Another testament on how resilient life is under even the harshest conditions.

Quote: The latest video sensation isn't a teen pop star, but a spunky shrimplike creature found deep below the Antarctic ice. Scientists had assumed such dark, subfreezing water would only be able to support a few simple microbes. But the orange amphipod has completely changed where scientists thought advanced life was possible.
A NASA research team drilled an eight-inch hole and stuck a video camera 600 feet down, hoping to observe the underbelly of the thick ice sheet. To their amazement, a curious critter swam into view and clung to the video camera's cable. When the camera came up, there was also a long tentacle stuck to it, which scientists think came from a jellyfish.
While it's possible the creatures floated in from somewhere else, the NASA team doubts it, because the hole was 12 miles from open water.
Another testament on how resilient life is under even the harshest conditions.
