Not only could it tell us more about the evolution of a mysterious deep-sea denizen, but it’s a prime site for discovering brand new species, too. - Produced by Shamini Bundell & @Maren Hunsberger - Presented by Shamini Bundell - Research footage from Xiaotong Peng and team - Seafloor bathymetry visualizations copyright Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia) 2026 - Stock footage: Getty Images / Moorea Ocean Adventures / barnburna - Stock music: Triple Scoop / Cinema Life / Ryan Matthews From Peng, X., et al.

not to sound like a smart arse, but between the billions of years we have had oceans, that hole being one of the deepest in the ocean, currents & the physics based rule that wherever a lowest point resides, things will inevitably father there - I am not quite sure how it's considered a mystery

A guy I went to uni with is an engineer for a real (not carbon fibre) submersible company and holds the record for the deepest sub dive by an Australian which is almost the deepest point on Earth.

Could it be linked to a migration? If a route were above it might explain why there are so many?

have the scientists heard about gravity? it makes everything fall to the lowest point possible.

How do fossils form on the sea floor? It was my understanding they formed when bones were buried and the organic compounds were replaced by minerals. How does this happen if they're just sitting on the sea floor?
