The bottom of the sea may not have as many fans as space when it comes to adventure, but even children's animations (like the classic Procurando nemo) have already shown that the ocean depths can hide many secrets and fabulous creatures. That's exactly what the site The deep sea presents in an interactive way: a journey to the bottom of the sea. 2k5g2f
The site is an interesting teaching tool that allows you to learn about deep-sea species, the conditions in which they live and some curiosities. You don't need an oxygen mask or a submarine to go from the surface to the 10.924 meters depth of the The deep sea, but it is good to have free time.
As you scroll down, the depth increases. Also, if you stop for a while on the page, you may notice that the background moves slowly, so the journey looks more realistic.
Before submerging for 40 meters, you will have already ed Atlantic salmon, polar bear, the beloved clownfish and other more familiar creatures. At 275 meters, you can have an encounter with a great white shark.
It is also possible to get some interesting information. Upon reaching 332 meters, we are told that this is the deepest a diver has ever gone. Who did it was Ahmed Gabr, in 2014.
A little deeper and the creatures become lesser known, but perhaps more fascinating. An example is the Japanese Spider Crab, perhaps the biggest nightmare of arachnophobes, whose width from the tip of one leg to the other can reach almost 4 meters. It is found at 640 meters deep.
Going much deeper into The deep sea, we go through several species and they become rarer. At 2 meters, for example, we find the curious telescope octopus, which is transparent and appears to be made of glass. At 2200 meters we find the colossal squid, which can reach 10 meters and 700 kilos.
As you descend, you creatures that start to get “bizarre”, the remains of the Titanic (at 3.800 meters), the abyssal zone and the hadal zone (which has been visited by fewer humans than the Moon). After ing by very rare species and some facts in the hadal zone, the trip ends at 10924 meters.

The creator of The deep sea é Neal Agarwal, neal. fun. His creations have several interactive sites, such as The Size of Space, in which you compare the size proportions of astronauts, space rockets, satellites, asteroids, planets, black holes, nebulae, galaxies and more. It's basically an interactive (and interesting) way of seeing the universe at scale.
O baby map, another of Neal Agarwal's projects, allows visualization every time a baby is born in a country. It is a dynamic map in which the countries where the children were born blink. A counter below the map shows how many babies have been born since you opened the page and a table shows births by country. As this paragraph was written (in less than 3 minutes), for example, the page showed that 427 children were born in the world (10 of them in Brazil).
Another page called Bill Gates“, in Portuguese) shows how difficult it is to end the fortune of one of the founders of Microsoft. You can buy anything from cheap things like a $2 Big Mac to the more unusual things like a $60.000.000 rocket, the Mona Lisa for $780.000.000 or the NFL Team for $2.300.000.000, the most expensive on the list. Even so, the fortune full of trailing zeros, totaling $90.000.000.000, is not shaken.
Other sites by the same creator are: Dark Patterns, Where Does the Day Go, Life Checklist, paper, Progress, Grandpas' Art Show, Who Was Alive, draw your island, Speed e Draw Logos From Memory are equally creative and can make you spend hours having fun on the internet. All are available on the page neal. fun and show that he has a real talent as a “creative coder”, as he calls himself.
