Oceans freak me out, the vast expanse etc
I feel the same way. What freaks me out when on the surface of the ocean is thinking about the mind-boggling expanse of water below me. If you've ever snorkled in the open ocean as I have, you look down and the light fades out below you into this dark abyss which you can't see the end of. It's kind of terrifying. Not to mention all the dangerous shit that lives down there, like the Colossal Squid with tenticles as long as a bus that could tear you to pieces.
Look at this grahic showing the depth of the ocean to scale. The little black pixel at the top represents a 6ft man. Crazy!
Fantastic.
We know more about the moon than the bottom of our oceans. Cthulhu lurks down there.
