Across nearly a month exploring the Central Pacific, our team has witnessed never-before-seen landscapes and expanded what we know about Earthʻs residents! Join our Corps of Exploration for the joy of seeing these places with this highlight compilation of some of the best views from the seafloor on the seamounts surrounding Johnston Atoll. The team has been treated to abundant wildlife, including Lophocalyx and Bolosoma sponges, sea urchins, sea dandelions, a flying crinoid, and more. Lean into your screens just like our team does in the control room for up-close shots of sea spiders, a Venefica sp. eel, hydroids, and a translucent sea pig. And, of course, you can’t have a Nautilus Live highlight video without a Chaunacops anglerfish!
These deep-sea environments and ancient seamounts ~800 miles south of Hawaiʻi in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument contain some of Earth's most pristine marine ecosystems. Data associated with the region’s deepwater natural and cultural resources are particularly important now, as a monument management plan is under development, and the region is being considered as a new national marine sanctuary.

E/V Nautilus is exploring unknown regions of the ocean seeking out new discoveries in biology, geology, and archaeology. Join us 24/7 for live video from the seafloor and to ask questions of our explorers currently aboard Nautilus: www.nautiluslive.org.

The fact that these creatures are real and current is fantastic

Hopefully people will see these videos and no longer view the oceans as out-of-sight, out-of-mind dumping grounds. Such magnificence.

I like the subtle music backing this one. Captivating creatures as usual.

My dad was a CMSGT in the Air Force when we were stationed in Hawaii in the late-60’s, and he had to fly out to Johnson once a month for whatever his Cold War duties were back then. He kept a pair of goggles and swim fins there, because he really enjoyed looking at all the critters in the lagoon. Quite a bit shallower than you guys. Lolol

Cheese moon! Great video as always, these are pure joy to watch (especially with the commentary)

I can just sit for hours watching these.

You should watch the live dives then. Successful dives can get from 12hrs up to 24hrs. Tho sometimes they don't really see much lives in the deep and just enjoying the geology features.

Its funny the fact that people think that scientists are boring people talking about wierd scientific stuff and then you come here and you hear "this is called a cheese moon, but actually, its not a moon"

Crinoids are so cool, especially the flying ones. I've always wondered if you could make a flying contraption based on their movements, if you know what I mean.

I'm glad to hear that the scientists have tryphobia too lol. Syponophores really trigger mine

I remember having a book about the natural world as a child, and one image was a very slender deep sea eel which had just swallowed another eel almost the same size as itself. I had to stare at this eel here, to see if maybe we could make out another eel in its translucent belly.

Did they figure out what the wibbly tunicate looking thing was?

@dewantoroo 9 ай бұрын

From the description of this video... It might be the "translucent seapig" because the pink holothurian i don't think it fall on the sea pig type. I also remember the scientist said it has some sediment inside the digestive system after they brought it up to the surface.

So i saw a show on the jellyfish explosions taking over the ocean... then see two random nautilus episodes with jellyfish like things on them. Hmmm synchronicity or coincidence or paranoia...??? Twt
