"On the descent, the surface #ocean teems with gelatinous and soft-bodied #animals: #squid and #jellyfish undulating in and out of view. The #seafloor has a cast of characters: silvery rattail #fish trailing the vehicle, spider #crabs climbing into the basket, Dumbo #octopuses making appearances. And of course, the #worms, #mollusks, and #BacterialMats that thrive near vent systems."
