The first-ever encounter of a live colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) has been seen near the South Sandwich Islands. The uninhabited islands are administered as part of the British Overseas Territory.

The islands are located in the South Atlantic Ocean, north of the Weddell Sea and 470 miles (760 km) southeast of the island of South Georgia. The Schmidt Ocean Institute was the first to see this elusive creature alive and in its natural habitat, having been first discovered in 1925. The squid is currently just 30 cm long, but adults are believed to reach total lengths of up to 7 m and weights of 500 kg, making them the heaviest invertebrate on the planet.
