One of the hypotheses on the origin of the sound is moving ice in Antarctica. Sound spectrograms of vibrations caused by friction closely resemble the spectrogram of the Slow Down. This suggests the source of the sound could have been caused by the friction of a large ice sheet moving over land. [9]
A research diver reaches towards a jellyfish that thrives in the −1.5 °C (29.3 °F) salt water of McMurdo Sound. A rich sea life thrives under the barren expanse of McMurdo Sound's ice pack. Frigid waters that would kill many other fish in the world sustain the Antarctic notothenioid, a bony "ice fish" related to walleyes and perch.
In February 2021, scientists discovered and documented a breeding colony of Neopagetopsis ionah icefish estimated to have 60 million active nests across an area of approximately 92 square miles at the bottom of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. [6] The majority of nests were occupied by one adult fish guarding an average of 1,735 eggs in each nest ...

Antarctic fish is a common name for a variety of fish that inhabit the Southern Ocean. There are relatively few families in this region, the most species-rich being the Liparidae (snailfishes), followed by Nototheniidae (cod icefishes). [1] The latter is one of eight different families that belong to the suborder Notothenioidei of the order ...
One penguin had just finished up hunting in the frigid waters and makes a grand exit from the water onto the ice. Make sure you have your sound on so you can hear Jump play as the penguin leaps ...
The blackfin icefish belongs to Notothenioidei, a suborder of fishes that accounts for 90% of the fish fauna on the Antarctic continental shelf. [3] Icefishes, also called white-blooded fishes, are a unique family in that they are the only known vertebrates to lack haemoglobin , making their blood oxygen carrying capacity just 10% that of other ...
Channichthyidae, the crocodile icefish or white-blooded fish of the Antarctic region, so-named for their cold habitat and clear (colorless) blood without hemoglobin Jonah's icefish (Neopagetopsis ionah), of the Southern Ocean; Nototheniidae, the cod icefish or notothens of the Antarctic region, whose members have red, hemoglobin-rich blood
