A photographer Norbert Wu explored the creatures under the Antarctic and captured the picture. I think that it is rather cold if you are actually there, but you can cool down in the blue-tinted world just by looking at it.

Details are as below.
Mother and Child
Parents of Weddell Seal.


Life Abounds
Creatures nourishing seal discharges.


Sleek Swimmers
A group of emperor penguins proceeding underwater.


Ghost of the Sea
Hachikurase with a tentacle of 9 m or more in length.


Fast Ice
Ice that lasts many miles.


Do not Touch
Helmet jelly I could find a lot in the deep sea.


Room with a View
Colorful sea urchins and starfish.


Free Passage
A killer whale moves at high speed between ice.


Here are a few more photos from below.
