Cruise line Viking explores scientific terrain

Cruise line Viking has published its first scientific paper following observations of a rare jellyfish: Stygiomedusa gigantea, known as the giant phantom jellyfish, has been encountered during submersible dives in the coastal waters of the Antarctic Peninsula in early 2022. Only 126 encounters with the giant phantom jellyfish have been recorded since the species was first described in 1910, despite its size of up to 30 feet (10 metres) in length.
