Scientists Uncover Secret Landscape Hiding Miles Below Antarctica's Ice
By creating a new map of Antarctica’s subterranean landscape, researchers have uncovered a vast topography of previously hidden hills, ridges, and even entire mountain ranges lurking miles beneath its frozen exterior. The findings, detailed in a new study published in the journal Science, could represent a novel method of probing the Antarctic ice that could be instrumental in predicting the frigid continent’s fate amid rapid climate change. “It…
MADRID. – The surface of Mars was photographed by Mars Global Surveyor between 1996 and 2001. All its valleys and mountains are known with a spatial resolution of up to 50 meters. Venus’s map was mapped by Magellan as early as 1989. The maps obtained show details up to 100 meters. Mercury’s images captured by the Messenger spacecraft since 2011 have achieved resolutions of up to 665 meters. However, here on Earth, the resolution of maps of the r…
A new map revealed outstanding details of the land hidden under the ice of Antarctica, which will help researchers understand much better the relief of the frozen continent and how it will be affected by climate change.
Hidden under a thick white coat, Antarctica covers a complex rock landscape, formed by mountains, valleys and old drainage channels. This discovery, covered by up to five kilometers of ice, is being more precisely revealed thanks to the observation techniques by satellite and physical modeling, becoming an essential part to understand the behavior of...

Scientists have presented the most detailed map that has been made so far under the Antarctica ice, removing a complex and hidden landscape, according to Express. Discovery provides essential information on how the world's largest ice mass could react as the climate continues to worsen. Up until now, researchers knew less about the relief of Antarctica than about the surface of the planet Mart. This lake exists because of the technical difficult…
