Top 10 Recent Scientific Discoveries in Antarctica

From the time that explorers first glimpsed Antarctica in the early 1800s, people have wanted to know more about the mysterious frozen continent at the bottom of the world. What was underneath the ice? How could living things even exist in a place with such an extreme climate? Starting in the late 1950s, scientists began to probe Antarctica’s mysteries in earnest, with efforts such as the U.S. Antarctic Program and Antarctica New Zealand, which operates Scott Base. Over the three decades in particular, researchers have made scores of important discoveries. Here are 11 that are particularly insightful.
