NathanDeepest Dive Ever 
In a news report carried out by National Geographic Channel, there was a feature don about the experience of a diver that went deep down in the depths of Antarctica. Everything that he discovered to exist down there was something every marine biologist or scientist had ever dreamed of and more. At 30-50 feet the diver found forest kelp, also some giant sea stars and sea spiders.
Marine Life
Diving deep under at 165 feet, the darkness increases and the seafloor is filled with feather hydroids and thousands of scallops. The scallops present here are reportedly 40 years or older. At about 230 feet under, gorgonian sea fans, shellfish, soft corals, sponges were also found. There were several more strange inhabitants in this ecosystem creating even more mystery…
All Saline
As the diver went even further down on the drifted zone, the biodiversity lessens because the shallow water shows less stable climates. The drifted icebergs and sea ice scours would occasionally freeze up taking away the freshwater. After melting they then return to the sea so therefore they create a lot of changes in the salinity of the Antarctic water.
The Winter Blues
As each year passes, the temperature in the sea gets colder than the one before. The ice that drifts apart them merge together once again to cover up the open water surface. But still, the ice jails the algae forming the inner linings of the ice layer. These algae serve as food to phytoplanktons if the light is too limited for them to produce food.
The Spring Blooms
What you will read next is something that will blow you mind. When springtime comes, the ice melts giving the algae the chance to slip into deep waters soaking all the nutrients, sunshine and water that the sea has to offer. This is then transformed into phytoplankton. These are known to be a very distinct and exclusive algae species.
Rise In Population
The population in the sea would even reach explosive levels during this time of the year. Organisms such as krill, eat and feed on this phytoplankton algae and divide themselves instantly into thousands. Scientists have revealed that the total population of krill in the Antarctic surpasses the entire world’s human population. Amazing right?
