Rare Pelagic Octopus, Hawaii

As chief scientist and director for the Sustainable Seas Expeditons, she was in waters off Lanai as part of a five-year project of exploration and discovery of the oceans on her last dive in a submersible. She was accompanied by National Geographic photographer Kip Evans in a second submersible. "It was a nice long dive, almost three hours," she said. As Evans lifted off, she she saw what she thought was some plastic hanging in the water. "It turned out to have eyes. An enormous octopus and a wonderful creature. She inspected me while I inspected her.
