The scene as described by National Geographic Explorer, Enric Sala, who was also leading this Pristine Seas expedition aboard our ship Plan b.
"Last week we dived at a magical place on the Cape Horn archipelago. Because there had been virtually no surveys on this remote area, we picked our diving spots haphazardly. Last week we couldn't have been luckier. We came upon a giant aggregation of the fake king crab Paralomis granulosa. They were in the ground, on top of each other, climbing on the kelp, parachuting from the canopy...like a scene taken off a sci-fi movie."
