They identified species including deep-sea corals, glass sponges, sea urchins, amphipods, squat lobsters, and others off the coast of Chile. Using an underwater robot capable of reaching depths of just under three miles, researchers mapped tens of thousands of square miles of seafloor and discovered four previously unknown seamounts, or underwater mountains.
