Scientists have found a swarm of crab-like creatures 1,600 feet below the ice in Antarctica in what is termed a freshwater river. The scientists were on a mission to study the river in the Ross Ice Shelf to see how it has been impacted by climate change. To their surprise, they came across living creatures that were moving freely around their cameras. In a press release, the researchers described the creatures as amorphous—creatures in the same family as crabs, lobsters, and mites.
