Scientists discover 30 new species in Galapagos depths:

An international team of marine scientists have discovered 30 new species of invertebrates in deep water surrounding the Galapagos, the Ecuadoran archipelago's national park authorities announced Monday.

[...] Scientists from the CDF [Charles Darwin Foundation], in collaboration with the National Park Directorate and the Ocean Exploration Trust, probed deep-sea ecosystems at depths of up to 3,400 meters using state-of-the-art Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs).

The two ROVs, Argus and Hercules, were operated from the 64-meter exploration vessel Nautilus, which carried out the deep-sea probe in 2015.

How many more undiscovered species wait in the deep?

    Nautilus, with live streaming, from 5 years ago? Why does not this have "Breaking Nudibranches" tag?
