Cirroctopus glacialis is an octopus located in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. Its shell is v-shaped, and it has a distinctive pigmentation pattern on its web's oral face.[3] C. glacialis is thought to be demersal, like other members of the genus Cirroctopus. These octopuses are found between 333 and 914 meters deep. Their population is currently unknown.[4]
