In the last of our water-theme posts this month, we join Hannah Hindley on a s spectacular journey that takes us from a crystal-covered cave in the prehistoric landmass of Wrangallia, to the Panthalassa Ocean and out into the sky – pondering the salty seas on Jupiter's Moon and the ghost oceans of Mars. This essay is an extract from a longer piece, 'Convergences' – which can be found in Dark Mountain: Issue 21.
