Wanna getaway? Consider lobstering.

This gathering of clawed lobsters belongs to the family Nephropidae, and we suspect they are Thymops birsteini, or Patagonian lobsterette crustaceans found on the continental shelf around South America, particularly in the Argentine Sea.

Pyrosome

• It has a long, tube-like shape and looks like a glowing pink or white sea creature.

• It’s not a single animal, but a colony made up of thousands of tiny zooids (small plankton-like creatures) living together.

• Pyrosomes can produce their own light — they are bioluminescent, glowing beautifully in the dark ocean.


They live in warm and deep ocean waters.

A full-grown pyrosome can reach over 10 meters long and can light up the water around it at night

It swam straight up to our boat like it knew we were there to help.

God knows how long it hadn’t eaten.

It was a very tangible reminder of how important it is to educate ourselves, clean up our beaches and work to ensure plastic and things like this are not in our oceans. There is so much plastic and other waste, I can’t imagine what animals go through.

Keep watching until the end of the video - you’ll see the seals cuddling and comforting each other too after happily bounding into the ocean - free from the net!

Galaxies in Her Eyes

There’s much to be said about this season’s encounters and swimming with whales in general. Over the years, I’ve noticed that many people come wanting to be seen with the whales, rather than truly see them.

Our goal should always be to respect these animals and their space, observing their behavior without disturbing it. Whales are here to rest, mate, give birth, and nourish their young. Chasing after them only drains the energy they need during their 6-8 month fast.

Swimming with these majestic beings is a privilege, and respecting their space is crucial—there’s no need to chase after or force interactions. On rare occasions, whales may choose to interact on their own terms.

This moment of eye contact was beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve never encountered a whale like this one, and it was the most profoundly beautiful experience of my life.

The is an atoll-based country of over 1,200 islands surrounded by 2.13 million square kilometers of ocean, the vast majority of which has never been mapped or surveyed. Despite data gaps, it’s known that the of Aolepān Aorōkin Ṃajeḷ hosts rich and diverse marine resources, including over 300 unexplored seamounts with extensive deep-sea ridges and escarpments. Revisit some of our favorite sightings from the NA174 expedition in the photo album on NautilusLive.
