Did you know there’s a whole ancient world buried under Antarctica’s ice? Scientists discovered the remains of prehistoric ecosystems, including rivers and lakes, trapped beneath miles of frozen surface. It’s like a ghost of Earth’s distant past, preserved in icy time capsules for millions of years. This hidden world may have once teemed with life, back when Antarctica was lush and green instead of the frozen desert it is today. The coolest part? Exploring it could give us clues about how life adapts to extreme conditions—on Earth and maybe even other planets. It’s wild to think that under all that ice lies a snapshot of a world we never knew! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
