A team of scientists deployed a camera into the depths of the ocean to catch a rare glimpse of a giant squid in US waters, just over 100 miles from Louisiana and Alabama
Few scientists get to just go on a mission for the sake of exploring. Even fewer get to encounter rarely seen images of animals in their natural habitat. But a group of scientists on a research mission in the Gulf of Mexico got to do both.
The two-week mission was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research. Scientists Dr. Edie Widder, Dr. Sönke Johnsen, and Dr. Nathan Robinson, along with their crew, dove their cameras into the depths of the ocean to capture any life beyond the human eye. At just over 100 miles from Louisiana and Alabama, they made a historic discovery: a giant squid in US waters.
