Giant Fan-Shaped Geological Formation Discovered Under East Antarctica's Ice
Scientists have discovered a massive geological formation hidden beneath the ice sheet of East Antarctica. The structure, named the East Antarctic Fan-Shaped Basin Province, links several previously known underground basins into one connected system. The find reshapes scientific understanding of how the ancient supercontinent Gondwana broke apart millions of years ago. Researchers say the discovery also has implications for studying how Antarctica's ice sheet behaves in the context of climate change. The revelation suggests East Antarctica has a far more dynamic geological history than scientists had previously assumed.
