Important Food Source
Is this your first time hearing about marine snow? It is organic material that flows down from the ocean’s surface to the ocean’s floor. It is a vital source of food for the creatures who live beneath the ocean’s surface. After all, it uses sunlight to transport energy and nutrients from different parts of the sea.

Krill Poo Too
However, there is another important food source in the Antarctic Ocean. We’re talking about krill feces! Krill are small crustaceans that live all over the world and play an important role in the food chain. Their excrement, in particular, turns the seafloor into a muddy environment that is ideal for supporting life at that depth. It just so happens that the animals that thrive in the area are some of the strangest creatures you’ll ever see.
