It's "At the Mountains of Madness" all over again, but in the ocean this time! Check out some of these giant, unknown animals found off
Antarctica, and do your best to convince me they aren't all invaders from the horrible depths of space. The ocean both excites and terrifies me
sometimes.

That's okay, it's a spider, but it lives in the darkest, coldest and farthest-away water you'll probably find.
Unless you live in the far south of Chile, or on the southern end of Australia... ... you know, close to where the Old Ones sleep... |

Anyone else see this thing?
I can't even begin to comment. |

That sea cucumber was the most entertaining looking thing. Sort of like if you poked it, it'd make a sqeaky noise like a dog toy.
The ocopus, however, looked like the disembodied head of C'thulhu. Or the aliens in "Independence Day." |

I luff them.
My HarryPotterverse "house" House Domina uses an octopus as their animal symbol. (because they've got their tentacles in everything...)

Ten quid says half of these things are extinct by 2020 because we can't bring ourselves to leave them alone. The ocean has some really deep secrets in it
... we know more about the surface of the moon than we do the ocean floor.

Of course we know more about the Moon. For one thing, it's all grey rock, with no surprises. Plus, we can stare at one side all we want, and it just takes
some probes to get the other side pretty well mapped. In the ocean, however, stuff will eat you.
But yeah, I don't doubt we'll drive half of 'em to extinction. Hell, in the time it took me to type this, one or two species went extinct, and we probably didn't even know they existed. "Kidnapping Nubile Victorian Ladies Since 1867" |

I HATE that. How can so many species go extinct so very fast? Why do we all care so very little? What is happening to our Earth? It makes me very nervous
sometimes.
