From the crushing pressure of the Mariana Trench to the oxygen-rich polar seas, discover why creatures like the Bigfin Squid and Giant Isopods evolve into monstrous sizes to survive the eternal darkness. 📚 Expedition Logs Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer & E/V Nautilus Observation Methods: Deep-sea Hydrophones & ROV SuBastian Locations: Arctic Ocean (Polar Seas), Monterey Canyon, and Challenger Deep (Mariana Trench) Key Discovery: Biological evidence of extreme longevity and the "Oxygen Trap" theory causing gigantism.
