'The primary tools we used to obtain samples from these areas are depth-determining cameras, which are attached to wires under the research vessel and they give us direct images of the structure of the aquatic environment,' said Dr. 'And our expedition on the Tangora was the first to search the continental slope of the Ross Sea, and the first to look at a group of seamounts in the Ross Sea,' he added. We don't know much about the Ross Sea in southern New Zealand. 'The Southern Ocean is very deep, with depths ranging from 3 to 5,000 meters,' said Dr. Dave Bowden, who confirmed that these creatures are larger than anything seen so far on the seabed. The research team was surveying the floor of the Ross Sea near Antarctica, which is still unknown, using the latest technologies known to date.Īccording to the New Zealand researcher Dr.
