The Radiant Sea: Color and Light in the Underwater World

Geological Lecture Hall 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge

Dive into the wonders of the ocean with marine biologist and photographer Steven Haddock, Senior Scientist, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and coauthor with Sönke Johnsen of The Radiant Sea (Abrams Books, 2025). Through stunning photography, insightful captions, and engaging essays, the book explores how sea creatures display transparency, vivid pigmentation, iridescence, bioluminescence, and fluorescence—from the shallow tropics to the deep sea.

Videos, animations, and hands-on demonstrations will bring the book’s remarkable images to life. This event offers a unique glimpse into the vibrant world hidden beneath the waves.
