The cephalopods were found near the region’s hydrothermal vents under 1.5 miles of ocean water.
We've known about deep ocean vents for a while, but it's still hard to find them.
Scientists filmed wild animals in the deep sea in 2023, including a sprawling octopus colony, a fish swimming at 27,000 feet down, and a colossal phantom jellyfish.
Deep sea researchers have caught on film a monstrous deep sea creature that has 10-meter-long arms and is located in the depths of the 'midnight zone'.
Meet the giant phantom jelly, an elusive ocean dweller with arms that can reach 33 feet in length. But don't worry, it's not interested in humans.
