Happy World Ocean’s Day!

🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊

To celebrate here is the latest crazy sighting from the E/V Nautilus Exploration, a mysterious jellyfish found in remote Pacific depths. Dr. Dhugal Lindsay helped identify this jellyfish as a member of the order Narcomedusae, and an undescribed species within the genus Bathykorus. You love to sea it 🌊

“Dancing at a depth of around 1,600 meters (5,250 feet), this elegant octopus measures an estimated 1.3 m (4.2 ft) long and entertained our watch team for more than five minutes... Little is known about Cirroteuthid octopuses other than that they often swim or drift near the seabed at depths of over 2,000 m (6,600 ft) where light does not penetrate the cold waters.” ©EVNautilus

"Casper Octopus in the Deep Sea of the Cook Islands

Our Corps of Exploration witnessed this Casper octopod from the suborder Incirrata while exploring a series of knoll hills in the central region of the Cook Islands' waters. Using the ROV Little Hercules, we were diving over 4,100 meters (13,000+ feet) deep when we spotted this roaming cephalopod, still mostly unknown to scientists. With an arm span less than 20 centimeters, this petite white or violet octopus was nicknamed Casper when first spotted in 2016, more than 3,000 miles north in the Hawaiian Islands. While no formal species name has yet been given to these animals (as no specimens have been collected), scientists estimate that Casper octopods may be the deepest-dwelling octopus species that lacks fins." - nautiluslive.org

What if we are underwater right now? But i don't know it and no one else knows it. We are having a picnic as the land dwellers launch a strange camera recording a livestream with light coming from it. We pause to realize an odd glow getting closer as the land ones say "i think i see something!", staring up at the light trying to comprehend the feeling of the unknown shine we've never felt before. As the landlubbers make comments on how weird and how we look weirder than normal because we are scared out of our mind. They move somewhere else while we look at each other knowing what just happened to us will never get explained in our lifetime... But maybe that's for the better...

that's how it feels to be an animal seen on the ev nautilus
