00:00Antarctica is a freezing cold place, it's covered in snow and ice, but around volcanoes
00:14in Antarctica the steam melts the ice and in fact the steam can create amazing cave
00:19systems beneath the glaciers.
00:38Our study gives us a really exciting, tantalizing glimpse of the sorts of plants and animals
00:43that might live beneath the ice in Antarctica.
00:46Some of the DNA evidence that we found suggests that maybe there are things living in these
00:50caves that we know nothing about, there could even be new species.
01:03The next step is to go and have a really good look and see whether we can find communities
01:09beneath the ice in Antarctica.
