If you have a TV set or a computer capable of recieving HDTV broadcasts, you have to set it up to record one of the showings of "Oceans In Glass".
It is a breath-takingly beautiful presentation of what visitors to the Monterey Bay Aquarium see.
It is a lot easier than hopping in a jet to California to go see it. And, it is really a good show. It shows you views inside the aquarium from angles visitors cannot see.
Plus, it has lots of facts about all the successful marine biology experiments that go on at the aquarium and in the bay. The documentary and the aquarium are both stunning achievements.
Just turn on your set and watch it, or set it up to record it. You can play it back for friends when they come over for a visit and ask what is so great about HDTV.
Their reaction will probably be something like:
Oh...!
It is a
fantastic demostration of what HDTV can do that regular TV cannot. Not only that, it is informative and interesting.
NATURE. Oceans in Glass: Behind the Scenes of the Monterey Bay Aquarium | PBS:
Imagine standing on the bottom of the ocean and looking up into a glittering kelp forest alive with darting fish, or watching five-foot-long sharks and giant tuna whiz by at arm's length, or being surrounded by elegant, lacy white jellyfish as they soar, pulsing, through the water. Visitors to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on the coast of Northern California experience all this... and more.
