Known as Bedmap3, the map incorporates more than six decades of survey data acquired by planes, satellites, ships and even dog-drawn sleds. The outline of deep valleys is better represented in the ...

The Antarctic ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent, averages around 1.2 miles in thickness, with its thickest point reaching nearly 3 miles, the Australian Antarctic Program reports.

Amazingly, researchers now know the height of every mountain and all the ice in all of Antarctica within a few feet. “It is the highest-resolution terrain map by far of any continent,” said Howat.

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.
