I don't know if they're higher resolution, but you can find lots more photos at the Census for Marine Life's image gallery.

Like others I wish the pictures were of higher quality.
Does anyone have a source for high quality pictures?

Simply AMAZING! I’ve always been fascinated with underwater sea creatures. Thanks to the people who have the courage to discover such findings.

All these images are astounding. That “fathead” fish looks like a sad Ziggy.

I would love to see the same pictures in a high resolution and I’m annoyed that anyone considers the currently offered resolution adequate.

Who needs to send a probe to Titan or Europa to find bizarre alien life forms? These images are astounding.

Why not say how many pretty pictures there are & number them as they are being viewed?

@Michael Jennings: Thermal vents can reach 400C. This is lava in contact with highly-pressurized seawater at tremendous depths.

At the “mere” melting point of lead, some of these creatures might “freeze to death” (have too low a temperature to support the processes that keep them alive).
