According to femalefirst, boffins studying newly-formed "gashes" on Greenland found that they are very similar to those found on Jupiter's moon Europa - which has long been of interest to alien hunters.

Greenland is a fertile breeding ground for the freaky jellyfish and scientists claim that Europa could be just as bountiful. 

Professor Dustin Schroeder, from California's University of Stanford, said: "Because it is closer to the surface - where you get interesting chemicals from space, other moons and the volcanoes of Io - there is a possibility life has a shot if there are pockets of water in the shell.

"If the mechanism we see in Greenland is how these things happen on Europa, it suggests there is water everywhere."
