More is known about the Moon than the deepest parts of the ocean. Until the late 1970s little was known about the possibility of life on the deep ocean floor but the discovery of thriving colonies of shrimp and other organisms around hydrothermal vents changed that. And every time scientist go there they find something new.
An expedition by a team of marine biologists to the Peru-Chile trench in the South East Pacific Ocean revealed a new species of snailfish living at 7,000m (4.3 miles), never before caught or captured on camera.
