The 'ghost' of ancient river-carved landscape discovered has been preserved beneath the East Antarctic ice sheet since the continent froze over 34 million years ago.

According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per ...

Naturally, the land beneath that massive sheet of ice is of great interest to the scientific community, both for its own sake and for the data we could glean about climate change and ocean levels.
