Melvin Mosley+FollowThis Undersea 'Metropolis' Is WildMove over, Lost City—there’s a new deep-sea giant in town! Scientists just found the Kunlun hydrothermal field in the Pacific, and it’s over 100 times bigger than the famous Lost City. Picture massive craters, shimmering dolomite walls, and a wild ecosystem of shrimp, lobsters, and tubeworms thriving in hydrogen-rich waters. This place could even help us figure out how life started on Earth. Who knew the ocean was hiding something this epic? #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #OceanMystery20Share
Michael Flores+FollowDeepest Ocean Life Found—And It’s WildImagine cruising miles below the ocean’s surface and stumbling on a whole new world! Scientists just discovered a massive ecosystem in the hadal zone (think: 19,000+ feet deep) where creatures survive without sunlight, living off methane from cracks in the seafloor. We’re talking clams, tube worms, and microbes that literally make food from gas. This changes what we know about life on Earth—and how the deep sea helps trap carbon. Nature is wild! #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #OceanMysteries1040Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowDeepest Ocean Creatures Discovered!Imagine finding a whole alien world at the bottom of the Pacific! A Chinese submersible just dove 30,000 feet—deeper than Everest is tall—and found wild, never-before-seen creatures. Think spiky worms, giant clams, and fields of crimson tubes, all thriving in total darkness by eating chemicals, not sunlight. Scientists are freaking out because this is the first time these chemosynthesis-based communities have been spotted so deep. Who knew the ocean had so many secrets left? #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #OceanMysteries90Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDeep Sea Glow-Up: New Creature Found!Did you see this? Scientists just found a wild, glowing sea creature called a Solumbellula (aka sea pen) in the Pacific for the first time ever! These guys are like jellyfish-meets-feather pen and literally light up the ocean floor. No one’s sure if it’s a new species or if it migrated from other oceans, but it’s a huge deal for deep-sea discoveries. The ocean is still hiding so many secrets! #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #OceanMystery663Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowGlow-in-the-Dark Fish Found in the Deep!Scientists just found a totally new species of glowing fish nearly 11,000 meters down in the Mariana Trench! It’s called Abyssus luminosa, and it literally glows blue in the pitch-black ocean. This little jelly-bodied fish survives insane pressure and even hangs out in groups (which is wild for deep-sea creatures). The tech they used to find it is next-level, and get this—its unique biology could inspire new medicines. Proof there’s still so much left to discover on our own planet! #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #MarianaTrench141Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowLost City Found: Earth’s OG Life Hack?Scientists just found a wild undersea 'Lost City' deep in the Atlantic that could literally hold the secret to how life started on Earth. Picture towering mineral spires, weird microbes living without sunlight, and a whole ecosystem that’s been untouched for over 120,000 years. The craziest part? This place might show us how life could exist on other planets too. But now, deep-sea mining could threaten it before we even unlock its mysteries. Protect the Lost City! #LostCity #OriginsOfLife #DeepSeaDiscovery #Science40Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAntarctic Squid Spotted—For Real!A never-before-seen live Antarctic squid just made its camera debut! Scientists on a Nat Geo expedition caught the elusive Gonatus antarcticus squid chilling 2,000+ meters deep in the Weddell Sea. Until now, this three-foot-long deep-sea weirdo was only known from random body parts found in fishing nets or predator bellies. Now we’ve got actual footage, and it’s wild. Proof there’s still so much left to discover in our oceans! Check out the insane video on NatGeo.com. #DeepSeaDiscovery #Antarctica #SquidGoals #Science60Share
