ANTARCTICA-SCIENCE-SPECIES
A picture taken 21 December 2006 shows a new giant Antarctic amphipod crustacean nearly 100 mm long, belonging to the genus Eusirus, sampled by baited traps off the Antarctic Peninsula during the ANT-XXIII/8 Polarstern expedition. The collapse of two ice shelves in Antarctica has exposed an exquisite seabed ecosystem, including species of crustaceans and marine anemones that had never been identified, researchers said 25 February 2007. The insight into Antarctica's hidden marine world came from the breakup of the Larsen A and B ice shelves, 12 and five years ago respectively, that later formed huge icebergs.
