LiveScience.com - Strange New Creatures Found in Antarctica
Untitled Document Several strange creatures including a psychedelic octopus have been found in frigid waters off Antarctica in one of the world’s most pristine marine environments .
At least 30 appear to be new to science, said Julian Gutt, chief scientist of an expedition that was part of the International Polar Year research effort set to launch on March 1.
The researchers catalogued about 1, 000 species in an area of the Antarctic seabed where warming temperatures are believed to have caused the collapse of overlying ice shelves, affecting the marine life below..
The expedition also found sea lilies, sea cucumbers and sea urchins thriving on the sea floor—these species are usually found in much deeper waters where food is scarce, but the ice shelves probably made food scarcer than it would usually be at that shallow depth..
In the Weddell Sea off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, 10, 000 square kilometers of seabed was sealed off from the surface for thousands of years by the 100-m thick Larsen A and B ice shelves .
Using a remote operating vehicle, they were able to do the first comprehensive survey of life on the seabed.
They usually lose mass via icebergs that calve off and float out to sea gradually, but the Larsen A and B shelves both suddenly and surprisingly collapsed.

Deep Sea Photography
Bringing the Animals of the Abyss to Life Deep Sea Photography is the world's only stock image agency dedicated to the abyss and the remarkable deep-sea animals that inhabit it..
Our photographs of deep-sea animals are considered among the best in the world.
We focus on creatures found far offshore, in the deep ocean - a vast realm where depth is measured in miles rather than feet.
This is a strange world of bizarre deep-sea fish, giant squid and glow-in-the-dark bioluminescence.
Deep-Sea Photography holds a unique image collection containing many rarely photographed deep-sea creatures from the open ocean to the depths of the abyss.
We are particularly well known for our deep-sea fish and hydrothermal vent fauna photos, and stock a range of other oceanic imagery, including deep-sea invertebrates, marine biodiversity, marine science in action, deep-sea submersibles and ocean seascapes..
With an immense passion for, and knowledge of, the abyss, DeepSeaPhotography.Com can meet your deep-sea image requirements..

I can also say that this creature is so incredible, it has a body that is kind of like a plastic bag in that it can swallow prey larger than itself..
Can you see the tracks? Some are dogs that came to inspect the tracks and others are made by our most abundant sea mammal.

The amorphous greenish-yellow sea creature was wrongly classified as a mollusc because specimens contained mollusc DNA and eggs.
They conclude that the creature - called Xenoturbella bocki - is a worm..
The creature's rocky road to recognition began with its discovery more than 80 years ago.
A preference for sludgy sea habitats makes Xenoturbella difficult to find, so researchers can only guess at their numbers.
