Scientists to explore underneath of Antarctica ice sheet

The expedition, known as SALSA (Subglacial Antarctic Lakes Scientific Access), hopes to shed light on what kind of life can survive in such remote regions and serve as an on Earth comparison for habitats deep inside Mars or on the ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
