nautical history friends help
there’s a glass thing aboard wooden whaling ships where it’s like a little crystal they put in the ceiling to let light in belowdecks

New Year, New Creatures of the Deep 🌊
Stygiomedusa gigantea, the giant phantom jelly
Just look at her go, Stygiomedusa you gorgeous dramatic girl
Though spotting these ghostly giants is rare, they are known to live in the midnight (bathypelagic) zone. There is little to no shelter in this area and other fish have been observed taking refuge amid the jellies long voluminous ribbon like tentacles, that can get up to 33 feet long
Love to sea it 🌊
