“Stupendously rare footage of a bigfin squid, known for its alien-like appearance and unbelievably long tentacles, has been captured in the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean.The video was recently shot by scientists from Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre and Inkfish as part of the ongoing Tonga Trench Expedition 2024. From July until October 2024, the voyage will use submersibles and deep-sea landers to map, profile, and survey the Tonga Trench, the second-deepest oceanic trench in the world after the Mariana Trench.

Their new footage of the bigfin squid was filmed at a depth of 3,300 meters (10,827 feet) using a deep-sea lander armed with a camera and a piece of fish for bait.

It's the first time the squid has been seen in the Tonga Trench and the team considers themselves to be very lucky; fewer than 20 recorded sightings of the elusive creature have ever been made. “
