The Sargasso Sea is a natural mystery. It is a warm "sea within a sea" in the midst of the cold Northern Atlantic Ocean where whirlpool-like currents have been said to becalm ships forever. Underneath huge tangles of seaweed are men-o-war, jellyfish, turtles, fish, and eels. Each spread in this book elaborately describes and depicts a characteristic of this complex and exciting watery habitat. Ruth Heller's rhythmic text and eye-popping illustrations go hand-in-hand in this 32-page hardcover book to explain the myths and secrets surrounding the mysterious Sargasso Sea.
