A strange new species of fish may have been discovered in Antarctica by scientists exploring what lies beneath the icy continent.

The weird creature was revealed during a documentary that followed the Antarctic expedition during a trip that uncovered one of the strangest marine life ever seen.

The documentary has been posted on the YouTube Tracks channel and presents a number of strange marine animals that could be new species.

There was one fish in particular that really surprised senior scientist Andrew Stewart.

Dr. Stewart held the creature in front of the camera and said, "Now I have no idea what species it is.

"The colors on the fins do not look like anything I've ever seen before."

The Antarctic still holds many mysteries and offers scientists a pristine landscape on which they can study the history of the Earth.

Dr. Stewart's expedition has focused on trawling in the waters of the continent to observe creatures capable of surviving under such difficult conditions.

Trawling on the seabed has led to a number of interesting discoveries, including many marine sponges, sea cucumbers and a wide variety of fish.

Stewart said, "We now have whole families of fish that we do not find anywhere else in the world, with the exception of the Southern Ocean and which are fascinating animals.

"These are ice fish, temperatures above five degrees are too hot for them."

The official designation of a new species may take some time, as there must be consensus among experts and ample evidence and research.
