Molecular evidence for a relict marine community in an Antarctic Dry Valleys subglacial brine-fed system
The McMurdo Dry Valleys contain a mosaic of specialized microbial habitats structured by strong physical and chemical gradients. Blood Falls, located at the terminus of the Taylor Glacier, is a red, iron-rich outflow of deep Antarctic subglacial brine with geochemical and isotopic evidence supporting a potential ancien...
