This Sunday (March 25) the Discovery Channel will be broadcasting the series Planet Earth at 8pm ET/PT. Footage of Davidson Seamount will be broadcast in the Deep Ocean episode at 10pm ET/PT. Expect to see some gorgeous gorgonians and some handsome fly-trap anemones.
Discovery Channel put together a very slick flash website for the occaission, complete with a Google Earth tour, videos, and online games.
Need we ask how this will compare to the incredible Blue Planet series five years ago?
