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.

The map shows a clear view of the icy continent, as though its 27 million cubic km of ice had been removed, revealing unseen hidden locations of the tallest mountains and the deepest canyons.

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.

Experts have revealed Antarctica is “more vulnerable” than previously feared, as a new map reveals what lays under the ice. The estimates, created by Bedmap3, have also re-evaluated the ...
