Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, this ~1700m high Seamount (4 x height Empire State Building) appeared where existing low-res grid = flat!
These data support our research program & will be submitted to Seabed 2030.

NOVA CANTON TROUGH
In March, April and May some of our #deepsearesearch team are exploring the Nova Canton Trough (Central Pacific) over 4 legs with Inkfish.
Presenting a swarm of amphipods at 8000m deep. Caught on a baited lander camera on Leg 1.

Back on land and serving you some Friday viewing - a ctenophore getting booped by a deep-sea grenadier in the northeast Pacific a few weeks ago.
Shout-out to Megan Cundy who analysed the footage onboard RV Dagon.

The Coastal Seas team will be exploring Curaçao's mesophotic coral ecosystems and their connection with shallow-water coral reefs.
Our main goal is to characterize the biodiversity, ecology and physical oceanography of these underwater ecosystems.

The 'big-finned jellyhead' octopus Cirroteuthis aff. muelleri playing in among a rock avalanche deposit at 5800m in the Central Pacific Ocean. It is the third time we've come across this species in the last 2 weeks. #inkfishexplore

Its not often you get this close to an animal at 4816m water depth.
Another πΆππππ‘ππ πππ ππππ π‘πππ π’π filmed in the Pacific for our research and your viewing pleasure.
