About Iceland’s Seabed Ecosystem

Sea anemones (Actinauge sp.) are primitive multicellular sea animals of the Coelenterata phylum. Each sea anemone is a single organism. They usually live on solid seabed where food is diverse. Sea anemones are widespread, their habitat ranging from shallow waters down to a depth of 5000 meters. In warm waters they can be large and colourful. Many types of sea anemones are found in shallow waters off Iceland. The sea anemone depicted on the stamp was photographed at 600 m depth in the Háfadjúp area. Benthic communities are sometimes viewed with underwater cameras. This applies in particular to research in sensitive habitats.
