This video feed comes from a camera looking upward from the bottom of a hole that has just been drilled through the ice using a jet of warm water; the jet creates a scalloped pattern as it swirls downward.

A crustacean known as a Lyssianasid amphipod (orange blob swimming around) startled scientists who were peering at this camera feed from an underwater hole drilled through the Antarctic ice.
