@antarcticsciaus.bsky.socialThis vast area of East #Antarctica holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by 3 to 4m.
Much of the basin lies deep below #sealevel, making it particularly vulnerable to rapid ice loss and self-sustaining retreat.
Yet today, scientists don’t know anyone who has been there.
@antarcticsciaus.bsky.social⛏️ OUT TODAY: new research led by ACEAS CI Prof Matt King @deformedearth.bsky.social and co-authors from 14 countries calls for an urgent, globally coordinated campaign to the Wilkes Subglacial Basin – arguably the last great unexplored frontier of #Antarctica ⬇️

@gongudottir.wsocial.euFor everyone who's now getting wide-eyed and a laughing fit – volcanoes and #Antarctica ...
Here's a new satellite image of a continuously active volcano very close to the two mentioned above – ongoing activity since 1972 ( lava lake )
@grandpajeff.bsky.socialin an age of people using ai to write text messages telling someone they'll be late for dinner. I was thrilled to find an human written article about #photography in #antarctica
I appreciate the authors view point and openness to multiple brands.

@talker.newsEarth's climate was so warm then that huge infernos regularly swept what is now snow and ice-covered Antarctica.
