We now turn our attention to a separate but no less essential form of nourishment that the members of the Antarctic underworld enjoy: krill feces. You probably know that krill are the minuscule crustaceans that whales love to swallow in vast quantities. But their presence also cares for a less obvious group in the ocean. It is their droppings that transform the seabed from a barren wasteland into a murky home ideal for some organisms. You can bet that anything that makes it through the day in such unusual circumstances will appear out of this world.
