Verglas

A frozen ocean moon circling a giant planet, sealed under a kilometres-thick ice shell that blocks nearly all sunlight. Tidal flexing keeps a dark, salty sea liquid beneath the ice, warmed and fed by mineral-rich vents on the seabed. Gravity is light and the cold water oxygen-poor, so life clings to the under-ice ceiling above and the vent fields far below.
