What is down there

Here is an example of the seafloor from station 40, around 480 m deep, of the 2007 Chatham/Challenger expedition on the southwestern flank of the Chatham Rise. In high-resolution you can see a few little critters on and in the soft sediment, such as the cup corals and the starfish. [Photos: DTIS/ Oceans Survey 20/20 Chatham-Challenger expedition]
