Peter was full of questions. “How did it survive here?” he wondered, imagining all the ways something could endure in such harsh conditions. And why the top of the iceberg? It seemed the riskiest place on this slowly melting chunk of ice. Despite the obvious danger, it was there, a sign of life where you would least expect it, in the middle of the biting cold.
