Hawaii

Scientists were shocked to see a close-up view of an unidentified squid swim by the submersible’s porthole.

Scientists completed a 64-day cruise to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, onboard the University of Hawaii’s Research Vessel, Ka’imikai-o-Kanaloa, and the Pisces IV and V Submersibles. They studied the regions virtually unexplored deep-sea corals, submarine canyons, and seamounts.
