Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I roto i te papa nui, ma o Antarctica, he toto whero whakaharahara te toto o tētahi hukapapa. E mōhiotia ana ko Blood Falls, ko te tae whakaharahara i ahu mai i te waipiro rino-taimaha e rua miriona tau te pakeke i mau ki raro i te huka. Inaianei, mō te wā tuatahi, kua tangohia e ngā pūtaiao ngā tauira kāore i whakapoke i raro i te huka ki te tūmanako kia kitea he oranga moroiti. I roto i te papa nui, ma o Antarctica, he toto whero whakaharahara te toto o tētahi hukapapa. E mōhiotia ana ko Blood Falls, ko te tae whakaharahara i ahu mai i te wai moana rino-taimaha e rua miriona tau te pakeke i mau ki raro i te huka. E whakapono ana rātau ko ngā 'extremophiles' e noho ana pea i raro i te mata, he mea ahurei pea i roto i tō rātau kaha ki te ora, ā, ka āwhina pea rātau ki te rapu i te ora ā iwi kē i runga i ētahi atu aorangi. I tonoa e nga kaipūtaiao i mua tata nei he pūtirotiro ki roto i te hukapapa o Taylor Glacier hei tango i nga tauira tote o te wai mai i te uaua matua e whangai ana i te waahanga whero-whero. 'He tauira whakamīharo tēnei hei tākaro,' i kī a Jill Mikucki, he kaiāwhina i te pouako o te pūtaiao moroiti i te Whare Wānanga o Tennessee ki The Antarctic Sun. I whakamārama mai e ia ko te tae whero matotoru o Blood Falls i takea mai e te rerenga o te waiwai, he waiwai, he waiwai, he waiwai. Ka whakarerekētia tōna matū e ngā huakita, e huri ana i ngā pūhui huka me te rino kia ora ai. Kei te whakaahuahia te puni whakangungu i runga ake o Taylor Glacier. Ko te tae whero pouri o Blood Falls na te tukunga o te wai rino-taonga, wairewa wairewa.Ko tana matū ka whakarerekehia e te kitakita, ka huri i te huka me te rino kia ora ai. Ko te kaupapa Midge (Minimally Invasive Direct Glacial Exploration), i arahina e te Ahorangi Mikucki kua whakawhanakehia he rangahau ahurei, i tapaina ko EnEx-IceMole. Kei te pikitia te IceMole kua rite mo te mahi. Ka waikura te wai ki te mata, ka puta he tae whero toto. Engari hei ako ake mo te huakita, ka hiahiatia e nga kaiputaiao nga tauira kua waikura. Ko te kaupapa Midge (Minimally Invasive Direct Glacial Exploration), i arahina e te Ahorangi Mikucki i whakawhanake i tētahi whakamātautau ahurei, i huaina ko EnEx-IceMole. He rite tonu ki te pouaka whakarewa tapawhā me te upoko parahi me te kurupae hukapapa ka taea te rewa i roto i te hukapapa,....
Ko Blood Falls he rerenga mai o te wai tote i poke i te waikura rino i Antarctica. Ko ngā rauropi e noho ana i reira kua kaha ki te ora i roto i ngā āhuatanga tino nui. Ka taea e tō rātou kaha ki te ora te āwhina i te rapunga mō te ora ā-iwi i roto i tō tātou pūnaha rā. Mo te wā tuatahi, kua mau i ngā pūtaiao tētahi tauira kāore i pāngia. Kei te tātarihia ināianei hei ako anō mō ēnei mea nui rawa atu.
