The Challenger expedition dredged the deep sea and hauled up microscopic jewels. Ernst Haeckel spent years describing these radiolaria, single cells that build glassy skeletons of dazzling geometry, sorting them into legions, orders, and families. A monumental work of marine science and stunning natural form. Marvel at the tiniest architecture the ocean ever produced.
