The ocean may look beautiful from that pristine stretch of beachfront you're sipping your margarita on, but make no mistake: it's a huge trash can. In fact, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which lives between California and Hawaii, has expanded to 600,000 square miles—more than twice the size of Texas.

Just because the tide is coming in and receding doesn't mean that the ocean water you're taking a dip in is fresh, per se. The bad news for beach-goers is that parts of the ocean are teeming with bacteria—including that of the flesh-eating variety. A few years back, a woman claimed to develop necrotizing fasciitis after dipping her feet into the ocean off Myrtle Beach. A prokaryotic cell—the type of thing that, eventually, spawns disease—has never been discovered off-Earth.

While the ocean may not get struck by lightning as often as land, when it does, the results can be disastrous. Because water is a conductive substance, lightning spreads rapidly and can electrocute any people, boats, or sea life that are in its path.

Of course, all those wrecked ships didn't man themselves. In many cases, the bodies of crew members and passengers on shipwrecked vessels stay in the ocean for shockingly long periods of time. In 2014, researchers diving in an underwater cave off the coast of Mexico found the remains of a girl estimated to be at least 12,000 years old. In other words, the ocean is a cemetery. Space, not so much.

While it's nice to imagine that there's nothing but placid water below you when you're taking a dip in the ocean, the reality is much more terrifying. In fact, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

You probably don't want to encounter a shark during your swim, but those pesky jellyfish—of which there are millions in the ocean—may actually be a greater threat to your life. Thanks to their venom and relative lack of detectability underwater, jellyfish actually have a much higher body count than sharks.

While hurricanes may cause the most devastation when they make landfall, they form over the ocean. And when these ocean-based storms touch down, they touch down hard. In 2017 alone, 103 Americans died as a result of injuries sustained in hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria. Solar flares—storms from space—harmlessly bounce off our ozone layer.

If you think the beasts of the jungle are horrifying, you haven't seen anything yet. Deep sea creatures like the fangtooth (!), goblin shark, and frilled shark are far more terrifying than anything you'd discover on land. And we're always finding new monsters in the ocean: in fact, the largest colossal squid ever observed was found just over a decade ago, in 2012. Imagine what we'll discover in the next!

Think space is home to all the black holes? Think again. The ocean is teeming with eddies similar to the black holes in space, meaning nothing in their path can escape. Scarier yet, the black holes in the ocean are massive, often measuring up to 93 miles in diameter. For context, that's larger than the entirety of greater Los Angeles.

Space, the final frontier—or so they say. "They" clearly haven't turned their gaze to the depths of our own planet. Yes, space is frightening in an overwhelmingly existential way. But nothing about space—not the potential for alien invasions, not the inevitability of solar implosion, not the eons of never-ending nothingness—is as downright petrifying as these scary ocean facts.
