Creatures 600 ft Under the Ice!

Hi this is Julia with more exciting news:  Scientists find live creatures like shrimp and jellyfish underneath a thick sheet of ice! Scientists thought nothing could live 600 ft below ice with no sunlight. The only thing they thought that could live there were microbes. But they were WRONG! They lowered a video camera under the ice and found live creatures swimming around. The shrimp they found was the same type of shrimp you could find on your very own dinner plate! They think that the video taken will make scientists think differently about life in harsh enviorments. Scientists are asking many questions like were they trapped there? And the anwser is no. A scientists drilled a hole through the ice and saw water so they could swim anywhere they wanted to. They also asked why would they go there? How could there be a food source down there?!?!? Scientists are still trying to solve these mysterious questions. I am really excited to find put about how animals can live in these harsh places. Thanks for reading our blog!
