<strong>Amazing moment:</strong> Alan Jamieson, the expedition's chief scientist, spoke to CNN Travel about the incredible find: "It just so happened to drift right up to our camera, make a 90-degree turn, give us a beautiful shot of it and off it went -- so it's just such an unbelievably lucky shot," he says.
