There was a greater goal to Dr. Copley an company’s efforts that went beyond a stunning sightseeing adventure, however. While they came face to face with all manner of weird and wonderful sea creatures in a pioneering marine biology expedition, they wanted to learn some crucial coping mechanisms from them. Just how life manages to thrive in such crushing conditions beneath the Antarctic Ocean could easily inspire new developments in the team’s conservation strategies across the South pole.

In an interview with the BBC, Dr. Copley spoke of how, “On these dives, we watched the everyday lives of Antarctic deep-sea animals, helping us to understand them much better than studying specimens collected by nets or trawls from ships. And [it’s] helping us to investigate how our own lives are connected to this remote yet fragile environment.” This is certainly a delicate ecosystem, and the last thing that Dr. Copley wanted to do was disrupt its sensitive flow.
