Scientists exploring newly discovered deep-sea vents in the Antarctic have also discovered new species of hairy-chested yeti crabs (the "hair" being from bacteria), anemones, and predatory seven-armed sea stars. Many of these animals have never been seen before at hydrothermal vents explored in other oceans.

Back in 1986 a biologist named Cindy Lee Van Doverwas poking around the innards of shrimp from the bottom of the sea. They came from a hydrothermal vent in the Atlantic, where boiling, mineral-rich water came spewing up from cracks in the Earths crust and supported rich ecosystems of tube-worms,…
Although the earliest interest and sampling in the deep sea occurred in the late 1800's, a majority of deep-sea exploration did not occur until after the 1960's. The current amount of sampling and exploration of this great environment is without precedent. Despite this, new species and new…
Interesting title ... where was the video? In the vent?
Is that some sort of octopus there? How can it stand the pressure at that depth?
I don't think pressure is a problem for a creature with no trapped gasses and made of soft tissues as long as they don't rise too quickly. High temperatures, on the other hand, might be big issue. Too close to a hydrothermal vent and you have cooked calamari.
