{"content":"Buried under 2 kilometers of Antarctic ice, scientists find a 34-million-year-old lost world Beneath the thick ice of East Antarctica lies a hidden world—untouched for over 34 million years. This frozen expanse, more than 10 million square kilometers wide, has long concealed a forgotten landscape. Now, using cutting-edge satellite tools, researchers have pulled back the curtain on a time when Antarctica teemed with life. Exposing the Secrets of a Hidden Land A team led by Stewart Jamieson at Durham University made the discovery with help from RADARSAT, a Canadian satellite system. The technology allowed them to detect small changes in the ice surface, revealing the shape of the land buried below. What they found was extraordinary: an ancient river-carved terrain about the size of Wales, locked under nearly two kilometers of ice. “It’s like uncovering a time capsule,” Jamieson said. The untouched condition of the landscape points to its extreme age. Preserved beneath the ice sheet’s crushing weight, the land remained unchanged since long before glaciation began. This hidden world dates back to a period when Antarctica was not the icy desert we know today. #nature #world #news #newsdaily #BinanceSquare ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025062025/06/06/113e497629da4804a6f7cd8567621f16.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
