A secret world of animals and plants—including unknown species—may live in warm caves under Antarctica's glaciers, scientists said Friday.
The caves, hollowed out by steam from active volcanoes, are light and could reach temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit), researchers said, raising the possibility of a whole ecosystem of flora and fauna deep beneath the frozen surface.
A study led by the Australian National University around Mount Erebus, an active volcano on Ross Island in Antarctica, showed extensive cave systems.
Lead researcher Ceridwen Fraser said forensic analyses of soil samples from the caves had revealed intriguing traces of DNA from algae, mosses and small animals.
77 degrees Fahrenheit is balmy. How long before homesteaders move in?

There's a lot of bad science. So much! But it's terrific that we can cure that now. People get it, they don't lose their minds. They don't have to lose their minds. 🇺🇸
