More Marine Life Discovered under Antarctic
A voyage to explore the marine life beneath a vast sheet of Antarctic sea ice has enjoyed great success, uncovering new species and terrain ranging from barren to teaming with fast-growing life. The Polarstern expedition found a new species of giant crustacean and sea-cucumbers that had previously only been seen in the deep sea in any number. The investigation was made possible by the collapse of the Larsen ice-sheet in northeast Antarctica.
