"The more we know about Earth's icy environments, the better we will be able to understand the other environments," said ...

Underneath Antarctica’s endless sheets of ice lies a hidden world of deep valleys, towering peaks, and sprawling plains. For ...

Last week, the BAS released Bedmap3, "the most detailed map yet" of Antarctica's landscape beneath its blanket of ice, a press release about the map said. Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ...

A team of international scientists compiled decades of data to create a map showing the topography of Antarctica with the ice ...

The new map is color coded to show the height of Antarctica's bedrock above sea level, highlighting the continent's tallest mountains and deepest valleys. The topography is revealed in the finest ...

Never seen, perhaps, but that doesn't mean forever to remain unknown. For years, the British Antarctic Survey has been flying ...

Maps of Antarctic topography with restorations for removal of the load of modern ice only (left), and additionally for erosion, sedimentation, thermal contraction, and horizontal plate motion in ...

The landscape of the rock bed under Antarctica's ice is sensed by a variety of techniques, including radar, seismic reflection (sound waves) and gravity measurements. Subtracting this topography ...

Enhanced westerly winds associated with global warming will strengthen the clockwise circulations and heat transport to the ...

He explains that Antarctica’s buried topography greatly influences how ice moves toward the ocean. “Imagine pouring syrup over a rock cake— all the lumps, all the bumps, will determine where ...
