Some information I found out was that there were about 30 new species found when the ice shelf melted,This new find contributed to the 1000 species in Antarctica, but it is said by scientist that the melting of the ice shelf could alter the marine ecosystem. Out of all the 30, I could only find images of 3.

The psychedelic octopus

The Fast-Growing Sea Squirt

Deep-sea sea cucumber

What did you find interesting about this topic?

I found it interesting because I thought that the finding of new species was interesting and I thought that there could have been some weird predator, but anyway, I think that these new creatures are pretty amazing!

What did you like about the initial blog posting?

I mainly liked the topic of new discoveries, but I also thought how negative it was that global warming allowed this new discovery. These are the reasons I liked the blog posting
