Explorers share unseen pictures of terrifying sea creatures found 16,000 feet below the ocean

Far beyond the coast of Eastern Australia, lies the largest and deepest habitat on the planet simply known as “the abyss.” Stretching well beyond Australia’s waters and spanning nearly half of the world’s oceans, the abyssal zone remains largely unexplored.
