Biological and Oceanographic Observations under an Antarctic Ice Shelf.
Animal life has been shown to exist under the Ross Ice Shelf, from samples obtained with bottom-sampling equipment through naturally occurring cracks in the permanent shelf ice. An abundant fauna, comprising at least nine phyla, was found on a mud and rock bottom. This fauna differs somewhat from that found under nearby seas periodically covered with sea ice 2 to 3 meters thick.
