A hidden world beneath Antarctica’s ice: 34 million years of preserved history

Deep beneath over a mile of ice in East Antarctica, scientists have uncovered an extraordinary hidden landscape—an ancient world of rivers, valleys, and possibly even forests, all untouched by sunlight for over 34 million years. Discovered in Wilkes Land, a remote part of Antarctica the size of Belgium, this pristine terrain is like cracking open a time capsul from Earth’s deep past.

Usingsatellite imageryand ice-penetrating radar, researchers revealed a landscape spanning 12,000 square miles, similar in size to Maryland. The terrain features three massive highland blocks separated by valleys that plunge nearly 4,000 feet deep. This part of Antarctica, once part of the supercontinent Gondwana, likely boasted flowing rivers and dense forests under a mild climate. Palm tree pollen found along the coast further supports this lush history.

Over millions ofyears, as Antarctica drifted toward the South Pole, the climate shifted dramatically. Falling carbon dioxide levels and ocean current changes triggered an ice age, which gradually froze the land. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet sealed the region 14 million years ago, preserving it remarkably well.
Today, researchers are excited to explore this preserved ancient world, providing crucial insights into how Antarctica’s ice sheets formed and how they might respond to global warming. Despite the challenges of drilling through thick ice, scientists are eager to piece together the secrets of this lost world.

InNorway, a simple yet effective innovation is helping protect bird populations — painting wind turbine blades with distinctive patterns to reduce collisions. Wind farms, while vital for clean energy, can pose risks to birds that may not see the spinning blades in time. To address this, researchers and conservationists have discovered that painting one blade black or adding contrasting patterns increases visibility, making the turbines easier for birds to detect and avoid.
This approach has shown promising results, significantly reducing bird strikes without affecting the efficiency or performance of the turbines. The visual contrast disrupts the motion blur effect caused by rapidly spinning blades, giving birds a better chance to change course. It’s an affordable and low-maintenance solution that bridges the gap between renewable energy production and wildlife conservation.
