Antarctic Transparent Jellyfish

Photo: Antarctic transparent jellyfish
WALLPAPER
Glowing in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, this transparent jellyfish seems to inhabit another world. From the Arctapodema genus, the transparent jellyfish's grandeur is more remarkable given its inch-long (2.5-centimeter-long) size.
