Life in icy waters "At the bottom of the globe, darkness permeates the harsh landscape for months at a time. Just a glimpse of this quiet desolation makes one wonder what could possibly survive there...? But as summer slowly approaches and the sun brings light and warmth to the sea around Antarctica, the vast expanse of winter ice that blanketed the sea slowly weakens. Long, ragged cracks wind their way through the ice, revealing areas of open water."
