Scientists have found evidence of rivers and lakes below the icy surface of a body in our solar system. No, not that icy body. Nor that icy body. This icy body.
Rivers as big as the Thames in England that may connect sub-glacial lakes have been found deep under the Antarctic ice, scientists said on Wednesday.
British researchers who discovered the plumbing system that moves water hundreds of miles said it challenges the notion that the lakes under the Antarctic ice evolved independently and could support ancient life.
