Think of it as finding a very cool Nemo. Scientists announced yesterday that after drilling through 2,428 feet of ice they made a lively discovery—deep under all that ice were many different fish and marine invertebrates, alive and well.
Scientific American's Douglas Fox writes that the discovery came on January 15, eight days after the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) team finished drilling a hole through the ice. The goal of the WISSARD Project was to get a closer look at the Antarctic grounding zone, the location where the land meets up with the massive layers of ice above, and the sea.
