Features: In the vast center of the Pacific Ocean, stand several silent islands, where they are a paradise for marine life. There is a bird named Amelia, a hardworking albatross mother, who inspired Carl Safina on this ocean journey. To track her, Carl attached an advanced miniature satellite sensor to her. At this moment, the hungry baby albatrosses are eagerly waiting for Amelia, while Amelia is circling 2,000 kilometers away from the nest, searching for food in the ocean. We will follow Amelia, along the way, she welcomes us like a hospitable ocean host, sharing with us her perspective on the ocean world. On this rarely-traveled ocean journey, Amelia also introduces us to the habits and activity patterns of various marine wildlife, such as whales, sea turtles, sharks, seals, marine fish, and seabirds. It is the motivation for survival that enables these creatures to escape the numerous crises brought by hunters and predators. Although danger will continue to arise, albatrosses and their marine neighbors are likely to survive indefinitely without extinction. Amelia's life (and also our life) is a magnificent epic filled with hope and struggle.
