--------
In 2005, a deep-sea expedition in the Arctic Ocean unveiled a number of species far beneath the surface that were completely unknown to science. In fact, the most well-established of the species, a jelly-like creature, was totally new, and never-before investigated. Naturalists no longer stick to the old ideas about where life may have evolved, after they have found species of organisms in the most unaccessible places over the last years. The ones in the Arctic Ocean were separated from other deep-sea animals probably millions of years ago, by huge, deep-sea ridges. These natural blocks make it extremely difficult for anything to go in or out, especially if the animals they “trap” are accustomed to living at only a certain pressure and temperature. If the ridge extends beyond these ranges, then the species naturally cannot leave the area without dying. The most secluded such area that the experts were able to identify thus far is a region known as the Canadian Basin, !
the BBC News reports. The 2005 study explored it with a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV). The largest part of the funding for the study conducted four years ago came from the Office of ocean Exploration and Research, a division of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The complete result...
