Scientists studying Antarctic waters have filmed and captured giant sea creatures never seen before. They saw sea spiders the size of dinner plates and jelly fish with six meter long tentacles. They also filmed other unknown species of sea life. Here's more.
STORY:
A fleet of three Antarctic marine research ships returned to Australia this week ending a summer expedition to the Southern Ocean where they carried out a census of life in the icy ocean and on its floor more than one kilometer below the surface.
[Martin Riddle, Marine Scientist Doctor]:
"A huge diversity of life, very colorful, very rich, far exceeding any of our expectations."
The three ships, the Aurora Australia, France's L'Astrolabe and Japan's Umitaka Maru all docked in Hobart on Australia's southern island state of Tasmania. Their decks are full of an array of sea life including unknown species of sea creatures collected near the eastern Antarctic land mass.
[Martin Riddle, Marine Scientist Doctor]:
"There are forces happening in the world, in the atmosphere and in the ocean that are going to change even this the Antarctic and the southern ocean, so it is really important now to have baseline so that we know what we have got now, so that we can identify whether it is changing and put in place measures to protect it before it is lost."
The Australian Antarctic Division expedition will help scientists monitor the impact of environmental change in Antarctic waters.

About 75% of earth is water.
Imagine all the lifeforms that are yet to be discovered.
We may even find a cure for cancer beneath the ocean. I mean, how could these creatures survive without light that deep below the surface and manage to maintain an existence. It's very fascinating that's what it is. I guess humans aren't the only ones who adapt to their surroundings. Imagine if we could do this underwater like them.
