Ancient ecosystem uncovered beneath Antarctic glacier collapse
Scientists uncover a thriving ecosystem beneath an Antarctic glacier, revealing corals, octopuses, and giant sea spiders untouched for centuries.
An octopus rests on the seafloor at a depth of 1,150 meters in the Bellingshausen Sea off Antarctica, in an area where the edge of the shelf and the slope are carved by several underwater channels.(photo credit: Screenshot, ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute)Updated:
