Covering more than 63 million square miles—about one-third of Earth’s surface—the Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on the planet.
But here’s the twist: despite its sheer size, the Pacific is rarely the “face” of Earth we see from space. Most iconic photos highlight the Atlantic side, where continents and population centers cluster together.
That means the true scale of the Pacific—the endless blue that dominates our planet—often goes unseen and underappreciated.
