The new seamount discovered at Nazca Ridge is a colossal underwater mountain exceeding 1.9 miles in height, providing a habitat for at least 20 previously unknown species.
This expedition marked a significant point in deep-sea exploration, revealing over 150 new species and emphasizing the complexity and hidden richness of under-explored marine environments.
Footage from underwater robots unveiled stunning new creatures, including the rare Promachoteuthis squid, demonstrating the ocean's biodiversity and the importance of continued exploration.
With 95% of Earth's oceans remaining unexplored, this mission underscores the necessity of marine research to deepen our understanding of oceanic ecosystems and their inhabitants.
