The sea creatures, whose mantles are about the size of a grapefruit and have a purple hue to them, are populating in the thousands at the base of Davidson Seamount.
expeditions"center on scientific exploration of the seafloor, collaborating with the broader research community to identify priority regions and phenomena, and sharing our expeditions with explorers around the world via live telepresence."
"There are all these foothills on the side of the seamount," Devogelaere said."And then all of a sudden over this hill there's all of these round purple things." “The discovery of the octopus garden was really enabled by some of the deep-sea robotics that have come about in the last several decades," Barry said.
