The Antarctic seabed has been found "carpeted with life" by scientists exploring its hidden depths for the first time.
Incredible footage captured by a specialist submarine shows species of sponges, corals and sea squirts lining the seabed.
But the human's deep sea fishing could destroy this newly discovered aquatic jungle if we don't step up to protect it, scientists warned.
The expedition was led by the charity Greenpeace, which has used the findings to demand an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary to protect the wildlife.
