What lives deep in the Pacific ocean?

Scientists from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have been cruising the seas above the Marianas trench - it's the deepest underwater trench in the world. Their robot dived 6 kilometres down to stream live everything in its path. This way, the researchers discovered 'never before seen creatures' and gathered new data about life deep underwater.
