Rare sightings in the sea
The ocean world is all about mysteries and depth. The more we dive deep into it, the more it surprises us with its enigmas. More than 70 per cent of the Earth is covered with oceans, and these colossal deep waters are the most unexplored habitats of planet Earth.
Almost every year, around 2,000 new and unseen marine species are introduced to the aquatic family. Most sea creatures remain undiscovered due to their unreachable habitats, which is the deep and widespread ocean bottom. If you descend deep into the ocean, you will see light vanishing from the depth of the sea. Dive deeper and you can feel the temperature dropping while the pressure rising. After going 13,000 feet down into the sea, there’s no light at all and the temperature attains freezing point.
It is hard to believe that life exists in those unwelcoming depths of the ocean. It is not possible for human beings to reach those depths easily and they rarely encounter the creatures living at such ocean depths. Ocean scientists have now come up with new and advanced technologies to get there and explore the vast hidden side of the oceans. With the help of advancement in science and technology, scientists and researchers are discovering thousands of fascinating deep-sea animals, including fishes, corals, worms, jellyfishes, seamounts and crustaceans. And they have been making astounding discoveries and the rarest of sightings.
