Algae is one of the most important lifeforms on the planet producing the oxygen we breathe and forming the foundation of aquatic food webs. But as winters grow warmer and shorter, what happens to life beneath the ice?
Under the Ice follows scientists and divers as they attempt something that’s never done before: collecting algae samples from the underside of ice sheets.
Watch Under the Ice on our YouTube channel in the latest episode of Great Lakes Now.
