The Deep, an exhibition about the world underneath the sea is currently on exhibit at London’s Natural History Museum. These two sea creatures caught the eye of AnOther Magazine stating, “one is about the size of a tennis ball and looks both as light as the flimsy tendrils of a dandelion head and as prickly as a fist full of needles. Lying next to this marvel, are equally diaphanous twins: crystalline bulbs that sprout delicate tentacles. Though as translucent as a jellyfish, they seem frozen. Look close and you can see they’re made not of organic matter, but of glass. Impossibly intricate in construction, these are two of the Blaschka’s rarely seen models of sea life”.

Looks amazing. I love this sort of thing, geeking out on nature’s wonders. On show until September 5th.
