Scientists dive into 'Midnight Zone' to study dark ocean.
Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.BARCELONA, Spain -- A team of scientists is preparing to dive deep into the depths of the Indian Ocean — into a “Midnight Zone” where light barely reaches but life still thrives.
"What we do know is that beneath 1,000 meters , there's no light down there, but a lot of animals … are bioluminescent. It's life that glows," says Nekton mission director Oliver Steeds. "There are only five vehicles in the world that can get below 6,000 meters , and only one that can get to the bottom half," said expedition leader Rob McCallum."So everything we do is new. Everything we see is virtually a new discovery."
