"Life finds a way," the actor Jeff Goldblum playing scientist Ian Malcolm declared in the 1993 movie "Jurassic Park."
Animal life was not what scientists were expecting to find in the pitch-black seawater beneath almost half a mile of floating Antarctic ice, but it seems to have found a way with the discovery of sea creatures living in the extreme environment.
Geologists taking sediment cores from the seafloor beneath the giant Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf on the southern edge of Antarctica's Weddell Sea discovered what biologists believe are types of sponge. The finding was published Monday (https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.642040) in Frontiers in Marine Science.
The geologists were more than 150 miles from the open ocean when they bored a hole through the 3,000-foot-thick ice with a hot-water drill and lowered a coring device and a video camera into the dark seawater below it.
They had expected the seafloor to be mud, but were dismayed when they hit a boulder, which meant they couldn't get the intended sediment samples. But to their surprise, the camera showed colonies of "stationary" animals attached to the rock - probably sponges and related sea creatures.

Yeah I read about it earlier.
