The 37-year-old Norwegian photographer Rekdal has just released a series of photos of 'The Beauty of the Jellyfish in the Dark', made by him in the Norwegian fjord.

>>>Detecting a mysterious super-creature under the sea

According to Rekdal, jellyfish that we can easily find in the North Atlantic Sea are quite friendly jellyfish. But the jellyfish he shows here are arguably the most "mysterious and annoying" guests in the world. These are the jellyfish that always live in the dark, operating quite deep in the ocean.

Its size may be only 1cm but there are also a few feet long. The structure of this jellyfish is extremely special, identical to the characteristics of a vampire. The color of their bodies is melted, seemingly transparent when exposed to light and gathering when in the dark.

To capture these beautiful photos, he had to dive deep into the ocean, wrap the equipment under watertight aluminum shells and shoot through glass portholes.

He added that just a little flash could make 'fastidious' jellyfish dive and disappear in the night. So he could only capture them in the absence of serious light, and picking quality pictures in the absence of light was also a problem.

But anyway, his photos have shown the rare beauty of this bizarre creature.
