There's a fascinating article about the bizarre creatures of the Antarctic Ocean. These include critters that look like glass tulips, and giant worms and sea spiders.

However, the discussion of gigantism makes me wonder if oceanographers and archaeologists don't talk to each other: gigantism is common in extremely cold climates because it conserves heat due to the mass:surface area ratio.
