Antarctic seafloor exposed after 50 years of ice cover
When the giant iceberg A74 calved from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf, it exposed seafloor that had been covered over for five decades. The German research vessel Polarstern managed to get between the berg and the ice shelf to image the animals living on the seabed.
