Unseen mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers lie under Antarctica’s mile-thick ice sheet. Changes to those hidden rivers could have dramatic global consequences.

The results include numerous subglacial lakes developing below ice streams in both East and West Antarctica, and an extensive network of subglacial water channels that discharge large fluxes of ...

This is the first research in which experts incorporated the factor of 'subglacial plumbing' to analyse retreating Antarctica's glaciers.

Lake Vostok is the largest of 375 or so subglacial lakes in Antarctica. It is also the fourth deepest lake on Earth, with depths reaching 800 meters from the lake’s surface, itself covered by 2 miles ...

Research into Antarctica's network of dynamic subglacial lakes helped shape a Code of Conduct, enabling scientific discovery without compromising these unique habitats. Research led by Professor ...

It lies about 2.4 miles beneath the surface and is the largest in a web of nearly 400 known subglacial lakes in Antarctica. The lake is warmed underneath by geothermal energy. The drilling in the area ...
