First Evidence of Life Under Antarctic Ice

摘要

Researchers have gotten the first glimpse of life lurking beneath Antarctic ice. Last month, a U.S. team drilled through 1000 meters of ice to reach subglacial Lake Whillans, part of a complex hydrological system in West Antarctica-and on 7 February the team announced that they now have obtained the first evidence of micro-bial life in a subglacial Antarctic lake.
