Under the ice of Antarctica found a river with microscopic animals

New Zealand scientists have found a "lost world" under the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. This is a river under a half-kilometer layer of ice, in which small shrimp-like creatures live. Amphipods live in the subglacial river: arthropods five millimeters in size, relatives of lobsters and crabs. Scientists know that under the ice of Antarctica there is a network of freshwater reservoirs, but they are practically not studied. The researchers left the camera and other equipment in the drilled hole. It will help to find out what is the uniqueness of these waters.
