Geometric Patterns Beneath Antarctica Are Forcing Scientists to Rethink the Ice
New subglacial imaging from Wilkes Land reveals structures that do not behave like natural geology, and the timing is raising questions.
For decades, Antarctica has been treated as a continent locked away by ice and time. What lies beneath has been assumed to be inaccessible, unknowable, or simply irrelevant to human history. That assumption is beginning to crack.
Recent advances in ice-penetrating radar and subglacial imaging have revealed geometric patterns beneath the ice sheet in Wilk…
