This bodes well for extraterrestrial life within our solar system.
Diverse life found deep in Antarctic lake
Antarctica is turning into an interesting place for this sort of research. Also interesting is the fact that Antarctica yields an impressive number of found meteorites, due to its unique environment. Being covered with ice year round, any "rocks" found on the surface almost always turn out to be meteorites, and the color contract, and lack of any other rocky material on the ice, makes their recovery easy. I'm betting Greenland works similarly, although the ice on Greenland is much more fluid and active.
Diverse life found deep in Antarctic lake
American researchers have found a "diverse" colony of microbial life living in an ice-sealed Antarctic lake. The life survives at temperatures of 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit and could mean that life could survive in extreme conditions on Mars or other places in the Solar System.
