AnushkaFactual Revelations
After a study carried out on the broken Larsen Sheets, it is even more evident that the Antarctic is huge beyond imagination. The broken melted ice supports different marine life which changes itself with every crack in the iceberg. Since it is a vast piece of land which has been under our nose for years but we never really noticed, the physical changes are huge.
An Abundance Of Life
The entire year the Antarctic is covered with snow all over and it faces extreme freezing temperatures. Yet the ocean in here faces dramatic changes. The huge marine life changes seasonally and all-new algae develop. Even their reproduction depends on the season. The revealed ecosystem is giving the scientists shivers by revealing the unimaginable…
The Two Worlds
The new life under this thick ice cover is ever transforming and adapting to the outside world. As and when these beings lose the ice cover above them, they quickly merge into different selves supporting the life away from the ice. They are good-to-go with both the worlds, the underwater icy world and the one above it. How do these creatures look like is now arousing curiosity all over the world…
Ever-changing Organisms
The researchers break the ice to the world about what exactly is the nature of these mysterious species. These creatures are phytoplankton and zooplankton at the same time. They drift away with water currents and combine with existing planktons to form food on which almost the entire marine life depends.
The Air Is Antarctic
The wonderland has equally wonder species. Wow! The marine life supported by the Antarctic shows a lot of complex behaviors. These organisms absorb energy from the sun and nutrients from the water. They release molecular oxygen during this process. Nearly 50-85% of the world’s population is dependent on this oxygen.
Dubious Creatures
Susan names the newly explored creatures as similar to those of seabirds, marine mammals which are extremely delicate species. Some varieties of invertebrates could also be discovered. However, the scientists wonder that the interaction between such a diverse variety of species might give birth to an all-new biodiversity and the future is unpredictable…
