Default Abundance of life discovered beneath an Antarctic ice shelf

Abundance of life discovered beneath an Antarctic ice shelf

Dec 21, 2021

Far beneath the ice shelves of the Antarctic, there is more marine life than expected, finds a recent study in the journal Current Biology, published this week.

Despite occupying nearly 1.6 million km2, ice shelves are amongst the least known environments on Earth. Life has been seen in these perpetual dark, cold and still habitats on camera but has rarely been collected.
