The European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2 satellite monitors subtle changes in ice sheet thickness in Antarctica and Greenland.

Satellites reveal 85 new lakes beneath Antarctica’s ice, exposing a shifting underworld that influences glaciers and future sea-level rise.

Data from ESA's Cryosat-2 satellite has revealed 85 never-before-seen, active subglacial lakes buried beneath Antarctica's ice — 58% more than were previously known.

Scientists have just discovered 85 never-before-seen active lakes buried beneath Antarctica's ice — and they’re not just sitting still. These lakes drain and refill over time, causing glaciers above ...

These hidden lakes were found using over 10 years of data from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat satellite.

Hidden beneath the biggest ice mass on Earth, hundreds of subglacial lakes form a crucial part of Antarctica's icy structure, affecting the movement and stability of glaciers, and consequentially ...

Scientists have identified 85 previously unknown subglacial lakes beneath Antarctica, which could enhance climate and sea level rise predictions.

When the author finds solitude and inspiration onboard a ship in the Antarctic, they realise they’re at home among the ...

For now, the hidden lakes of Antarctica remain out of reach for direct exploration. But thanks to satellites, scientists are piecing together the secret life of water beneath the world’s largest ice ...

Earlier in 2025, UNSW Sydney Ph.D. candidate Christina Schmidt submitted her thesis—from the deck of Australia's multi-billion-dollar icebreaker, just off the East Antarctic coast. Schmidt's research ...
