Giant squid on camera

Reported a few weeks back; the first pictures of a live giant squid, taken by Japanese scientists in the Pacific. An 8 metre long squid is a big-ass critter, and dead specimens up to 18 metres in length have been found.

It's incredible that despite how much of this planet we've charted, measured, studied and Google-mapped, the deepest recesses of our oceans are still unreachable, and we have absolutely no idea what's down there.
