Dozens of deep-sea species discovered off the coast of Chile

 

An international team of researchers, co-led by Ariadna Mechó from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), has recently made an exciting discovery off the coast of Chile. During an expedition to the Salas y Gómez Ridge – a less explored stretch of underwater mountains extending from Chile to Rapa Nui – the experts observed 160 deep-sea species that were not known to inhabit the region.  Among the deep-sea species that were spotted, the researchers suspect that at least 50 might be entirely new to science.
