Scientists say that this is a zone in which there is always darkness. That means this is the dark world of the ocean in which light never goes out. The discovery of strange creatures has proved that the ocean is still hiding many things within itself, to which humans are still unable to reach. Issued by the University of Gothenburg press release According to , a 45-day research expedition was conducted in March in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, located between Mexico and Hawaii.
The British research vessel James Cook also had a scientist on board, Thomas Dahlgren, a marine ecologist who works at the University of Gothenburg. He is also associated with NORCE research institute. According to Thomas Dahlgren, this area is the least explored area of the Earth. This area was studied as part of the Abyssal Plains. The depth of the sea here ranges from 3500 to 5500 meters.
Scientists say that even though the ocean area covers more than half of the earth’s surface, humans still have very little information about the animals that grow inside them. Researcher Thomas Dahlgren believes that this expedition is similar to the one that was carried out earlier in the 18th century to find new species and ecosystems. This has proved to be very thrilling for them. The density of species in this area is very high which is very surprising. These creatures have molded themselves in such a way that it is difficult to believe in them.
Sea cucumbers are some of the largest creatures found in this expedition. They work like vacuum cleaners at the bottom of the sea. Their specialty is that they find such places where very few other creatures have passed through.
