A three-inch long Lyssianasid amphipod (seen in orange) was found on the underside of the McMurdo ice shelf in Antarctica.
Six hundred feet below the Antarctic ice, where no light can be found, NASA scientists made a startling discovery – a swimming shrimp-like creature that could challenge the idea of where and how forms of life can survive.
While the creature is small itself -– only about three inches long -– its impact could be tremendous.
A NASA team had lowered a small video camera to get the first-ever photograph of the underside of an ice shelf – and that’s when they saw the swimming creature, according to a NASA document.
The discovery could shake the very foundation of what kind of creatures can survive in certain atmospheres.
"We were operating on the presumption that nothing's there," NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler told the Associated Press. "It was a shrimp you'd enjoy having on your plate."
"We were just gaga over it," he told the AP.
The creature, a Lyssianasid amphipod, could lead the way for larger expeditions into harsher environments that scientists previously believed could not support life – both on the Earth and even frozen moons in outer space.
These creatures has been studied for 30 years already, by Norwegian marine bioligists. I don't get the hype.
its the thing!! kill it! kill it!!!
