It&#8217;s a hunk of a shark. These things are tanks,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n<p>The camera operated by the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre, which investigates life in the deepest parts of the world&#8217;s oceans, was positioned off the South Shetland Islands near the Antarctic Peninsula. That&#8217;s well inside the boundaries of the Antarctic Ocean, also known as the Southern Ocean, which is defined as below the 60-degree south latitude line. <\/p>\n<p>The center on Wednesday gave The Associated Press permission to publish the images. <\/p>\n<p>The shark was 1,608 feet deep, where the water temperature was a near-freezing 34.29 degrees Fahrenheit. <\/p>\n<p>A skate appears in frame motionless on the seabed, seemingly unperturbed by the passing shark. The skate, a shark relative that looks like a stingray, was no surprise since scientists already knew their range extended that far south. <\/p>\n<p>Jamieson, the founding director of the University of Western Australia-based research center, said he couldn&#8217;t find any record of another shark found in the Antarctic Ocean. <\/p>\n<p>Peter Kyne, a Charles Darwin University conservation biologist independent of the research center, agreed that a shark had never before been recorded so far south. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Climate change and warming oceans<\/a><\/span> could potentially be driving sharks to the Southern Hemisphere&#8217;s colder waters, but there was limited data on range changes near Antarctica because of the region&#8217;s remoteness, Kyne said. <\/p>\n<p>The slow-moving sleeper sharks could have long been in Antarctica without anyone noticing, he said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is great. The shark was in the right place, the camera was in the right place and they got this great footage,&#8221; Kyne said. &#8220;It&#8217;s quite significant.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The sleeper shark population in the Antarctic Ocean was likely sparse and difficult for humans to detect, Jamieson said. <\/p>\n<p>The photographed shark was maintaining a depth of around 1,640 feet along a seabed that sloped into much deeper water. The shark maintained that depth because that was the warmest layer of several water layers stacked upon each other to the surface, Jamieson said. <\/p>\n<p>The Antarctic Ocean is heavily layered, or stratified, to a depth of around 3,280 feet because of conflicting properties including colder, denser water from below not readily mixing with fresh water running off melting ice from above. <\/p>\n<p>Jamieson expects other Antarctic sharks live at the same depth, feeding on the carcasses of whales, giant squids and other marine creatures that die and sink to the bottom. <\/p>\n<p>There are few research cameras positioned at that specific depth in Antarctic waters. Those that are can only operate during the Southern Hemisphere summer months, from December through February. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The other 75% of the year, no one&#8217;s looking at all. And so this is why, I think, we occasionally come across these surprises,&#8221; Jamieson said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper recirc\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">ClimateWatch: Climate Change News &amp; Features<br \/>\n                          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/climate-change\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n                More<br \/>\n                <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                  <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n                <\/svg><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                      <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/shark-antarctica-camera-first-time-surprising-researchers\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melbourne, Australia \u2014 An ungainly barrel of a shark cruising languidly over a barren seabed far too deep for the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[769,823,575],"class_list":["post-65973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-antarctica","tag-climate-change","tag-shark"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Researchers didn&#039;t think there were sharks in Antarctica waters.
