Schmidt Ocean Institute's mission to the deep sea off the Chilean coast of Chile has spotted a curious, almost alien-looking marine worm.

The mission, dubbed Chile Margin 2024 , focuses on deep sea seeps, where decomposing creatures escape through the seafloor.

Polychaetes play a crucial role in structuring and oxygenating the sea floor, much like their earthworm cousins on land.
