New details are emerging about the life-forms that survive in one of the world's most inaccessible places.
Scientists have published descriptions of a range of jelly-like animals that inhabit the deep oceans of the Arctic.
The animals were originally filmed and photographed during a series of submersible dives in 2005.

The deep Arctic ocean is isolated from much of the water elsewhere on the globe.
