Secrets of the depths: Unexplored inhabitants of the world’s oceans

The world’s oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, but its depths remain one of the least studied regions of our planet. Despite significant advances in the field of oceanography, researchers continue to discover amazing and mysterious creatures that live in these uncharted depths.

At depths of over 200 meters, where sunlight does not penetrate, there is a special ecosystem. Here live creatures that have adapted to extreme conditions: cold temperatures, high pressure and complete darkness. One of these inhabitants is the giant squid. These mysterious creatures, which can reach up to 13 meters in length, remain poorly understood. They were first captured on video only in 2004.
