For the last several years, marine photographer Alexander Semenov<\/a> (previously<\/a>) has lead the divers team at Moscow State University\u2019s White Sea Biological Station<\/a> located just south of the Artic Circle. Semenov directs scientific dives in extremely cold and harsh conditions to document sea creatures seldom seen anywhere else on Earth. From giant jellyfish to the tiniest of unknown sea worms, the photographer captures almost all of the creatures you see here out in the wild, without the convenience of a laboratory or studio.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s estimated<\/a> that nearly 80% of all aquatic life in the world\u2019s oceans has yet to be studied or even discovered. In response to this potentially vast world of unknown lifeforms, coupled with Semenov\u2019s unceasing interest in marine biology, an ambitious trek across the world\u2019s oceans has been planned for 2016. The Aquatilis Expedition<\/a> is a proposed journey that will take a\u00a0team<\/a> of divers, scientists, and videographers to locations around the globe for the purposes of identifying new species, an odyssey on par with the advertures of Jacques Cousteau.<\/p>\n

Many of Semenov\u2019s best photos are available as prints<\/a>, and he shares regular updates on both\u00a0Facebook<\/a> and Flickr<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
