All About Quest for the Goblin SharkFar beneath Tokyo Bay lies a giant ravine: the Tokyo Submarine Canyon, 1,000 meters deep and 40 kilometers long.
In these isolated depths, underwater life-forms have maintained their ancient shapes and characteristics. Scientists have been pursuing one such creature in
particular, known in the West as the goblin shark. Named so on account of its evil-looking features, this fearsome species has been swimming in the ocean depths for a hundred million years.
None had ever been recorded swimming by a TV camera. How could such an ancient species have continued to exist so close to the modern megalopolis of Tokyo? The Goblin Shark offers an "in-depth" investigation into that mystery.
