Humankind has been looking for the giant squid (Architeuthis) since we first started taking pictures underwater. But the elusive deep-sea predator could never be caught on film. Oceanographer and inventor Dr Edith Widder shares the key insight -- and the teamwork -- that helped to capture the squid on film for the first time.
For a great description of the research that led up to the discovery and more fantastic footage watch marine scientists and inventor Dr Edith Ridder's excellent presentation to a TED audience: http://youtu.be/rXkOPv3wVZw.
