Ocean Atlas is the world’s largest underwater sculpture

Sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor designed Ocean Atlas, a 60 ton, 18-foot high sculpture that lies beneath the sea near New Providence in the Bahamas. It represents a young girl holding the weight of the ocean. Taylor has several underwater projects around the world, including a display at Museo Atlantico in Lanzarote in the Canaries, which is believed to be the first underwater museum in Europe. His statues are made from Ph-neutral materials. This allows them to gradually transform into an artificial reef and morph with the marine environment. ----------------------------------------­­­­---------- Follow BI UK on Twitter: Follow BI UK On Facebook: Read more: ----------------------------------------­­­­---------- Business Insider UK is the largest business news site for British readers and viewers in the UK.
