Antarctic sea ice extent has fallen dramatically in recent years – the effects include accelerated ocean warming, faster loss ...

Just a few years ago, scientists found an estimated 60 million ice fish nesting beneath the Antarctic ice. Odds are these sorts of communities are common beneath the ice.

Antarctic icefish, also called “white-blooded fish,” belong to the family Channichthyidae. They are found exclusively in the frigid waters off Antarctica.

Because Antarctic dragonfish live in remote parts of the Southern Ocean, they are poorly understood today, the journal said. The fish live in deep waters as adults, research shows.

A large sponge, a cluster of anemones, and other life is seen nearly 230 meters deep at an area of the seabed that was very recently covered by the George VI Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
