Scientific paper
The science surrounding missions to the outer planets has been dominated by geophysics. However, a mission to Europa, the top mission priority from the last decade and a uniquely compelling mission for flight in this decade, represents a search explicitly for a "habitable world." A comprehensive dialogue about life in the ice is critical since habitability is not singularly defined by shell thickness or the existence of water. Here, we present evidence from the Earth's cryosphere for life adapted to ice and how habitability can be remotely quantified, discuss implications for the ice shell, and demonstrate how radar sounding opens the door for answering the question: can life exist in Europa's ice?
