Ancient River Landscape Discovered Beneath East Antarctic Ice Sheet

Antarctica
An ancient river landscape has been discovered beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
The discovery provides new insights into the history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its response to climate change.
The landscape is believed to have been formed by a network of rivers around 34 million years ago.

An ancient river landscape, believed to have been formed around 34 million years ago, has been discovered hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The discovery was made by a team of international scientists who used radar technology to map the subglacial topography. The landscape, which is said to be larger than the Grand Canyon, is thought to have been formed by a network of rivers that once flowed across the region. The rivers are believed to have carved deep channels into the bedrock, creating a complex network of valleys. The landscape was then covered by the East Antarctic Ice Sheet during a period of global cooling. The discovery of this ancient landscape provides new insights into the history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its response to climate change. The researchers believe that the landscape could have influenced the flow of ice over millions of years, affecting how the ice sheet responds to global warming. The study also highlights the importance of subglacial topography in understanding the behavior of ice sheets and predicting their future response to climate change.

Doubts
  • The exact age of the landscape is based on estimates and may not be completely accurate.
  • The impact of the ancient landscape on the current behavior of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is still a subject of research.
