The conditions under the deep

The conditions under the deep sea were completely dark. Temperatures near freezing point and pressures that can be 1,000 times greater than atmospheric pressure at sea level. These extreme conditions have led to unique evolution. As a result, the deep sea is home to some of the strangest and most mysterious creatures on Earth.


During an expedition off the coast of Chile Scientists have discovered more than 100 new species of animals living on underwater mountains. The discovery of this incredible discovery occurred along the ridge. ‘Salas y Gómez, an underwater mountain range that stretches 2,900 kilometers between Chile and Easter Island. The discovery reveals the biodiversity hidden in the ocean at depths of up to 3,530 meters above sea level.



An international team of researchers supported by the Schmidt Ocean Institute has been exploring the deep sea using underwater robots. in an area that has never been surveyed before, covering an area of 52,777 square kilometers. through data collection Map the ocean floor and underwater mountain ranges Until finally, they found a deep-sea ecosystem that has biodiversity in extreme conditions that humans cannot reach.
