Krill The Crustacean
Marine snow is not the only source of food in the depths of the icy Antarctic. Krill are tiny crustaceans that can be seen in oceans all over the world, and their faeces play an important role in the overall balancing of local ecosystems. The excrement turns the seafloor into a muddy habitat where life can flourish. Often, this life includes some of the most bizarre-looking creatures to have crossed paths with humans.

The Antarctic Sunstar
While it might have a beautiful name, the Antarctic Sunstar is one of these peculiar creatures that are little known around the world. After discovering some of the species on this expedition, researchers decided to call it the “Death Star”, mostly because it is a more violent version of its more famous cousin, the starfish. Who would have thought that there would be different variants of starfish out in the world after all?
