Deep-Sea Alien Abode Discovered by Jeanna Bryner:
Scientists had assumed that the deep sea of the South Pole would follow similar trends in biodiversity documented for the Arctic. “There are less species in the Arctic than around the equator,” said one of the study scientists, Brigitte Ebbe, a taxonomist at the German Center for Marine Biodiversity Research. “People assumed that it would be the same if you went from the equator south, but it didn’t prove to be true at all.”

Thats amazing. Whats equally amazing is how we keep finding more and more species. At first thought most people would say that we have explored the whole earth. But there are still so many places we have never seen.
