But the island's biggest waterfalls will keep flowing all year-round due to the sheer force of the melt water from the subglacial rivers.

不过冰岛最大的瀑布还会常年奔流不息，这全靠一条条冰川河的融水源源不断的供给。

They're microbes: tiny plants and animals living embedded inside of glaciers, underneath the sea ice and swimming in subglacial ponds.

它们是微生物：生活在冰川内部、海冰下并在冰下池塘中游泳的微小植物和动物。

The lake has a surface area of 143 square miles (370 square km), making it one of the largest subglacial lakes beneath Antarctica's plentiful ice.

该湖的表面积为 143 平方英里（370 平方公里），是南极洲丰富冰层下最大的冰下湖之一。

I sampled bacteria at Blood Falls, a natural phenomenon of a subglacial pond spurting out iron oxide that was thought to be utterly lifeless until a little more than a decade ago.

我在 Blood Falls 采集了细菌样本，这是一种冰下池塘喷出氧化铁的自然现象， 直到十多年前， 氧化铁才被认为完全没有生命。
