Link: Alaska Public Radio Network Scientists have finally published gorgeous photos of "ice jellies" and similar creatures taken deep in the Arctic Ocean's Canada Basin earlier this decade. Cameras on a remote-controlled dive craft captured at least one new species and several others that researchers didn't expect to find in the Arctic. A co-leader of the research expeditions, Kevin Raskoff of Monterey Peninsula College in California, tells APRN that scientists have had to alter their ideas about typical jellyfish habitat. See a series of the jellyfish photos at the BBC.
