Can you see frogfish ?

It was a very tangible reminder of how important it is to educate ourselves, clean up our beaches and work to ensure plastic and things like this are not in our oceans. There is so much plastic and other waste, I can’t imagine what animals go through.

Keep watching until the end of the video - you’ll see the seals cuddling and comforting each other too after happily bounding into the ocean - free from the net!

Galaxies in Her Eyes

There’s much to be said about this season’s encounters and swimming with whales in general. Over the years, I’ve noticed that many people come wanting to be seen with the whales, rather than truly see them.

Our goal should always be to respect these animals and their space, observing their behavior without disturbing it. Whales are here to rest, mate, give birth, and nourish their young. Chasing after them only drains the energy they need during their 6-8 month fast.

Swimming with these majestic beings is a privilege, and respecting their space is crucial—there’s no need to chase after or force interactions. On rare occasions, whales may choose to interact on their own terms.

This moment of eye contact was beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve never encountered a whale like this one, and it was the most profoundly beautiful experience of my life.

The is an atoll-based country of over 1,200 islands surrounded by 2.13 million square kilometers of ocean, the vast majority of which has never been mapped or surveyed. Despite data gaps, it’s known that the of Aolepān Aorōkin Ṃajeḷ hosts rich and diverse marine resources, including over 300 unexplored seamounts with extensive deep-sea ridges and escarpments. Revisit some of our favorite sightings from the NA174 expedition in the photo album on NautilusLive.

NOTHING beats glassy seas, blue water, and FRIENDLY WHALES 💧🤘🏻🐋

I hope that the world of whales will continue to be with ours.

Glaucus atlanticus, also known as the “Blue Dragon”, is a small but stunning species of sea slug that looks like a creature from another world. Though it only grows about 3–4 centimeters long, it’s considered a true “tiny but mighty” predator.

What makes it so fascinating is its ability to store and reuse the venom of the prey it consumes—such as the Portuguese Man o’ War. In fact, the Blue Dragon can concentrate this venom, making its sting even more powerful than the original source. For humans, a sting from this little creature can be extremely painful.

Its way of life is just as remarkable. The Blue Dragon floats upside down on the ocean’s surface: its bright blue belly faces upward, blending with the sea from above, while its silvery back faces downward, disguising it against the sunlight filtering into the water. Its wing-like appendages spread out like delicate branches, giving it the alien-like appearance of a UFO surfing the waves.

Another amazing fact is how closely its life is tied to ocean storms. After strong winds and waves, Blue Dragons often drift closer to shore, giving lucky beachgoers the rare chance to spot one.

🌊✨ Feather Star – The Living Star of the Ocean ✨🌊

Have you ever seen a sea creature that looks like a living star?
The Feather Star can live as deep as 9 kilometers below the ocean surface! 😲

With its dozens of delicate, feather-like arms, it drifts gracefully like a galaxy shining in the deep 🌌.
👉 Sometimes it swims by waving its arms, but most of the time, it clings to rocks or corals.

What’s fascinating is that:
🍴 It spends its days spreading those arms to catch drifting plankton.
👉 Not only beautiful, but also vital to the ocean’s food chain!

🔎 Truly mesmerizing! Do you think the Feather Star is more beautiful than the stars in the sky? 🌟🌊

🌊✨ Deep under the ocean, where sunlight never reaches, lives one of nature’s most mysterious survivors — the snailfish.
Soft-bodied, scaleless, and adapted to crushing pressures, these fish thrive in places humans can barely imagine — even 8,000 meters below the surface.

Recently, scientists discovered new species of snailfish, reminding us that our oceans still hold countless secrets waiting to be uncovered. 🐟💙

🔎 The deeper we look, the more we realize how little we know about life on Earth.
