The current issue of ‘stern‘ is featuring my pictures of deep-sea animals I took during a 74-day research cruise in the Atlantic. I joined the team on board the RV Sonne to photograph the diversity of creatures found in the deep sea in the Benguela upwelling region off the coast of South Africa and Namibia. It’s a great privilege to be able to share the beauty of these rarely-seen animals with the world. The feature includes 11 pages of pictures and a short article about my work on board.
Thanks to Tim Rixen from Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), the chief scientist of cruise SO285, for bringing me along and to the scientists on board for graciously letting me borrow their precious specimens.
