I came across this
article on drudgereport, and thought it was interesting.
Scientists who conducted the most comprehensive survey to date of New Zealand's Antarctic waters were surprised by the size of some specimens
found, including jellyfish with 12-foot tentacles and 2-foot-wide starfish.
A 2,000-mile journey through the Ross Sea that ended Thursday has also potentially turned up several new species, including as many as eight new
mollusks.
It's "exciting when you come across a new species," said Chris Jones, a fisheries scientist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. "All the fish people go nuts about that - but you have to take it with a grain of salt."
It really amazes me how little we know about our own planet. We know more about space than we do the ocean.
The largest part of our planet and we don't know squat. I'd really love to take a submarine dive thousands of feet down, and take a look at what's
going on down there.
