Scientists, including researchers from Aberdeen, have been studying how deep seaweed can survive.
Scientists have discovered a new kind of seaweed 100 metres below the surface of the Antarctic Ocean.
The team, including researchers from the University of Aberdeen, found the seaweed using a remotely operated vehicle .The seaweed was discovered by a team of researchers working at the Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island, off the south-western Antarctic Peninsula. He explained: "We know that carbon capture will be crucial to limiting global warming as we move forward, and seaweeds sequester large amounts of CO2.
