Live from the bottom of the ocean. Underwater robot draws in millions of people watching it live as it explores the bottom of the sea.

A robot is navigating the dark, cold depths of the South Atlantic seabed, streaming images of dazzling coral and previously unseen fish, while scientists provide live commentary on YouTube – and Argentines are captivated. It's the first time human eyes, albeit remotely, are witnessing this underwater oasis in real time, where the frigid, nutrient-rich Malvinas current meets the warm, salty waters of the Brazil Current.
