Researchers are developing under Antarctide ice shelf, never find an unprecedented ecosystem: “This is unprecedented”

A lucky group of scientists was able to investigate the unprecedented part of the Antarctic, after the newly exposed seashore and previously discovered the previous the inaccessible ecosystem before the previous surface.

A team from the Schmidt Ocean Institute, in January 2025, the R / V Falcor (also) research vessel “A piece of ice, which is a size of chicago, is a glacier that is 57 miles.

“It’s so quick to be there so far,” he said. The institute is a philanthropist who sponsored the ocean intelligence and science research.

Dr. Patricia Esquete, the leading scientist on the ship, he said there were no disputes about the site or not to go to the site.

“We cannot believe that” God, this happened, “he said. “Esquete said.” Everyone accepted that we should go there. ”

The ship could come to the area in one day. More than 1,000 meters of submarine robots have subsided to investigate the area and the field.

Almost immediate researchers began to see people never left their eyes before.

“The first thing we saw was a giant sponge with a crab on it,” Esquete said. “It’s pretty amazing, because our question will usually be any life? ‘”

The sponges grow very slowly – sometimes less than two centimeters per year. To get this big, scientists, ecosystem develops for a long time – perhaps it develops for centuries.

According to the institute, the remote vehicle investigated the sea bank for eight days. Bungs, huge sea spiders and Octopi also found great cranes and more sponge.

Esquete said researchers now learned how the ecosystem has taken enough energy to work. Virmani suggested that the ocean currents will bring food to the area.

Since January, scientists have approved the presence of at least six new species, virman, but there are “more to analyze yet.”

Because the Schmidt Ocean Institute, all research, information and live broadcasts can be accessed to explore and analyze other scientists.

Esquete, the study in the study of the team’s new ecosystem does not end. They plan to return to the area in 2028.

“Antarctica is changing rapidly,” said Esquete. “And to understand what will happen, we should really go back and continue to learn and try to learn what this ecosystem is doing under the ice shelf.”
