There’s a vast hidden structure buried deep beneath Antarctica. It’s not the ruins of a lost ancient civilization, though; it’s a nearly continent-sized network of hidden basins two miles beneath the surface.
According to the research team, this unique formation directly influences the movement of Antarctica’s massive sheet of ice. The network of hidden geological features determines where the glaciers overlaying it will flow, which makes studying it crucial for predicting how climate change will change the southern ice cap.
