For months, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have been on an excursion of uncovering some of the deepest secrets of the Gulf of Mexico. Spectacular as it gets, these scientists captured the most striking sea creatures in Gulf of Mexico during this period and they are beyond your greatest imagination.
Aboard the converted US Navy ship of Okeanos Explorer, a team of NOAA went on to conduct a study of the ocean depths of Gulf of Mexico last December. Continuing the project for over three months and with the help of submersibles controlled by remote, this group of scientists not only mapped the seafloor but also got up and close with deep-water sea creatures in Gulf of Mexico that make life underwater look nothing less than a breathtaking alien world. Take a look!
