Hi, I read that in Antarctica, water under ice is warmer than the atmosphere above the ice, and many animals hide underwater to stay warm. Sea lions and what not. Why is that? Thanks!

Wow, that’s a really interesting question! From what I understand, the weight of the ice on top of the water creates pressure that can raise the temperature of the water underneath. I’m not exactly sure how it all works, but I hope someone can explain it better!
