While #Okeanos personnel have a fantastic discussion with the PRIME MINISTER of the Cook Islands! here was a cool scale worm at about 5590 m ! #wormwednesday! Some cool tentacles extended!

A sea pig with crazy big feeding arms! Family Elpidiidae I think with a big pointy extension on its head! #okeanos 5575 m Cook Island abyss

An elpidiid sea cucumber.. sea pig!! 5600ish m Cook Islands abyssal plain with pretty big feeding arms!

A pretty white snail at 5605 m.. does Gaza get this deep? #Okeanos abyssal plain living on the metallic nodles

A white synallactid sea cucumber- clear body wall so you can see the poop spiral as it digests food! #okeanos 5605 m or so Cook Islands abyssal plain

oh wow. #Okeanos at 5600 m An associated cladorhizid (carnivorous) and sea anemone! Together! abyssal plane Cook Islands.. talk about the thing with 2 heads!

#Okeanos has just touched down, about 5600 m on the abyssal plain of the Cook Islands EEZ. Lots of Mn nodules to look at!

Sea surface temperatures are substantially warming around the entire #Arctic Ocean in July during the satellite-era. This is especially large in the Kara Sea. Note the blue shading mostly corresponds to areas of sea ice. Data by OISSTv2.1. For more info: doi.org/10.25923/pz7...

I’ve just realised I have a backlog of spring plankton videos to share! I love this one of a sea gooseberry (Pleurobrachia pileus) as you can really see the ctenes (the combs that give comb jellies their name) working and the iridescent glow bouncing off them. #marineplankton 🦑

Stalked jellyfish are a super rare group of jellies that don't float, but instead anchor themselves to the seafloor using a special 'foot.' To move, they do cartwheels, holding onto the seafloor using sticky pads between their pompom tentacles. 🧪🌿🌊
