🔍 Smart search across all Arche videos: https://t.me/arhe_search_bot The lecture took place at the Arche Popular Science Lecture Center (http://arhe.msk.ru/) on December 17, 2015. Many people think of the northern seas as lifeless deserts, where sad, frozen fish swim in dark, cold water, where there are no coral reefs or colorful crabs, and the seabed is covered in a smooth layer of silt. It seems that the most interesting things live in the tropics, in warm seas, and in distant corners of the planet. But let's dive deeper and see what's really there. Amazing pictures and colors await us there! While there's less species diversity, the total number of animals in cold seas is an order of magnitude higher than in warm seas, so every boulder and every piece of seabed here is home to dozens and hundreds of organisms. Studying these animals is difficult due to extreme conditions both above and below the surface. In this lecture, I will discuss modern methods of underwater photography and video observation in the north and the most interesting animals living beneath the thermocline, even at subzero temperatures. The lecturer will be Alexander Semenov, a marine biologist, renowned underwater photographer, science enthusiast, and organizer of the Aquatilis project (http://aquatilis.tv/). He is also the head of the diving team at the N.A. Pertsov White Sea Biological Station of Lomonosov Moscow State University and winner of the 2016 "For Loyalty to Science" award in the "Best Photographic Work on Science" category.
