These Creatures,

come from a part of our earth we know so little about,

found deep in the ocean depths an expedition by Alexander Semenov near Ponza Island unveiled an array of marine life off the western coast of Italy, 

these stills are from footage that is part of an ongoing documentary project for Aquatilis, 

what makes this so amazing is that we know so little of the oceans depths, as Paul Snelgrove, Oceanographer commented:

"We know more about the surface of the Moon and about Mars than we do about [the deep sea floor], despite the fact that we have yet to extract a gram of food, a breath of oxygen or a drop of water from those bodies."

the reason of course is cost, as Robert Ballard, Ocean Researcher noted:

"If you compare NASA's annual budget to explore the heavens, that one year budget would fund NOAA's budget to explore the oceans for 1,600 years."

NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

here is the amazing video the stills were taken from, you can see more from Semenov on his site, even today how little we know about our own planet.
