Rare squid captured on camera for first time ever
A rare deep-sea squid, Gonatus antarcticus, was filmed for the first time in its natural habitat. Researchers on an expedition in the Southern Ocean captured the footage on Christmas Day 2024 at a depth of 2,152 metres. It was shared by National Geographic on 10 June. The expedition was rerouted due to poor weather conditions and dangerous sea ice, leading to the sighting, according to scientist Manuel Novillo. Previously, the species was only known from remains found in fishing nets and marine animal stomachs. Watch the full video above.

Elusive Antarctic squid spotted alive in the wild for the first time, captured on video
Unprecedented footage of an elusive deep-sea creature came to light this week. On an expedition through the Southern Ocean last Christmas Day, researchers discovered the Gonatus antarcticus, a mysterious species of squid known to roam the freezing waters around Antarctica but never seen alive before in its natural habitat. The crew of Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel, the R/V Falkor (too), encountered the squid by happenstance, according to National Geographic, which led the expedition through its nonprofit, the National Geographic Society, and on Tuesday published photos and video of the historic find. The research vessel's remotely operated vehicle, called SuBastian, captured the footage that's also set to appear in an upcoming National Geographic documentary. Presented by National Geographic Society in partnership with Rolex. A National Geographic Society expedition spotted an Antarctic gonate squid alive for the first time—helping researchers form theories around this mysterious species. — National Geographic (@NatGeo) June 10, 2025 In the first look released this week, a three-foot-long multicolored squid shimmers in pitch-dark, appearing to glow as it floats. Crew members recalled to National Geographic a cloud of green ink ejected from the animal as the machine approached, suggesting it was startled. The creature was spotted about 7,000 feet below the surface of the Weddell Sea, a remote area near the Antarctic peninsula. Researchers have yet to confirm the squid's sex or age based on the footage. Before this encounter, evidence of the Antarctic gonate squid had come exclusively in the form of carcasses caught in fishing nets or in the stomachs of its predators, National Geographic said. This particular squid was determined to be "in good shape" outside of some scratches and sucker marks. Researchers discovered the Gonatus antarcticus, a mysterious species of squid. National Geographic The Antarctic gonate is among a group of large and elusive deep-sea squid species native to the Southern Ocean, which have for the most part evaded human contact. Another, the colossal squid, was filmed alive for the first time ever in March, during a different research expedition by the Schmidt Ocean Institute around the South Sandwich Islands.

Deep sea squid caught on camera for the first time in ‘history-making sighting'
An incredibly rare deep sea squid has been caught on camera for the first time. Researchers on an expedition in the Southern Ocean filmed the elusive three-foot creature on Christmas Day 2024 at a depth of 2152 metres. National Geographic shared footage of the 'history-making sighting' of the Gonatus antarcticus squid in the Weddell Sea on Tuesday (10 June). Manuel Novillo, a scientist onboard the research ship, said that the expedition was not meant to be in the area that day but poor weather conditions and dangerous sea ice caused them to reroute where they then spotted the creature. Prior to the sighting, the existence of the vibrantly-coloured species was only known thanks to its remains being found in fishing nets and the stomachs of marine animals.

Extraordinary Discovery: First-Ever Sighting of Live, Massive Antarctic Squid Caught on Camera
Striking Footage of the Elusive Squid, Gonatus Antarcticus, Seen Alive in the Wild for the First Time: HERE Surprise Discovery Documented Aboard Schmidt Ocean Institute Vessel During National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Ocean Expedition Reported Exclusively on HERE WASHINGTON, June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers on the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Expedition in the Southern Ocean have recorded a history-making sighting of a three-foot-long deep-sea squid species that has never before been seen alive. The Gonatus antarcticus squid, an elusive squid found only in the frigid waters around Antarctica, was discovered on Christmas Day by the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel, the R/V Falkor (too), in a surprise moment caught on camera via the research vessel's remotely operated vehicle (ROV), SuBastian. The footage, available HERE, will be broadcast in an upcoming National Geographic documentary. Prior to the astonishing discovery, the species was only known from carcasses in fishing nets or when the squids' beaks were found in the stomach of fished marine animals. Footage of the squid shows the animal with scratches on its arms and fresh-looking sucker marks on its mantle but otherwise shows it is in good shape. Spotted at a depth of approximately 2152 meters in the Weddell Sea, researchers have not been able to confirm the squid's sex from the footage, nor age, but the discovery is a reminder of how much more there is to learn about the relatively unexplored polar regions of our world's ocean. According to squid expert Dr. Kathrin Bolstad, who worked with marine biologist, ecophysiologist and expedition team member Manuel Novillo on the species identification, the large single central hook observed on each tentacle club clinched her confirmation that the squid was the elusive Gonatus antarcticus. The research team also mapped several previously unexplored sites throughout the Southern Ocean, including depths that reached 4000 meters, obtaining various samples of sediment, water and biota to study the health of various Southern Ocean habitats, including abyssal plains, hydrothermal vents, troughs, canyon walls and sea ice. This work was conducted aboard the 110-meter global ocean-class R/V Falkor (too) in collaboration with the Schmidt Ocean Institute, which provided National Geographic Explorers the opportunity to leverage its state-of-the-art tools and capabilities during its maiden voyage to the Southern Ocean. Part of the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Ocean Expedition, the mission was to provide a comprehensive scientific examination of the impact of climate and environmental change in and around the Weddell Sea, an area prioritized for marine protection and one of the few near-pristine ecosystems on the planet.
