This deep sea Comb Jelly (Beroe abyssicola) looks like something from another world. I think that the deep sea is one of my favorite biomes on Earth. Every time I see a creature from down below it shocks me – these things are just sooo bizarre! Not to mention it’s incredible that ANYTHING can survive the extreme cold and pressure under the sea like that.

Photographer Alexander Semenov captured some incredible photos of this rarely seen jelly. I love how you can see inside the creature as well as it’s gorgeous rainbow cilia (what it uses to move around with).
