But here, no garlands: these animals produce their own light.

This ability is called bioluminescence.

🔦 A fascinating language used in the depths to communicate, protect themselves… or navigate in total darkness.

Did you think the deep sea was gloomy and dark?

Not at all. It’s a place of true fireworks. 🦑🎆

➡️ Like in this video, where Kat Bolstad and Tom Linley were lucky enough to observe a squid responding to bioluminescent signals, emitted to study it in a non-invasive way.

Thanks to your invaluable support, these two scientists are exploring the Antarctic abyss to reveal still-unknown species, using an innovative technique that allows them to observe without hunting or capturing.

✨ Your support helps research illuminate the most secret corners of the deep sea.

Thank you to everyone who makes this exploration possible.
