A NASA team, led by a leading biologist from Stanford University, have found an phytoplankton bloom under the Arctic ice. The team believe that is a side effect caused by major changes in Arctic ecosystems as the planet warms. The discovery was made by the 2011 NASA-sponsored ICESCAPE expedition under the Chukchi Sea, and it has caused scientists to completely rethink how Arctic ecosystems work and what the future holds for the region.
