There's a lot more going on beneath those huge sheets of Antarctic ice than you might think. NASA researchers drilled an eight-inch hole and stuck a video camera 600 feet down, hoping to observe the underbelly of the thick ice sheet.
To their amazement, a curious critter swam into view and clung to the video camera's cable. The three-inch crustacean in their video is a Lyssianasid amphipod, a relative of a shrimp.
