New Coral Gardens and Hydrothermal Vents Found in the Icy Depths of the Remote South Sandwich Islands https://schmidtocean.org/new-coral-gardens-hydrothermal-vents-found-south-sandwich-islands/

"recent #DeepSea expedition observed thriving polar ecosystems, discovered new #HydrothermalVents, coral gardens, and many suspected #NewSpecies... #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s RV #FalkorToo explored the #SouthSandwichIslands, including one of the coldest and most isolated submarine trenches on the planet, and also found evidence of explosive volcanism."

Thriving Antarctic Ecosystems Found in Wake of Recently Detached Iceberg https://schmidtocean.org/thriving-antarctic-ecosystems-found-in-wake-of-recently-detached-iceberg/

"team on board #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s R/V Falkor (too) rapidly pivoted their research plans to study an area that was, until last month, covered by ice... they observed the #DeepSea for 8 days and found flourishing ecosystems at depths as great as 1300m. Their observations include large #corals and #sponges supporting an array of animal life, including #icefish, giant #SeaSpiders, and #octopus"

#Scientists just filmed a rare video of a giant #DeepSea #squid carrying eggs https://oceanographicmagazine.com/news/scientists-just-filmed-a-rare-video-of-a-giant-squid-carrying-its-eggs/

"Usually, squid species lay their eggs on the seafloor and leave them alone after they despatched them, but this species of squid – the black-eyed squid (Gonatus onyx) – carries and broods its eggs for several months and therefore is one of only two so far confirmed species that are known to take care off their offspring after spawning."

Scientists document rich #biodiversity along underexplored Chilean coastline https://phys.org/news/2024-12-scientists-document-rich-biodiversity-underexplored.html #DeepSea

"scientists on board a recent #SchmidtOceanInstitute #RVFalkorToo expedition surveyed nearly 20 #MethaneSeeps, some of which are new discoveries, and four submarine canyon systems previously never before seen by humans... They found an abundance of #animals, including possibly 60 #NewSpecies or more, living in surprisingly diverse ecosystems off the Chilean coast"

"The crew of #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s research vessel #Falkor (too) discovered four underwater mountains — the tallest of which is over 1.5 miles high — on a January transit from #CostaRica to #Chile... The seamounts were found as the technicians plotted a course to examine gravity anomalies during the transit... Underwater mountains and trenches often host #DeepSea #CoralReefs, #sponges, & #anemones"
