excellent other world experience

I can't describe how awesome it sounds underneath a polar ice shelf so I highly recommend you spend some time listening to the live streaming mp3 so you can understand. The Alfred Wegener Institute has permanent microphones recording life and shifting sounds under an ice shelf in Antarctica. If you browse their website you can also find some interesting photo's of new life forms (like the spider-thing below guarding its eggs) and video. This might be the coolest thing on the internet.
