A scientific study identified 85 subglacial lakes hitherto unknown in Antarctica, thanks to more than a decade of observations of the Cryosat satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA).This technology allowed a team of universities in the United Kingdom to detect alterations on the surface of the ice that revealed the existence of five interconnected networks of bodies of water under the icy continent.Mysterious finding under a lake: archaeolo…
It looks like a still continent, a compact block of eternal ice. And instead, Antarctica continues to reveal surprises: under its miles of ice flow, accumulate and...
85 new subglacial lakes detected below Antarctica
Hidden beneath the biggest ice mass on Earth, hundreds of subglacial lakes form a crucial part of Antarctica's icy structure, affecting the movement and stability of glaciers, and consequentially influencing global sea level rise.

Hidden under the largest mass of Earth's ice, hundreds of subglacial lakes form a crucial part of the frozen structure of Antarctica, affecting the movement and stability of glaciers and, consequently, influencing the global rise in sea level. Thanks to a decade of data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat satellite, researchers have identified 85 previously unknown lakes several kilometres below the frozen surface surrounding the South Pole…
Kilometers deep beneath the Antarctic ice, 85 lakes have been discovered thanks to measurements from the European CryoSat satellite. A total of 231 lakes are now known to exist beneath the Antarctic ice.
