Even in the darkest depths, life finds a way! During a recent #Uruguaysub200 ROV dive, the team on R/V Falkor (too) located the destroyer ROU-01 Uruguay shipwreck, bustling with deep-sea life at 1,160 meters. Read more: https://t.co/WOhVYkvzIN

We love cephalopods, warts and all! 🐙 This is a Graneledone sp., a genus of warty octopuses in the family Octopodidae found throughout the global Ocean — filmed by ROV SuBastian pilots at 1603 m during #URUGUAYSUB200.

🔴AHORA | #URUGUAYSUB200 ⚓️ ¡El equipo científico encontró el naufragio del Destructor ROU “Uruguay” (DE-1)! En 1995, este buque fue hundido en una misión dispuesta por la Armada Nacional. 📽️ Prendé ya la transmisión en vivo de @SchmidtOcean: https://t.co/rfGZiktg0w

Amboy’s own Alvin Cailan just dropped a “Touchdown Chicken Dip” that goes crazy on a Wheat Thin. Pull up to Family Style Food Fest LA on 9/13 to try this and four more custom recipes. Sponsored by @WheatThins

🦀 ROV pilots filmed this Crab Hatter tea party at 140 m, during #UruguaySUB200. The science team is undertaking the first effort to systematically collect samples and footage from the seafloor off Uruguay’s coast. Video: ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

#SciArtFriday ~"This is an emotional journey, for it brings together my two passions: art & marine biology,” said 2025 #ArtistAtSea Pablo Penchaszadeh. For him, being on Falkor (too) was a dream. #TaludContinental_IV 📷 Misha Vallejo Prut / Schmidt Ocean Institute

"Now the sea is in me: I am the fish, the fish glitters in me; we are risen, tangled together, certain to fall back to the sea.” - fr Mary Oliver’s, “The Fish.” ROV pilots filmed this amazing fish more than 2400m deep in #MarDelPlataCanyon #TaludContinental_IV

New species alert! Galathea tukitukimea sp. nov. is described from the seamounts near Rapa Nui during the #SalasyGomezRidge expedition, representing the first record of the genus for this region of the Pacific Ocean. Read the full paper here:

Flying into the weekend! They are, in fact, swimming, but it looks as if they are flying in the most fabulous way. This squat lobster stuck the landing on the south wall of the #MarDelPlataCanyon during a recent ROV dive, part of the #TaludContinental_IV expedition in Argentina.

The recent Schmidt Ocean Institute #TaludContinental_IV expedition in the #MarDelPlataCanyon may have concluded, but the excitement and engagement linger on. Check out our latest story:

¡La famosa batata! During #TaludContinental_IV, the science team nicknamed sea cucumbers batata, which means sweet potato in Spanish. While we have no authority to change animal names, we believe batata is an excellent upgrade for the oh-so-important but humble sea cucumber. 🇦🇷

Player props are live in all 50 states. Only on Kalshi.

When Chief Sci Daniel Lauretta & #TaludContinental_IV team encountered a seafloor blooming w/these animals, he nicknamed it: beet field. While rich in color, they're not related to ruby red root vegetables & likely a type of Anthomastus, a genus of soft corals.

Octopus locomotion 🐙 We believe this warty deep-sea octopus to be in the Graneledone genus of octopuses, and ROV pilots collected this footage in the #MarDelPlataCanyon in Argentina, where researchers are exploring & documenting biodiversity.

An international team of scientists is documenting biodiversity and directly observing how currents support the #MarDelPlataCanyon ecosystem. #TaludContinental_IV Learn more via our latest expedition in Argentina! https://t.co/Ak5jU76vQT

This gathering belongs to the family Nephropidae. We suspect they are Thymops birsteini, or Patagonian lobsterette — crustaceans found on the continental shelf around S. America, particularly the Argentine Sea. #MarDelPlataCanyon #TaludContinental_IV

ROV pilots filmed these sea spiders in #MarDelPlataCanyon during #TaludContinental_IV expedition in Argentina, where Argentine people are teaching us all how to experience the wonder of all deep-sea animals, many-legged and otherwise. 🇦🇷

MAJOR ENDORSEMENT! Barack Obama (My friend Reggie Brown) — the best Obama impersonator in America — just endorsed my campaign for U.S. Congress. If Reggie says “Yes We Can,” you'd better believe it! 🇺🇸 Donate below to make sure we flip this critical swing district in 2026!

Species Update: This may be a type of Chiroteuthis squid, spotted during the #MarDelPlataCanyon expedition in Argentina, where an international science team is exploring the diversity and distribution of seafloor communities in one of the country’s largest deep-sea canyons.

🦑 Squid squad alert! Possible whiplash squid fr the family Mastigoteuthidae. Filmed in #MarDelPlataCanyon in Argentina, where an international science team is exploring the diversity & distribution of seafloor communities in one of the country’s largest deep-sea canyons. 🇦🇷

Siphonophore, a colonial organism that lives in the open Ocean, filmed during the #TaludContiential_IV expedition. Thanks to all for enthusiastically watching this Argentine exploration — we're happy you've joined us! 🇦🇷
