sea fish that give off flashes. Using an ultra-high sensitivity 4K camera specifically developed for deep sea filming, together with experts in the field, Lights in the Abyss captures bioluminescent creatures in their natural habitat, deep in the Pacific Ocean. 

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
