The deepest dive yet has been made under the wonderous snow-white continent, Antarctica, where many ice-adaptive creatures thrive.
After drilling a hole in the ice, located in Eastern Antarctica, a team of divers prepared themselves to enter the 10-foot-thick piece of ice. While only one person can enter the sea at a time, after the first diver entered the water, the hole had already begun to close, due to the extreme cold weather.
That must be an extremely scary feeling. What if the divers’ oxygen runs out before another hole can be drilled in the ice?
It’s a somewhat fearful idea, but luckily a team of experts remain ashore, to ensure that the operation goes smoothly.
The first dice would be one of thirty-two dives in different locations underneath the ice. The photographer dived as far as 230-feet to capture the spectacular images of sea creatures both unknown to any other waters in the rest of the world. Discovering a feather star species and the bioluminescent crown jellyfish were the two creatures found in the deepest dive.
The deepest dive yet
Antarctica’s waters might seem like a very interesting place to dive into, but there’s a reason why it’s never been done as deep as 236-feet, to be precise.
The uncertainty of ice formation, the weather or the dangers underneath the ice, has never propelled any team of experts to dive as deep as a team that plummeted down into the Antarctic ice in 2017.
Imagine dens and caves made of ice and inquisitive animals luring behind every corner, which includes, seal pups, otters and yes, even different species of penguins.
Finding a big octopus on the ocean floor, on what looks like a bed of thorn-like plants, seems rather disturbing, but it’s an incredibly new and enchanting world underneath the ice of the Arctic.
