Sea Monster Comes Alive!

Woah, this is equally cool and unnerving; last year a Japanese crew of scientists encountered a real, live giant squid at 900 metres depth off the coast of the Ogasawara Islands and today the images where published.

Ok, it doesn't look too intimidating in the pictures, but that thing is 8 metres long. Yikes.

Article (in English) here and pictures (Norwegian captions, sorry) here.

Freaky.
