Scientists in Antarctica have found preserved carcasses of tiny animals in a mysterious lake buried under more than 3,500 feet of ice.
Mercer Subglacial Lake is a hydraulically active lake that lies more 1000m beneath the Whillans Ice Plain, a fast moving section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Researchers managed to drill into the lake for the first time earlier this year, and have now revealed they found signs of life.
According to Nature, researchers found the remains of crustaceans and a tardigrade, or 'water bear' in the icy depths.

This quite significant because of the theorized dates. If true... Antarctica was not always where it is now, or it thawed once or twice fairly recently.
“The team are unsure how the creatures got there, but one theory is that they inhabited ponds and streams in the Transantarctic Mountains 50km away during brief warm periods, which occurred in the past 10,000 years or 120,000 years ago, and somwhow were transported to Mercer Lake.”

Im betting on them being around 4,000 years old...
lol They will never admit that it is around 4,000 years old. It'll be some crazy random number that they forget to align with their other crazy numbers.

I could have guessed that from the nesting habits of the Emperor Penguins. These birds make an epic migration from the coast to their nesting grounds miles away. It must have happened gradually, with the ice sheet growing just a little bit every year.
