Transatlantic Submarine Cables Reaching Land - Taryn Simon

"These submarine telecommunication cables extend more than 8,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean before reaching this endpoint in Avon, New Jersey. They transmit as many as 60 million simultaneous conversations. "There's a humor because the cables are so important, yet they look so unguarded and unimportant," Simon said."
