SELECTED TITLE BY NORLA – extensive translation grants available

Underwater Wounderland: A voyage of discovery through the sea, takes you on a journey down into the kelp forest, to the precipitous sides of underwater volcanoes, down into the crushing, pitch-black depths and into the beating heart of the globe

As a child, Pia Ve Dahlen spent hours lying on the jetty marvelling at the life in
the sea beneath her. With the aid of her grandfather’s field microscope and
nature guide, she explored nature above and beneath the waves. And every new
thing she learned prompted new questions.
Her curiosity grew into a passion to understand how life developed in the vast
oceans that provide 99 per cent of the area in which animal life can live on our
planet. The sea is where life began, and the species there have evolved under
totally different conditions to land-based animals.
In Underwater Wonderland: A voyage of discovery through the sea, you’ll
read about the beautiful, intelligent and awe-inspiring marine animals that
have resulted from the experiments of evolution.
