Gonatus antarcticus squid, an elusive squid found only in the frigid waters around Antarctica , was discovered on Christmas Day by the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel, the R/V Falkor.

Spotted at a depth of approximately 2,152 meters in the Weddell Sea , researchers have not been able to confirm the squid's sex from the footage, nor age, but the discovery is a reminder of how much more there is to learn about the relatively unexplored polar regions.
