New Map Reveals a Hidden Landscape Beneath Antarctica's Ice

New map of landscape beneath Antarctica unveiled
The most detailed map yet of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been assembled by a team of international scientists led from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
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.
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.

This map, which shows glaciers and tributaries in patterned flows, was created using the same data that Stanford researchers used to train an AI model that revealed some of the fundamental physics governing the large-scale movements of the Antarctic ice sheet.
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.
Antarctica’s hidden ice dynamics will redefine sea level projections
As the planet heats up and Antarctica’s ice sheet melts at a faster pace, scientists warn of a steady rise in sea levels.
AI reveals new insights into the flow of Antarctic ice
As the planet warms, Antarctica's ice sheet is melting and contributing to sea-level rise around the globe. Antarctica holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by 190 feet, so precisely predicting how it will move and melt now and in the future is vital for protecting coastal areas.
