The Antarctic Ocean is WEIRD

Про це відео

We made this video in partnership with the Bik Lab at University of Georgia and the National Science Foundation. Life in Antarctica's ocean has followed a completely different evolutionary path from other ocean life because of how cold and isolated the ocean is.
