 Lydonia Canyon, the most eastern canyon found in the Monument, is home to unique wildlife! These creatures live in total darkness and come in all quirky shapes, sizes and colors like this scale worm! Another captivating species found here is the chimaera, which is featured in Dive 12: Lydonia Canyon from the Northeast U.S. Canyons Expedition 2013 conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
