Scientists have identified 57 previously unknown marine species from specimens collected during Argentina's 2025 deep-sea expedition, which was followed live by more than four million people. The discoveries came from the Schmidt Ocean Institute's work exploring waters off Argentina, and the findings are drawing attention for both their scientific value and the expedition's unusually large public audience.
Why now: The announcement of 57 new species from a widely watched expedition is striking news in marine biology.
