Seafloor Community
Images from the remotely operated vehicle (ROV), streamed live to the ship and shore-side Exploration Command Centers, are viewed by scientists with the expertise to identify seafloor life and habitats. The ROV has captured many never-before-seen areas of the seafloor, including images of previously unknown species. This is one of several photos revealing the dense community of life at “Site K.” It is possible new species were imaged at this site.
