CoML Explorers Find Hundreds of Identical Species Thrive in Both the Arctic and Antarctic

ArcOD (Arctic Ocean Diversity) and CAML (Census of Antarctic Marine Life) researchers are startled to find the Polar oceans share 235 species.

These Polar Year results are milestones towards the historic 1st global ocean Census of Marine Life. Earth’s unique, forbidding ice oceans of the Arctic and Antarctic have revealed a trove of secrets to CoML explorers, who were especially surprised to find at least 235 species live in both polar seas despite an 11,000-kilometer distance in between.
