10 incredible photographs of deep sea creatures
If you ever venture to the depths of the ocean you’ll find a range of bizarre, almost alien-like creatures that are equal parts captivating and terrifying.
Scroll through the gallery above to see some of these creatures.
And while we’re happy sticking to the shallows for the time being, countless explorers have ventured to the depths to capture fascinating images of these ocean creatures.
From see-through sea cucumber to light-studded angler fish, comb jellyfish, giant isopods and bloated blowfish, these creatures will capture your imagination.
Some of these incredible creatures live up to two kilometres beneath the ocean’s surface, withstanding more than 150 atmospheres. That’s a pressure that’s equivalent to 150 times that experienced when you’re at sea level.
