Glaciers are secretly teeming with life
SMRTR summary
Glaciers aren't just frozen wastelands — they're home to more than 150 animal species, nearly half of which have only ever been found in glacial environments. Researchers found that different creatures, like water bears and roundworms, live in specific glacier habitats. With glaciers melting rapidly due to climate change, scientists warn that unknown species are disappearing before they can even be discovered.
