Researchers Claim Vast Water Bodies Found Below Antarctica Glaciers
Researchers have found vast bodies of water underneath one of the biggest Antarctica glaciers, giving crucial insight into the possible outcomes of global climate change, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) has revealed.

Liquid Water Found On Mars: Underground Lake Discovery Makes Waves
Using a satellite to peer beneath layers of dust and ice at Mars' south pole, scientists have detected a 12-mile-wide span of briny water, a large, stable reservoir akin to lakes buried beneath the Antarctic ice sheet on Earth.

Large Hidden Lakes Found Draining Below Antarctic Glacier
Large hidden lakes beneath one of the planet's fastest-moving glaciers on the edge of West Antarctica are draining out at an unprecedented rate, a new study has found.

This Stunning Antarctic Lake Is Buried In Ice. And That Could Be Bad News
Atop the ice sheet covering the Arctic island of Greenland, you now see dramatic melting in the summer. It forms lakes, rivers and even dangerous "moulins" in the ice where rivers suddenly plunge into the thick ice sheet, carrying water deep below.

East Antarctic Ice Sheet Stayed Frozen For 14 Million Years
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) has remained frozen for the past 14 million years, according to researchers who used an innovative technique to date one of Antarctica's ancient lake deposits.

Russian scientists may have found new life under Antarctic ice
Russian scientists believe they have discovered new life forms sealed off for millions of years in a subglacial lake deep under the Antarctic ice, the RIA news agency reported on Thursday.

Life in Antarctic lake? It's everywhere else
If scientists find microbes in a frigid lake two miles beneath the thick ice of Antarctica, it will illustrate once again that somehow life finds a way to survive in the strangest and harshest places. And it will offer hope that life exists beyond Earth. Russian researchers reported Wednesday that they had reached Lake Vostok, a pristine body of wa...
