The exhibit has a light-up model of ocean zones, flip-through pictures of sea animals, and activities to discover how scientists map the ocean floor.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
