Like a tiny heart beating in time, this deep-sea jellyfish — Periphylla — pulses through the Ocean’s midwater. ROV pilots filmed this luminescent beauty at 920m along Argentina’s continental shelf, off the coast of Buenos Aires #ArgentinianDeepSeeps Credit: ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

Follow the rainbow into the deep! This Cestum sp. — also known as the Venus girdle ctenophore — is one of the largest of the comb jellies in our global Ocean. ROV pilots filmed it during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition with @schmidtsciences.bsky.social
Monday mayhem! We've never seen a scallop crash into an anemone riding a snail through a seafloor field of brittle stars either — but hey, you explore to see something new, right?! ROV footage from #Ecosde2Cañones expedition along the Patagonian shelf break.
Benthic ctenophores clinging to tunicates attached to a submarine canyon wall ~1.75 miles deep, during #ArgentinianDeepSeeps. Platyctenida have colloblasts, or sticky cells that release a mucus-like glue when they unspool extra-long tentacles into the water column and fish for their next meal.
Let your party streamers fly like a ctenophore! As the year draws to an end, we’re celebrating a year of supporting international teams of scientists on board R/V Falkor (too) off the coasts of Antarctica, the South Sandwich Islands, Argentina, & Uruguay. Happy New Year to all!
Aulacoctena Gabriela Mistral’s “Weaving the Round” (translated by Ursula K. Le Guin) “Where shall we go to weave the round? Shall we go down to the ocean beach? The sea'll dance in a thousand waves to make us an orange-blossom wreath." #OBVI #LivingBioreactor 1201 m
A bustling seafloor scene from the #taleof2canyons expedition: “We studied how these canyons can facilitate such incredible biodiversity,” said Chief Scientist Dr. Silvia Ines Romero. “What are the mechanisms — the currents and the chemistry — that support all of this life?”
Two skate passing in the dark. Between 200 and 145 million years ago, during the Jurassic period, these cartilaginous fish emerged — part of the class Chondrichthyes, which also includes sharks, stingrays, and chimaeras. ROV pilots filmed these at skate 432 meters during #ArgentinianDeepSeeps
A swingin’ seafloor hotspot! 🎶 This #Ecosde2Cañones footage fr the Patagonian shelf break is an excellent example of collective foraging behavior. Fish & other creatures navigate deep-sea currents to access an area rich w/nutrients — these vital energy hubs at the interface of shelf & open Ocean.
#PoetryInOcean for Elvin abyss tunicate "...Who shall hear the wind roaring like leaves of forests; the white rocks snarling in the moon gleaming, in the moon waning, in the moon falling a corpse-candle; the storm mumbling, the abyss moving?” Read abt new species: scripps.ucsd.edu/news/two-scr...
