quote [ Equatorial regions of the potentially life-supporting Europa, which harbors a huge ocean of salty liquid water beneath its icy shell, are probably studded with blades of ice up to 50 ft. (15 m) tall. This finding should be of interest to NASA, which is developing a lander mission that will hunt for signs of life on the Jovian moon. ]
This both raises and dashes NASA's hope of discovering ice lemurs.
Original paper in Nature Geosciences: "Formation of metre-scale bladed roughness on Europa’s surface by ablation of ice"
