Yeah I heard some clown on TV the other day claim that you can’t look at the ocean floor without seeing a beer can.

This is real enjoyable, win .. thanks for the link/bookmark.

My crack re curl ybulbs aside, the resolution is surprising good.
I'm guessing the whitish 'snow' is a normal type of rain of ocean detritus (dead plankton/fish crap/dust/etc) settling to the bottom.

They stopped once to look at a fish and some of the ‘snow’ was flitting about. At least some of them are creatures of some sort.

You can tell by the extent of the lava field now they are closing in on the Caldera.

As the ROV comes up over the rim it will interesting to see the species of life change from that of full depth.
