There is life deep beneath the surface of the Antarctic ice sheet. This is what scientists have now established when they drilled through a 900-meter thick ice shelf and lowered a camera that captured footage of teeming life that should not have been there.
In a report published in NewScientist, the researchers said this is the first time that an expedition like this discovered the existence of creatures like sponges and 22 other unidentified living beings, which could include barnacles, underneath an Antarctic ice sheet.
