West Antarctica's subglacial plumbing system mapped from space
A network of rapidly filling and emptying lakes lies beneath at least two of West Antarctica's ice streams, new research suggests. view more (2007-02-16)
Study Finds Subglacial Water in West Antarctica Considerably More Active Than Previously Observed
The recent discovery of a subglacial water system beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) is causing scientists to rethink the mechanisms that control the flow of ice streams into the Ross Ice Shelf and ultimately into the Southern Ocean, according to a report in the February 15, 2007, issue of... view more (2007-02-16)
Antarctic Ice Sheet's Hidden Lakes Speed Ice Flow Into Ocean, May Disrupt Climate
Just as explorers once searched the vast reaches of Africa's Nile River for clues to its behavior and ultimate source, modern-day scientists are searching Antarctica for its hidden lakes and waterways that can barely be detected at the surface of the ice sheet. view more (2007-03-07)
Discovery of Antarctic subglacial rivers may challenge excavation plans
Plans to drill deep beneath the frozen wastes of the Antarctic, to investigate subglacial lakes where ancient life is thought to exist, may have to be reviewed following a discovery by a British team led by UCL (University College London) scientists at the Natural Environment Research Council... view more (2006-04-20)
First evidence of under-ice volcanic eruption in Antarctica
The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica's most rapidly changing ice sheet is reported this week in the journal Nature Geosciences. The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet erupted 2000 years ago (325BC) and remains active. view more (2008-01-21)
Scientists probe Antarctic glaciers for clues to past and future sea level
Scientists from the U.S., U.K. and Australia have teamed up to explore two of the last uncharted regions of Earth, the Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins, immense ice-buried lowlands in Antarctica with a combined area the size of Mexico. view more (2008-10-28)
Two new lakes found beneath Antarctic ice sheet
The Earth Institute at Columbia University-Lying beneath more than two miles of Antarctic ice, Lake Vostok may be the best-known and largest subglacial lake in the world, but it is not alone down there. view more (2006-01-26)
Exploration of lake hidden beneath Antarctica's ice sheet begins
A four-man science team led by British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) Dr Andy Smith has begun exploring an ancient lake hidden deep beneath Antarctica's ice sheet. view more (2008-01-16)
Study of underground lakes in Antarctica could be critical, prof says
The discovery of interconnected lakes beneath kilometers of ice in Antarctica could be one of the most important scientific finds in recent years, but proper procedures need to be established before investigation begins, says a Texas A&M University scientist who is a leader in the research... view more (2007-06-06)
Microbes under Greenland Ice may be preview of what scientists find under Mars' surface
A University of California, Berkeley, study of methane-producing bacteria frozen at the bottom of Greenland's two-mile thick ice sheet could help guide scientists searching for similar bacterial life on Mars. view more (2005-12-15)
