ANTARCTICA has been one of the world’s most special destinations ever since people started visiting, but it may have just gotten even more special.
A new map of the bedrock of Antarctica has revealed a hidden world of lakes, valleys, and mountains buried beneath kilometres of ice.
The map shows diverse geological features shaping Antarctic glaciers from below, which can improve climate models of ice melt, according to a new study published in academic journal Science, available to read HERE.
This polar landscape below the ice has long been one of the inner solar system’s least mapped planetary surfaces, with new research providing more intel into it in the past.
A clearer picture of this makeup could help scientists predict how ice changes in response to warming.
