The land of 120,000 years without the sun in Antarctica

Scientists have recently discovered isolated, light-free land for a long time, existing in cold-sea waters.

According to Live Science, a group of scientists from the British Antarctic Survey Agency (BAS) is currently exploring.

Antarctic ice.

This place was exposed to light and air for the first time after 120,000 years. That's when the giant iceberg of the US state of Delaware broke out in July last year.

It is estimated to weigh up to 1,000,000 tons, beginning to separate from the Antarctic platform decades ago. Small cracks have appeared since the 1960s.

In July last year, the giant iceberg was finally completely separated, drifted south to the ocean and melted.

The ice block moves to expose the larger area of ​​5,800 km ² . This is where sunlight has never been seen for hundreds of thousands of years.

BAS marine biologist Katrin Linse said: "We know nothing about this land. It is covered with ice a few hundred meters thick. We get there quickly before the undersea environment changes, light the sun falls into the water and new species begin to invade ".

The ice melts in Antarctica to reveal the land of 120,000 years that has never seen the sun.

Scientists have hypothesized the possibility of an alien-like life form beneath the permafrost of Antarctica.

In other areas around Antarctica, some bizarre creatures began to appear. A marine worm with long throat and sharp teeth, like 'Christmas decorations from hell'.

Some other creatures surprised scientists because of their ability to survive in the harshest conditions. It's a species, has antifreeze right in the blood and body fluids, making it live in extremely low temperatures.
