Sea Monsters Expeditions
The 1, 000-meter-deep canyon, located a kilometer offshore, is home to a rich variety of sea creatures, including sperm whales and their most remarkable prey, the legendary giant squid ( Architeuthis ).
Adam Frankel, a postdoctoral associate at the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP), joined the research team to track the movements of sperm whales as they dove into the depths of the canyon.
The expedition, the original working title for which was 'Sea Monsters' , was organized by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Geographic Society, in cooperation with several other research institutions and the U.S.
A World Wide Web site operated by the National Geographic Society (see links below) provided daily coverage of the adventures of the research team and background information about the expedition.
In their quest for the squid, the researchers hoped to take advantage of the sperm whales' skill at finding their elusive prey.
'Once we know where the whales are feeding, ' Frankel explains, 'we'll have a better idea where to send the cameras in search of squid.' The team's video "CritterCam" cameras were carried aboard an autonomous underwater vehicle, or robot submarine, and suspended on a cable that could be lowered deep into the canyon in search of squid and other creatures.

From 100 to 250 million years ago, the type of creatures that are now the stuff of Hollywood movies really did roam the seas.
There is even a free monster poster that includes such ancient sea monsters as the shonisaurus sikanniensis, which is the largest marine reptile known and may have measured 75 feet or more..
