Correct Answer

Explanation

Bacteria have been discovered as deep as 800 meters (0.50 miles) beneath the ice in Antarctica.
This finding suggests that there may be a native bacterial community within the subterranean water body of Lake Vostok, a large subglacial lake in East Antarctica.
The study of microbial life in extreme environments such as Antarctica helps scientists understand the potential for life in similar conditions elsewhere in the universe.
