"Ala ʻAumoana Kai Uli" - the "Path of the Deep Sea Traveler" was recent expedition into the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. On one deep-sea dives, scientists aboard the E/V Nautilus came face-to-face with a rare ocean creature. A "dumbo octopus" was spotted about a mile below the ocean surface, on an unnamed seamount.
St. Joseph Alumnus, Jaina Galves, gained world-wide recognition as a part of the crew that was able to film this rare sight. Jaina was controling the cameras during this rare encounter and got to share about her experience with news outlets around the world.
