See the creature in the depths of 180m under the ice in Antarctica

Scientists from the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) have reportedly unexpectedly captured an image of a crustacean living in a 180-meter-deep water environment under the ice in Antarctica, where there is no light. Sunlight.

The team also saw a tentacle-like object of a jellyfish with a body length of about 30cm.

These findings reverse the long-held hypothesis that an environment in such extreme conditions is unlikely to exist, even for microorganisms.

Robert Bindschadler, the lead researcher, said the creature was accidentally discovered when his team put a camera through thick ice to see the water below, but the scientists themselves were I think I won't find anything at that depth.

The location of this new discovery is located on the west side of the Antarctic continent and about 20km from the coast.

The team removed the possibility of the creature on the sea from migrating to the site, asserting that an animal of this size cannot cross this far distance by wriggling under thick ice.

Mr. Bindschadler identified which biological mechanism allows crustaceans to exist in harsh environments and where their food sources are still a mystery.

The scientist also announced the details of the precious video that will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Association.
