The Structures Beneath Antarctica Are No Longer Theoretical

For decades, the continent has been framed as a geological outlier, locked under kilometers of ice, detached from human history, and largely irrelevant to questions of civilization. That framing is no longer holding. Not because of speculation, but because the instruments we now deploy beneath the ice are returning data that refuses to behave as expected.
