Antarctica is covered with ice that is miles thick, and scientists have been studying what the continent's landscape looks like under all that ice for years. Bedmap3 comes 12 years after BAS ...
Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.
Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...
Sharper satellite images helped form the backbone of Bedmap3, which updates maps of icy Antarctica — particularly among the high mountains and isolated interior of the eastern part of the continent.
For all of human history, Antarctica has been ice-covered and desolate. Now, a new model shows the hidden continent beneath that ice.
Antarctica is known for being ice-covered with huge icebergs but emerging green patches are now reflecting the changing ecosystem of the region WION Here's what first continent-wide map tells ...
It's common knowledge that Earth's southernmost continent, Antarctica, has exceptionally cold temperatures. However, you might not know the scope of the continent's frigidity. Antarctica is one of ...
As the name of the map implies, this is the third effort to illustrate Antarctica’s rock bed. The project began in 2001, but the researchers involved say the new map represents a dramatic ...
To study the rapidly changing ecosystems of Antarctica, researchers have recently created the first continent-wide map of its plant life. You might expect the color palette of Antarctica to be ...
A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed. What's under all that ice in Antarctica? New map has answers.
