The Underworld of Hydrothermal Vents | 4K ROV Highlights
While conducting their seafloor experiments, the #VentUnderworld team encountered fantastical creatures from the Ocean's surface down the seafloor. Pelagic rays, thresher sharks, oceanic white tip sharks, phantom jellyfish, larvaceans, and the charismatic glass octopus are just some examples.
On the seafloor, SOI's stellar ROV pilots aided the scientists in deploying and adhering new scientific equipment known as "Mesh Box Staining Gadgets." These experiments were intended to collect data on whether or not hydrothermal vent animals are traveling through the vent systems below Earth's surface.
