Ocean Census Expedition Arctic Biodiversity

IMAGE DISTRIBUTED FOR OCEAN CENSUS - In this image released on Thursday, June 6, 2024, discovered at a depth of 2,203 meters within the Jotul Vent Field, witnessed for the first time, this unusual pairing of a stalked crinoid and octocoral illustrates a unique deep-sea symbiosis, with the octocoral functioning as an epiphyte. The Ocean Census Arctic Deep Expedition has documented extraordinary biodiversity living thousands of metres below the Arctic surface, in a region now threatened by ocean warming and deep seabed mining.
