The depths of the oceans remain one of the few remaining parts of the world which are largely unexplored and which hold new and undiscovered life forms. David Shale and Solvin Zankl have joined expeditions to photograph deep sea creatures at a variety of depths in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Barents Sea. Using specialised equipment and techniques, they have captured unique images of many species of bizarre deep sea fish and invertebrates, including a number new to science. These species show special adaptations to life at depths where no light penetrates, including many examples of bioluminescence.
