My former colleagues at Southampton University’s Department of Oceanography have been awesome again. They have just been involved in an expedition to study deep sea hydrothermal vents in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica. The team discovered many new species, including new varieties of yeti crab (Kiwa hirsuta) and the absolutely gorgeous octopus pictured here. These creatures live around 2,400m down. More details here.
