Giant starfish that measure 60 centimeters (24 inches) across are held by Sadie Mills (left), and Niki Davey of New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research on February 15, 2008.

They and other researchers collected over 25,000 sea creatures of which many where new to science, during a 35-day census in Antarctic waters in February and March.

The large-scale survey was part of the International Polar Year and Census of Antarctic Marine Life programs, which study the diversity of Antarctic marine life.
