Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world

Summary

This quote emphasizes the vastness of the ocean, covering a significant portion of the Earth's surface. It highlights the irony that despite the ocean's importance and magnitude, humans are not naturally equipped to survive underwater. By contrasting the ocean's size with our limitations, it suggests that while the ocean is a key aspect of our planet, it remains largely inaccessible to us.
