A groundbreaking discovery has been made by scientists exploring the Earth’s subsurface, revealing a mysterious ecosystem that has left experts astounded. The revelation came as a result of research conducted by the Deep Carbon Observatory, focusing on the exploration of 'deep life' beneath the Earth’s crust.
During their investigation, the team unearthed a significant amount of carbon and identified the presence of 'barely living zombie bacteria', a finding that took the scientific community by surprise. The researchers presented their findings at the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting in 2018, detailing their drilling efforts ranging from 2.5km to 5km into the seafloor across various continents and seas.
