The same can be said about “Frosty the
Snailfish,” who withered when dragged from
the chilly depths of the Atacama Trench
to the sunny surface of
South America’s coast. His transparent
gelatinous body simply couldn’t
withstand the extreme changes
in temperature and pressure.
All in the
name of science! Marine biologists
were delighted to discover this heretofore
hidden species “feeding and floating
about 7,500 m (24,000 ft) below the
surface.” Since fishing lines only go so
far, researchers used HD cameras and
traps to capture these snailfish and their ghostly
images.
