Deep-sea life in Antarctica
- Life-forms are present in almost all environments of Earth, even in hostile environments like Antarctica.
- Because of its extremely difficult environment, Antarctica has been the last area to be accessed by Humans and is unique in its pristineness.
- Besides its hostile environment, the deep-sea of Antarctica is home to a flourishing life (see course on biodiversity here).
- The deep-sea of Antarctica is home to unique species all adapted to cold environment (see course on evolution here).
- Understanding the biodiversity of Antarctica can help us to understand how climate change impacts all biodiversity.
