Many new species found in the Antarctic

A new survey of marine life in the Antarctic Ocean has revealed a pile of new species.

"Of 674 species cataloged, more than 80 percent had never been previously identified. The expeditions also turned up 160 species of snail-like gastropods and bivalves, along with 76 types of sponges, 17 of them new to science."
