Amazing deep sea photos

I usually post a video on Fridays but today I have chosen these stunning photos by Alexander Semenov published in Time magazine.

Semenov, a graduate of Moscow State University, is a zoologist who works at the White Sea Biological Station (WSBS) in northwestern Russia, a major base for marine science research and sustainable coastal management. “When I had the opportunity to go diving and see all these things with my own eyes, it was like a dream come true,” he told Time magazine. “This is another universe, very close to us.”

Dendronotus Frondosus is one of the most common nudibranch varieties. Its unusual appearance is caused by the tree-shaped skin growths covering its body.
