The Arctic after dark: a secret world of hidden life

Amazing stuff!

More evidence that the Global Warming is a hoax and Climate Change is a religion! We still know so little about our planet!

"... This is a new frontier for Arctic researchers. Until 2007, it wouldn’t have seemed profitable to stage an oceanographic biology expedition in midwinter. Scientists thought that most of the region’s marine ecosystem shut down throughout the months-long darkness of polar night. Without sunlight to power the growth of photosynthetic plankton, there would be nothing to eat for the larger zooplankton, which are the primary source of food for seabirds and fish. That was the conventional wisdom, at least.
It turned out to be wrong. A series of discoveries has shown that even in the absence of sunlight and food, some zooplankton thrive throughout the winter. They mate and incubate eggs in the darkness — and all that activity plays a crucial part in fuelling the Arctic’s massive explosion of rebirth each spring. ..."
