On October 9, 1874, a female flame squid was captured in the Arafura Sea (09 degrees 59 minutes south latitude, 139 degrees 42 minutes east longitude) by the Royal Society's Challenger Expedition, which opened the door to scientific research on the flame squid. This earliest specimen of the flame squid is currently housed at the Natural History Museum in London.
