Monster worm and sea star frenzy
Deep under the Antarctic ice, a rare, colourful burst of starfish and 3m-long monster worms has been filmed by a BBC camera crew.
Filmed in time-lapse, the extraordinary swarm of deep-sea [well-lit? -eub] creatures gathers to feed in a frenzy on the body of a seal, which had sunk to the ocean floor.
