Nudibranch (Notaeolidia) from Antarctica
This nudibranch (Notaeolidia), or sea slug, a type of soft-bodied marine gastropod mollusk, is found in the icy waters around Antarctica. This specimen was collected during the 2019 PolarTREC (Polar Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) expedition to study the thermal sensitivity of embryos and larvae of Antarctic marine ectotherms.
