    Wow. Fantastic video. Look at all the stars down there! :eek:

    Deep under the Antarctic ice, a rare, colourful burst of starfish and 3m-long monster worms has been filmed by a BBC camera crew.
    Filmed in time-lapse, the extraordinary swarm of deep-sea creatures gathers to feed in a frenzy on the body of a seal, which had sunk to the ocean floor.
    Such a bounty of food may only occur once every ten years in the ice-cold waters of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
    The images were taken by divers filming for the natural history series Life.
