The Alien Beauty Of Jellyfish In Alexander Semenov’s New Photos

Russian marine biologist and underwater photographer Alexander Semenov (previously here) is back with some new extraordinary photographs of the deep sea aliens. Alexander is currently leading a team of scientists on a three-year-long Aquatilis expedition to explore the deep waters around the world.

The aim of Aguatilis expedition is to reveal the hidden animal kingdom living miles under the surface. “You can’t actually study gelata in labs or in an aquarium, because their bodies can fall apart from a single human touch”, explains the team of Aquatilis. The team uses innovative equipment and even a robot in order to capture the jellyfish.

Be sure to follow the amazing journey of Aquatilis on their Facebook page.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then!
