Exploratour - Life in the Solar System
Like other icy moons, Europa is small, with air to breathe. On the surface, the temperature is very very cold.
But, inside of Europa there may be liquid water under the surface.
On Earth, we know that there are some creatures which can survive in an environment of very cold water, such as under the ice of the north pole.
This means that, if the conditions are just right, there may be living creatures on Europa under the icy surface! Read more about this possibility be taking the Exploratour Does Euorpa have an Ocean?
