Shark Week is bringing out the big guns apparently, even though this has nothing to do with the Discovery Channel. Instead, National Geographic has gone and stolen a little of the Shark Week shine to show off recent video they captured of a very rarely seen shark near an underwater volcano.
Ocean engineer and National Geographic Explorer Brennan Phillips and his team surveyed underwater volcano Kavachi, located near the Solomon Islands. They encountered a surprising amount of sea life, including the rarely filmed Pacific sleeper shark. Phillips believes the high-definition images of this elusive shark represent only the third—and maybe the best—video of the shark ever made.
Nightmare fuel.
