New Map Reveals a Hidden Landscape Beneath Antarctica's Ice

New Map Reveals a Hidden Landscape Beneath Antarctica’s Ice—And It’s More at Risk Than Ever
A groundbreaking new map,Bedmap3, has provided the most detailed view yet of the hidden landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet, revealing towering mountains, deep valleys, and critical grounding lines where ice meets the ocean.
New map shows Antarctica without its ice
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has released the most detailed map yet of what Antarctica looks like when you strip away its ubiquitous cover of ice and snow. Derived from 60 years of data, it will help scientists understand ice flows better.
This Is What Antarctica Would Look Like Without Its Ice
There are few frontiers in the world that can still be said to be unexplored. One of these terra incognita is the land beneath Antarctica’s ice sheets. Buried under kilometres of ice is a fascinating realm of canyons,
What's under all that ice in Antarctica? New map has answers.
A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed.
World hidden beneath Antarctic ice reveals staggering reality: 'Greater risk'
"In general, it's become clear the Antarctic Ice Sheet is thicker than we originally realised and has a larger volume of ice that is grounded on a rock bed sitting below sea-level. This puts the ice at greater risk of melting due to the incursion of warm ocean water that's occurring at the fringes of the continent,” he said.
Mapping Antarctica’s ocean floor to reveal climate secrets
Scientists from New Brunswick are part of Canada's expedition to Antarctica mapping the ocean floor trying to better understand what's happening to sea life and geological history as the climate warms and freshwater glaciers melt.
