This image is the first detailed image of this species. It will be displayed at the Natural History Museum in London.

Photographer Laurent Balleste won the Wildlife Photographer of the Year award for capturing the slender, glassy tentacles of a sea anemone rising from beneath an Antarctic ice floe. This Edwardsiella andrillae is one of the most amazing creatures on the planet, according to The Guardian.

Unlike other sea anemones that live on the ocean floor, this newly discovered species lives by burrowing in the ice, although how it penetrates the ice, floats with its soft body or survives remains a mystery. mystery

“It is rare to have such a jewel box together, all from beneath the ice of Antarctica. The richness, diversity and technical excellence of this underwater portfolio is extraordinary,” said the jury.

Recall that earlier the organizers of the competition summarized the results of the 13th Greenwich Royal Observatory Award in England Astronomical Photographer of the Year 2021.
