Drilling Beneath Ross Ice Shelf Aims to Find Ocean Life
An international team plans to drill through the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica starting Nov 4 to probe dark waters beneath. A TV camera will inspect the ice bottom and seafloor, with nets and baited lines to sample potential life and determine ice age for glacial history. The project, led by NSF, seeks to gauge human impact on marine environments under the thick ice.
