It dwells miles down, nearly freezing in perpetual darkness, equipped with numerous appendages to capture prey. Deep Sea biologists found a new animal some 26,000 feet (7,902 meters) underwater in the ...

The deep sea, covering approximately 65% of Earth's surface, has long been considered a biological desert. In this extreme environment—particularly in the hadal zone at depths greater than 6,000 ...

Marine researchers exploring extreme depths say they have discovered an astonishing deep-sea ecosystem of chemosynthetic life that’s fueled by gases escaping from fractures in the ocean bed. The ...

Immense hydrostatic pressure, near-freezing temperatures, and extreme nutrient limitations of the hadal zone create seemingly ...

Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Part I. History, geology and technology. Introduction ; 1. The history of hadal science and exploration ; 2. Geography and geology ; 3. Full ocean depth technology -- ...

An strange deep-sea fish washed up on the Oregon shore recently, but it didn't surprise the fish nerds at the Seaside Aquarium. The crew at the aquarium were familiar with the fish, which had fanged ...

Just 6 kilometers (about 4 miles) of briny water separate the ocean's surface from the depths known as the hadal zone. Yet for as much as we know what lurks in its cold darkness, it might as well be ...

The Mariana snailfish lives nearly 27,000 feet underwater, but has features that help it adapt to intense water pressure and cold. Physiological limits may prevent fish from surviving in deeper water.
