I discovered … new life on the bottom of the Southern Ocean

Most tourists probably don't know anything about the crazy, wacky communities on the sea floor. It's an explosion of colour, it really looks like an art gallery down there

Everything down on the seafloor is amazing to me. When you think of Antarctica, you think of penguins, whales, sea and ice in a stark landscape. I love the charismatic megafauna but there are so many other interesting things in Antarctica - life on the seafloor rivals that of the Great Barrier Reef.

The view above the surface is quite monochrome but underneath the organisms are oranges, yellows, pinks - there is a coral that is psychedelic purple! Most tourists that go to Antarctica probably don't know anything about the crazy, wacky communities on the sea floor - all of that intrigues me. It's an explosion of colour, it really looks like an art gallery down there.
