Somewhere under the ice of Antarctica, an eye the size of a dinner plate watches you from total darkness.
It belongs to the heaviest invertebrate on the planet. A creature built for pressure that would crush a submarine. Scientists named it in 1925, and for 100 years, almost nobody saw it alive.
You are about to meet the colossal squid. Its tentacles carry rotating hooks that no other squid on Earth possesses. Its body holds a jelly like chemical trick that lets it hang in the water without moving a muscle. Sperm whales carry its scars into old age, and some of its remains suggest giants bigger than anything ever confirmed.
We will drop into its world 2000 meters down. We will meet the only predator strong enough to hunt it. We will see the footage that took a century to capture.
Prepare yourselves. We begin.
