this reminded me of the may edition of national geographic which featured the incredible discoveries under the waters of the antarctic. one of the many discoveries was that of a “city” of brittle stars. tens of millions of these creatures—invertebrates related to starfish and sea urchins—were observed feeding in the fierce currents that swirl around antarctica . . . . here are a few of the brittle stars . . .
and they found much more . . . .
if these images pique your curiousity then here’s the gallery you definitely want to cruise through.
and finally here’s a video about some of the latest discoveries on the antarctic sea floor.
