Scientists have identified 57 previously unknown species during an expedition in a deep-sea canyon near Argentina, adding to knowledge of life in one of the ocean's least explored environments. The discoveries include creatures adapted to extreme depth and pressure. The finding is drawing attention because it highlights how much undocumented biodiversity remains in deep-sea ecosystems.

Why now: New discoveries of dozens of unknown species are rare and highlight how little is known about deep-sea life.
