See the world’s deepest fish | CNN

Deep in the dark, icy waters of Japan's trenches, a team of scientists has made an extraordinary discovery - a fish unlike any other on record. Measuring over 8 inches in length, this snailfish species was captured at depths of more than 27,000 feet, making it the deepest fish ever recorded.

The remarkable finding was part of an expedition to explore the unique ecosystems found in the trenches off Japan. The discovery is a testament to the vast and largely unexplored world that lies beneath our oceans.

The team used advanced technology, including submersibles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), to capture footage of the elusive snailfish. The images show a fish with an unusual body shape, long fins, and large eyes, adapted to survive in extreme conditions.

This incredible discovery highlights the importance of continued exploration and research into our planet's most remote and hostile environments. It also serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring diversity of life on Earth and the many secrets that still await us in the depths of our oceans.

The footage of this extraordinary creature is available to watch, providing an unforgettable glimpse into the unknown world of deep-sea fish.
 
I'm low-key obsessed with this discovery 🤯! Like, can you even imagine what else is down there? The thought that we're still discovering new species and ecosystems like this one is mind-blowing. I mean, 27,000 feet is INSANE, you know?! And that body shape on the snailfish? Absolutely gnarly 🤷‍♂️. It's crazy to think about how adapted it must be to survive in those extreme conditions. Anyway, gotta give major props to the team for braving the deep and getting this footage - totally worth it!
 
OMG u guyz!!! 🤯 this snailfish tho... 27k ft is CRAZY lol how did they even catch that on camera? i'm low-key jelly rn 💦 but like seriously, its mind blown that we dont no more about this deep sea world 😮. i mean we still got so much to explore & discover 🌊 its like, our oceans r like, the last frontier of weirdness 😂 & im here for it!!! 🤪
 
I'm literally speechless 🤯🌊 about this crazy deep-sea snailfish discovery! 27k feet is mind-bogglingly deep 🤯 and the fact that they've got these super long fins and huge eyes to navigate that darkness? Genius 💡 It's like something straight out of a sci-fi movie 🚀. The more we explore our oceans, the more I realize how little we know about this planet 🌎. Can't wait for more discoveries like this! #DeepSeaExploration #SnailfishDiscovery #OceanMystery #WildlifeWonders
 
omg I'm literally speechless about this discovery 😍🐟! 27,000 ft is insane and can you even imagine living that deep? it's like something out of a sci-fi movie 🚀. the fact that scientists had to use submersibles and ROVs just to find it shows how much we still have to learn about our oceans. I'm totally hyped to see more footage of this incredible creature, it's giving me life! 🌊💦
 
I'm literally hyped about this discovery 🤯! Can you even imagine what other crazy creatures are hiding down there at that depth? The tech we're using to explore these depths is insane, like ROVs and submersibles - it's like something out of a sci-fi movie 🚀. And the fact that we still have so much to learn about our oceans is just mind-blowing 🌊. I'm all for more funding for research and exploration, let's keep pushing those boundaries 🚀💻!
 
omg i just saw the most adorable cat video online yesterday 🐈😂 it was this little grey kitty doing flips on a trampoline and i swear it looked like a tiny astronaut flying through space 👽💫 anyway back to these fish... 27k ft is crazy, can you even imagine living that deep? my friend's cousin went scuba diving in the philippines last year and said the pressure was so intense he thought his ears would pop 😂 anyway i'm just glad they're exploring those trenches because who knows what other secrets are hiding down there 🤔🌊
 
OMG 🤯, can u believe this?! They found a fish living at 27k feet underwater! I mean, that's like, crazy depths! 🌊 Those scientists must've been super brave to dive that far down and capture it on camera 😱. And the body shape of this snailfish is just wild - like nothing I've ever seen before! 🐟 Its eyes are huge too, wonder what they're looking for in that dark environment...? Anyway, glad these scientists are exploring our oceans and discovering new species, we still have so much to learn about our planet 🌎
 
😍 I'm loving this discovery! I mean, can you even imagine being one of those scientists down there? 🤯 The thought of these creatures living in such extreme conditions is just mind-blowing. And the fact that we've only scratched the surface of exploring our oceans is crazy to think about. There's still so much we don't know about our own planet and I'm sure there are even more secrets waiting to be uncovered. This discovery is like a reminder to keep pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible. Plus, have you seen those pics? That fish is straight out of a sci-fi movie! 👽
 
🌊 I mean, think about it, a fish that can survive at 27,000 feet below the ocean's surface... it's like we're just starting to scratch the surface (pun intended) of what our planet is capable of. It makes me realize how tiny and insignificant we feel when compared to nature's majesty. We need more expeditions like this one to remind us that there's still so much we don't know about our world, and that's what makes it all so fascinating! 🌴
 
Yooo, I gotta say, 27k feet is INSANE! Like, who knew there were even fish down that deep? 🤯 This snailfish species is def one of a kind and it's crazy how adapted it is to survive in those conditions. The fact that it has long fins and huge eyes makes me think it's like something outta a sci-fi movie 🚀

But, I gotta wonder, what else are we missing? There's still so much to explore and learn about our oceans, and this discovery just highlights how little we really know. It's wild to think that there might be other creatures down there waiting to be discovered 🌊
 
omg did u see that new vids of the 27kft snailfish?? its like something out of a sci-fi movie 🚀💦 mind blown!!! its so cool that these scientists were able to catch it on camera, like, we're still learning about our own planet and now theres this fish down in the dark depths... anyway i think its super inspiring to keep exploring and discovering new things about our world... we can learn so much from creatures like this 🐠💫
 
just think about it... 27k feet below sea level and we're still finding new species 🐟🌊 what's even more mind-blowing is that there's still so much left to explore and discover in our own planet 🤯 these discoveries remind me of how tiny we are compared to the vastness of nature 😮
 
You know what's wild? We're living at a time where we can literally explore the deepest parts of our planet and discover new life forms that've never been seen before 🤯. I mean, think about it, 27,000 feet underwater is like the most extreme environment on Earth... but this little guy is thriving down there? It's like our oceans are still full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled.

This discovery makes me think about how we should be approaching exploration and research in general - not just limited to space or other planets, but also right here on our own planet. I mean, what else are we gonna discover if we don't keep pushing the boundaries? It's a great reminder that there's still so much we don't know, and it's up to us to keep seeking out those answers.

And can we just appreciate how tiny this fish is in comparison to our problems on land? I mean, it's just a little guy trying to survive in one of the most hostile environments imaginable. It's a reminder that even in the darkest depths, there's still beauty and wonder waiting for us 💡
 
I'm totally fascinated by this discovery 🤯! Like, who knew there were so many more weird and wonderful creatures down there? This snailfish thingy has got me thinking about how our oceans are still full of secrets just waiting to be uncovered 🌊. It's like, we've been living on a planet that's 71% water and we're still learning half the stuff about it 😂. And can you imagine the tech they used to find this thing? Like, submersibles and ROVs? Mind. Blown. 💥
 
Can you believe it? 27,000 feet below the surface and we've got a new species to add to the list! Reminds me of that documentary from like, the early 2000s where they showed this anglerfish that lived in the Mariana Trench... didn't think I'd see the day when we'd have footage of something even more extreme living down there. 🐟😲

And can you imagine what other secrets are hiding down there? It's like, we've only just started to scratch the surface (no pun intended) and yet we're still finding new species that challenge our understanding of life on Earth. I mean, who needs space exploration when you've got an ocean full of mysteries waiting to be solved? 🌊💡
