All of the Musicians Seamounts are named after composers.
This one is named after the composer Verdi, who is most well known for his operas.
The name was proposed by Dr. William Menard.
He was, at the time, at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, at the University of California San Diego.
He proposed this name in 1959, after his group did some preliminary mapping of the seamounts with the lower-resolution sonars available at that time.
So his group was quite influential in early days of seamount hunting, so to speak.
Oh, we've got, looks like a ctenophore.
And they usually glow sort of rainbow-like when the light from the ROV shines on them.
We got some information from Dhugal Lindsay on this.
And it is a yet undescribed species in a yet undescribed family.
So, completely new to science.
