Another, the colossal squid, was filmed alive for the first time ever in March, during a different research expedition by the Schmidt Ocean Institute around the South Sandwich Islands.

A colossal squid has been caught on camera for the first time in the deep sea by an international team of researchers steering a remotely operated submersible.

The colossal squid, the world's largest squid species, was caught on video for the first time swimming in its natural habitat, according to California's Schmidt Ocean Institute.
