A Science-on-Hudson lecture by Robin Bell, Research Professor, Columbia University
Antarctica often appears as a boring white fringe along the map edge, featureless except for cartoon oversized penguins. This large piece of ice, up to 2 miles thick, is ancient, beautiful, and unforgiving. Antarctic ice hides giant lakes, magnificent mountains ranges, and rivers where the water flows uphill. Because the ice sheet flow is controlled what is under the ice, understanding these hidden terrains is essential to projecting how fast Antarctica will make sea level rise around the world as temperatures rise.
