Scientists have filmed a live juvenile colossal squid for the first time during a March expedition near the South Sandwich Islands, marking a significant milestone in deep sea exploration. The squid was filmed 600 meters deep, showcasing its translucent form. This sighting was accidental, as the team aimed to discover new marine life. The expedition also led to the first confirmed footage of the glacial glass squid. The Schmidt Ocean Institute continues to explore the depths of the ocean, revealing new species and ecosystems.
