Cameras on MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have recorded thousands of hours of video helping our research team piece together the mysteries of Earth’s largest, but least explored, living space. Now, a collaboration between MBARI and DeepSea Power & Light has provided the tools to capture ultra high-definition resolution 4K video thousands of meters below the ocean’s surface.

Bubblegum coral, Paragorgia arborea, with crinoids (1,084 meters/3,556 feet)
Grooved Tanner crab, Chionoecetes tanneri, with blacktail snailfish, Careproctus melanurus, and mushroom soft coral, Heteropolypus ritteri (1,072 meters/3,517 feet)
