First Look At the Animals of the New Hebrides Trench

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday March 2, 2014 @07:00PM from the under-the-sea dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Scientists have released pictures of the animals they've found in the New Hebrides Trench, more than 7,000m down. 'The team used an unmanned lander fitted with cameras to film the deep-sea creatures. The scientists said the ecology of this trench differed with other regions of the deep that had been studied. "We're starting to find out that what happens at one trench doesn't necessarily represent what happens in all the trenches," said Dr Alan Jamieson, from Oceanlab at the University of Aberdeen, UK, who carried out the expedition with the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in New Zealand.'"

The pressure inside equals the pressure outside (which is true for us also). They are not hollow glass spheres.
The pressure does change chemistry as reactions are affected by temperature and pressure.
