Scientists Discovery Antarctica 2024. Large swathes of east antarctica experienced temperatures up to 40°c (104°f) above normal, shattering temperature records. Satellite radar data show warm seawater intruding kilometers beneath the glacier, causing vigorous melting and rising ice.
By sending sound waves into the warming seas around antarctica, an underwater robot has given scientists a detailed new look at the melting undersides of the continent’s giant. A massive underwater canyon has been discovered in antarctica by acousticians on board icebreaker rsv nuyina.
