Rare Footage Of A Sea Angel Swimming Under The Ice Captured

There are two vastly unexplored areas of the universe. One is of course the deep space which is impossible to be explored completely. However, the second frontier of discovery lies right here on Earth and it’s the deep ocean. Even though many explorers have gone in the deep ocean many times, it’s still one of the most unexplored places for humans.

During an expedition dive in last February, Alex encountered one sea angel, known as Clione Limacina. The dive that he made was in the White Sea in the Russian Arctic. The Clione Limacina are small sea slugs that live in polar and tropical seas. These creatures are almost entirely transparent and gelatinous. They have wing-like appendages and coral-pink and yellow glowing internal structure. They got their name from the shape which resembles a snow angel.
