A research team led by German marine biologist Katrin Linse has just set foot in Antarctica. USA Today likened the mission to "a visit to an alien world."

The latest information sent back said that Ms. Katrin Linse (of the British Antarctic Survey - BAS) and the expedition team have recently arrived in Antarctica and will stay here for 3 weeks.

Their mission is to study 2,200 square miles of newly exposed seafloor after the 1 trillion-ton A-68 ice sheet on Antarctica's Larsen C continent broke apart last July.

Scientists have revealed that the ice break has exposed a mysterious world of creatures never seen on Earth, dating back 120,000 years. USA Today even called the expedition's trip "a visit to an alien world". Fox News said the broken ice halo hid "the rest of the world".

According to Ms. Katrin Linse, this large-scale mission was organized quite urgently, because after being exposed to the world, sunlight will begin to help these new creatures transform and adapt to the new environment, interacting with the existing biological population.

In addition to collecting samples, the team is also tasked with learning about life under the ice and changes to the ecosystem as the 120,000-year isolation is released.

Last week, several newspapers also brought to the public images of strange creatures belonging to another sea area first discovered by Greenpeace, also in Antarctica.

It can be said that Antarctica still surprises scientists with one strange world after another because of the strange worlds it still hides.
