Rare Octopod
While exploring an unnamed seamount during the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones: New England and Corner Rise Seamounts, we encountered this rare octopod (Inopinoteuthis magna, formerly Cirrothauma magna) at a depth of 2,484 meters (1.5 miles). Watch the video to see it in motion.   Visit How to Make Any Picture Your Computer or Phone's Wallpaper for instructions on how to make this wallpaper yours.   Other wallpaper images are available in the Multimedia Library (Media Type: Wallpaper).
