A study co-lead by Irina Gorodetskaya, a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center of Marine and Environmental Research, ...

Here’s how it works. A river longer than England's Thames flows beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, draining an area the size of France and Germany combined, new research reveals. This under-ice ...

There’s lots of water in Antarctica, but most of it is frozen. You’d be forgiven, then, for thinking that rivers aren’t really a thing on the continent – however, you’d be mistaken.

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

Almost 90% of Antarctica's land is covered in a thick layer of ice — around 1.3 miles (2.2 kilometers) deep, on average — and ...

Using cutting-edge regional climate models (RCMs) at a high spatial resolution of just one kilometer, the researchers explored how atmospheric rivers interact with Antarctica's rugged terrain to ...

But other recording runs in the river turned up far fewer creatures. This variability, he notes, is "part of the excitement." The worlds beneath Antarctica remain a mysterious place because ...

Antarctica has not always been a desolate land of ice and snow. Earth’s southernmost continent once was home to rivers and forests teeming with life. Using satellite observations and ice ...

The landscape has likely been buried beneath the ice for up to 34 million years. Global warming could reveal an ancient river landscape that has been preserved underneath the East Antarctic Ice ...

Languages: English. Swarms of crab-like creatures have been found in a river 1,600 feet beneath the ice in Antarctica. The discovery was a surprise to a team of New Zealand researchers ...
