New study of sea floor core samples sheds light on how animals and the Antarctic environment evolved in icy conditions.

 

The emergence of mammals such as whales and penguins and the ecosystem that we are familiar with today in the seas off Antarctica can be traced back to when it was transformed into an icy world approximately 33.5 million years ago, according to research published today in the journal Science.
