New detailed map of Antarctic topography; what is under the ice sheet. A lot of the rock bed is actually under sea level.

NonilexDuring the roughly month-long expedition, the researchers piloted a remotely operated vehicle to capture photos & video & collect specimens from some of the deepest reaches off <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Antarctica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antarctica</a>. The team also explored areas of the remote BellingshausenSea farther from the ice sheet. Among the species potentially new to <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> are crustaceans, sea snails, worms & fish. It will take months of lab analysis to confirm the discovery of any <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NewSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewSpecies</a>. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocean</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/discovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discovery</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>

NonilexThe discovery, announced Thursday, not only shows how life finds a way into nearly every corner of the world — including entombed under floating glaciers — but also provides a crucial baseline for understanding how deep-sea life may change on a warming planet.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocean</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/discovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discovery</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Antarctica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antarctica</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>

Nonilex…The scientists didn’t think much life could thrive tucked under such a thick blanket of ice.  But what the team members found under the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/iceberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iceberg</a> surprised them: giant sea spiders, octopuses, ice fish, corals & sponges, including a vase-shaped one that might be hundreds of years old. In total, the researchers believe they will be able to identify dozens of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NewSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewSpecies</a> from the expedition.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocean</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/discovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discovery</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Antarctica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antarctica</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>

NonilexResearchers were working off the coast of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Antarctica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antarctica</a> when it happened: A gigantic <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/iceberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iceberg</a> about 19 miles long cracked off the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/IceShelf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IceShelf</a> on Jan 13, revealing a swath of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocean</a> that had not seen daylight in decades.  The team aboard a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> vessel called the Falkor (too) decided to search the seafloor under the freshly exposed ocean.
