South Sandwich Trench: Deep‑sea coral gardens, scale worms, zombie worms.
ROV glides + macro bristles + trench map → proof these polar depths teem with life worth protecting.

We jump every 2.5s between coral gardens near the South Sandwich Islands, iridescent scale worms, black corals, and Osedax “zombie worms” on whale bones—plus a map glimpse of the trench these teams are still mapping. The latest expeditions found new vents and suspected species, showing how alive this sub‑zero hadal world is. Which discovery should we unpack next in long‑form?
