Under the ice of Antarctica at a depth of 500 meters found a whole swarm of living creatures.

These are distant relatives of lobsters and crabs - amphipods about five millimeters in size. They live in a network of hidden freshwater lakes and rivers. Scientists have known about their existence for a long time, but they managed to lower the probe and look inside for the first time. It is unlikely that any of the discovered creatures are yet unknown to science, the researchers say, but they are interested in learning more about how amphipods survive in such harsh conditions.
