In fact, this connection between marine extremophiles and extraterrestrial habitats has been made more explicit in recent years, as discoveries are made about ocean worlds like Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa, which might contain similar environments to those in the deep sea.

In light of our evolutionary background, which features bold tetrapods crawling from ancestral oceans to seed new lineages on land, it's not too much of a stretch to picture our distant descendants inhabiting very different forms, perhaps even bodies adapted to the deep sea.

"They sacrificed their lives in order to to fulfill their task: They destroyed the fire's source, rescued their comrades and the deep-sea vessel," Mr. Shoigu said in a statement broadcast by Russian TV. Mr. Putin ordered high military honors for the dead officers.

The deep-sea cameras that luckily caught this perplexing creature are recording important data for commercial fishing and marine conservation, all of which is sent to the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), the international body in charge of managing the Southern Ocean.

The new RAD sampler (RAD stands for rotary-actuated device) is an origami-style robotic claw-like machine that can track down the deep-sea creatures and close around them to create something like a globe that fully encapsulates and then releases the creature without harm.

This would be the second time Inpex, Japan's biggest energy developer and Shell, the world's top LNG trader, have proposed an increase in output from the deep sea field in eastern Indonesia that was initially expected to produce 2.5 million tonnes per year (mtpa) of LNG.

Well, they can if they're nearby and can catch an earful of your terrified gurgling, but also, I wouldn't recommend screaming, because you'll need that oxygen, because you're about to walk across the deep sea floor and try not to get eaten by a mysterious monster.

"Whether or not deep sea mining can make a difference, the perceived pressures on resources are already causing a gold rush mentality on the deep sea right now," said Mark Hannington, geologist at the University of Ottawa in Canada and the GEOMAR-Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Germany.

And, while not pharmaceuticals, another group recently discovered a new DNA-building enzyme in a virus found on a vent and reported it in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last month, highlighting just how little we understand about the biochemistry taking place in the deep sea.

"A lot of people are quite shocked to find out about deep sea mining," said Helen Rosenbaum of the Deep Sea Mining Campaign, a coalition of anti-mining NGOs from the South Pacific, Australia and Canada, noting that oceans are already under threat from pollution, overfishing and climate change.

China has been pushing for preferential access to the deep sea port of Kyauk Pyu on the Bay of Bengal, an entry point for a Chinese oil and gas pipeline that gives it an alternative route for energy imports from the Middle East that avoids the Malacca Strait, a shipping chokepoint.

What they're saying: Kyle S. Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and a study co-author, tells Axios the study contains many concerning findings, but he is optimistic since much of the plastic in the deep sea can be reduced by phasing out single-use plastics on land.

"We don't know when this cruise will be rescheduled," said Roxanne Beinart, an assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island leading the deep sea campaign, noting that it took several years for her team to secure both the vessel and underwater robots needed to carry out their planned field work.

"The significant amounts of carbon these organisms produce daily provide an important source of food and energy for other organisms in the deep sea, where there's generally a lot less carbon available," said Stefan Sievert, a microbiologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and senior author of a 2018 study of the microbes.

The deep-sea plains which host nodule fields tend not to be home to big animals, said Dr Beaulieu, but the sediments the nodules are found in play host to microscopic critters that would be most upset by the process of trawling that is needed to bring the nodules to the surface.

What we do know as that unlike the cold, dead Red Planet next door, the deep sea, which extends from roughly 200 meters down the continental slope to 11,000 meters at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, is teeming with bizarre forms of life that challenge our understanding of biology and evolution.

A Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center retrospective celebrates the near-nonagenarian George Crumb (April 14 and April 16); highlights include the Vietnam War-torn string quartet "Black Angels" and "Vox Balaenae," in which masked musicians use electric piano, flute, and cello to evoke the deep sea and the ancient lineage of whales.

But the deep sea proves just as inescapable and anxiety-inducing as deep space, as the player struggles with the psychological horror of a science facility overrun by unpredictable sentient AI. Like The Company from the original Alien, the real enemy in SOMA is a morally questionable industrial future where we've lost sight of the value of human life.

Season after season of 18-point losses to the Indiana Pacers—the Nets teams of my youth played against, and reliably lost to, the Pacers an astonishing 51 times per season—unfolded in a concrete arena that was filled with either the taunting cheers of visiting fans or the deep-sea rustle of fans muttering to themselves or calling for a beer.

Although some proponents of deep sea mining argue that the effects of this industry can be offset by taking more environmentally friendly measures elsewhere, such as building artificial reefs, the authors of the letter are calling BS. "The argument that you can compensate for the loss of biological diversity in the deep sea with gains in diversity elsewhere is so ambiguous as to be scientifically meaningless," Craig Smith, a professor of oceanography at the University of Hawaii, said in a statement.
