Mysterious Sea Creatures Found In Antarctic Waters
Research vessels have returned overflowing with a vast array of ocean life including a number of previously unknown species collected from the cold waters near the East Antarctic land mass. French and Japanese ships examined the mid and upper ocean environment, while the Australian vessel had her eyes fixed on the ocean floor, using both traditional and innovative sampling equipment to capture the diversity of life. Scientists have collected huge worms, giant crustaceans and sea spiders the size of dinner plates.
