Research From Earth's Least Accessable Frontier

ImaLamer writes: "The BBC News is reporting that researchers have found some interesting things in one of the 'least explored' areas of the Earth. From the article: 'For good reason, the Gakkel Ridge is one of the least explored places on our world. It extends over 1,500 kilometres (930 miles) through the Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean, from north of Greenland to the Laptev Sea off Siberia.' It seems they eclipsed past work by 20 years and are very excited [and suprised] by the amount of new organisims found. They also hope to answer whether lifeforms evolving in the Arctic area is the same or related to lifeforms in the other oceans."

I submitted this story, it got accepted.

Then I look all over and it's NOT on the front page.

Personally, I think this is cooler than measuring the distance to the moon, considering we've done that.
