Two whale blowers were recorded starting a spectacular deep dive over the Ikaria Trench, according to the environmental organisation Archipelagos.

The incident was recorded by the scientific crew of the “Tritonas” vessel, as part of its research on marine mammals in the Aegean.

Blowfish (Physeter macrocephalus) are the largest species of toothed octopus on the planet, reaching 16 to 18 meters in length and 50 tons in weight.
They range from 16 to 16 to 16 meters in size and weigh up to 50 to 50 tonnes in weight.

This deep and steep underwater canyon, which reaches 1,400 metres in depth, supports one of the most important areas of biodiversity in the Mediterranean and, among many other important species, the seven species of marine mammals that have been recorded for more than 25 years in the region. Very soon, we will share with you the important results of this persistent research in this difficult but unique sea.

“Very soon we will share with you the important results of this persistent research in this difficult but unique sea,” the Archipelagos scientists say.
