85 Hidden Lakes Found Beneath Antarctica’s Ice — And They're Alive

Scientists have just discovered 85 never-before-seen active lakes buried beneath Antarctica's ice — and they’re not just sitting still. These lakes drain and refill over time, causing glaciers above to rise, sink, and even speed toward the ocean. Using data from the ESA’s CryoSat-2 satellite, this discovery reshapes our understanding of ice sheet movement and the threat of rising sea levels.

These hidden lakes form from geothermal and frictional heat, creating vast underground water networks. Some are stable like Lake Vostok, while others pulse with motion, silently shifting the future of our planet.

This groundbreaking discovery could change how we model climate change and prepare for what's ahead. :globe_showing_Europe-Africa:
