Coolest soundtrack: under the Antarctic Ice!

Here is some interesting material from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research. They've put a microphone under the sea ice and you can listen to a live MP3 stream of the sounds!

To hear the stream, right click on this link and open it with your MP3 playing software: http://icecast.awi.de:8000/PALAOA.MP3.m3u

I listened for about five minutes and heard some really cool stuff. Like static, grumbling ice, and faraway whales. Maybe that's not what it actually was, but it captured the imagination!
