A team of scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery, capturing footage of the deepest fish ever recorded. The incredible creature was filmed at an astonishing depth of over 27,000 feet in the trenches off Japan as part of an expedition.
The film, which is currently available on CNN's website and YouTube channel, shows the snailfish swimming through the dark waters, its movements eerily slow due to the crushing pressure at such extreme depths.
Despite the daunting conditions, scientists were able to capture footage of this mysterious fish using specialized equipment designed for such expeditions.
To put the incredible depth into perspective, it's worth noting that humans are not adapted to live in these conditions and can only survive for a short time before succumbing to the pressure.
