Scientists have discovered an ancient landscape hidden beneath the ice sheet in East Antarctica. Using satellite data and ice-penetrating radar, researchers mapped 32,000 square kilometers and found a landscape that was formed by rivers before the ice sheet developed. The well-preserved nature of the landscape provides valuable insights into the stability of the East Antarctic ice sheet and suggests that Earth's climate is heading towards conditions similar to those when the landscape first emerged millions of years ago.
