We're off! Setting sail for Antarctica to chase some squids with the #ProjectESCA camera system and @deepseapod.com, thanks to @pureocean.bsky.social and Intrepid Travel. Bring me that horizon!

Ceph street art sighting! Spotted these arms on the side of a building in Ushuaia, Argentina, while out and about with @deepseapod.com as we prep to take #ProjectESCA to the Antarctic Peninsula next week

Close Inkounter! #ProjectESCA gets its next squiddy visitor, a glacial squid (P. glacialis) around 800m. It gifts us a few puffs of ink, then drifts back into the dark Antarctic #deepsea. #antarcticclimateconnections #PureOceanFund @schmidtocean.bsky.social @deepseapod.com

With our new deep-sea low-light camera on #ProjectESCA, we can see #bioluminescence as well as the animals illuminated by our lights. This might be a 'shrimp spew', a series of blobs of glowing mucous produced as a decoy to give the animal a chance to escape a perceived threat

A #bioluminescent #psudomorph captured by #ProjectESCA. Many animals use light to distract a predator. Some bind it in mucose to give it a shape. Like throwing your shadow so you can get away. #antarcticclimateconnections #PureOceanFund @schmidtocean.bsky.social @autsquidsquad.bsky.social

I hope our lure attracts squi... THUNK! #ProjectESCA works! Squid like the lure and a 360 camera means nowhere to hide. Likely a glacial or clubhook #squid, this is 200m in #Antarctica #AntarcticClimateConnections #SchmidtOcean #PureOceanFund #Te_Papa @autsquidsquad.bsky.social

Who wants to know what's inside the #ocean #sunfish? Marianne Nyegaard joined the #TePapa #fish team to dissect some of our specimens. They are just as strange on the inside as on the outside! #marinebiology #Mola #dissection #taxonomy #morphology www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crol...

#bioluminescent #fireworks #ProjectESCA is very light-sensitive, even detecting flashes from tiny organisms! Something crashes, letting out a bio-firework in surprise! #AntarcticClimateConnections #Challenger150 @autsquidsquad.bsky.social #PureOceanFund

A frenzy of activity as immaculate specimens arrive. The #crinoid is a filter feeding starfish relative. #AntarcticClimateConnections is sampling seabed previously covered in ice that has no associated data; biological, geological, oceanographic, mapping... nada! #Challenger150 #projectESCA

Gorgeous big Antarctic octo with @deepseapod.com narrating the #SchmidtOcean divestream. Megaleledone is the biggest octo in the region and this one may have been brooding! Stayed firmly put while they carefully sampled nearby.

#seals chilling on #icebergs in #Antarctica. I don't think I'm going to tyre of these views. Extremely lucky to be here. Tomorrow the work starts... #Challenger150 #AntarcticClimateConnections

How do you take a photo of a deep-sea squid? @autsquidsquad.bsky.social and @deepseapod.com think putting on the red light will help. They'll be testing their camera in Antarctica. Looking forward to seeing what they snap in the cold and deep. #AUTSquidSquad

Large, deep-sea squids tend to be camera shy so if we want to see them we have to get creative... so @deepseapod.com & I made A Thing and now we're off to Antarctica to see whether anyone comes to take a look! Huge thanks to @PureOceanFund for the support; stay tuned! #ProjectESCA

#ProjectESCA lives! @autsquidsquad.bsky.social and I developed this novel light lure with support from the #PureOceanFund. It uses illumination invisible to the animals, a 360-degree camera, and simulated #bioluminescence to attract #deepsea animals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8PU...

Another amazing day on the water yesterday testing #projectESCA with Otago Uni's MMRG, recording #SpermWhales. More #deepsea #whales so I'll allow it. Huge thanks to the wonderful team who took us along. Sorry I was sick all down your hull :-/

Amazing day on the water yesterday while @autsquidsquad.bsky.social and I were testing #projectESCA with Otago Uni's MMRG. #BeakedWhales right alongside! These #deepsea #whales are such a rare sight.
