An international team has discovered a massive fan-shaped province of 30 connected basins buried under East Antarctica's ice, revealing ancient secrets that could help predict how the ice sheet will move in the future. The structure may have formed before the supercontinent Gondwana broke apart millions of years ago.
Researchers discovered a massive fan-shaped network of basins beneath Antarctica's ice sheet, revealing that several famous features are actually connected. This finding could help predict how the ice sheet responds to climate change.
For the first time, researchers have created a high-resolution map revealing tens of thousands of hidden features beneath Antarctica's ice sheet. The discovery includes a massive 250-mile channel and could transform how we understand ice movement and climate change.
