Scientists Just Filmed an Arctic Squid Carrying Eggs in a Place It Had Never Been Seen Before

Researchers have filmed an Arctic bobtail squid in the waters of Northeast Greenland National Park for the first time, recording the elusive animal carrying an egg sac. Northeast Greenland National Park is the largest national park on Earth, yet its marine ecosystems remain largely unexplored, making every documented species an important piece of the puzzle.

Studying marine life in remote Arctic waters is never easy, which is why observations like this carry so much scientific value.
