A DEEP-sea cucumber known as a "headless chicken monster" has been filmed in the Southern Ocean for the first time using camera technology developed by Australian researchers.

The creature was filmed off East Antarctica and it's the first time the species has been seen in the area.

"Some of the footage we are getting back from the cameras is breathtaking, including species we have never seen in this part of the world," Australian Antarctic Division Program leader Dr Dirk Welsford said.
