NASA Study Suggests Microbial Life May Thrive Beneath Martian Ice
NASA's study explores how Martian ice could harbour life by creating meltwater pockets beneath the surface that allow photosynthesis. Dust within the ice might absorb sunlight, warming it enough to create these pockets. The findings highlight the possibility of microbial life in Mars’ tropical regions, where sunlight may penetrate deep into the i...

NASA's Study Suggests Life Could Thrive Beneath Ice in Mars
NASA's latest study proposes that meltwater beneath Mars' icy surface could sustain microbial life. Researchers utilised advanced computer modelling to demonstrate that sunlight can penetrate water ice enough to allow photosynthesis in shallow meltwater pools. These pools, which may form in the Martian tropics, could provide a protective environmen...

Antarctica Has Mountain Ranges Bigger Than Manhattan Deep Beneath Its Ice
A team of British researchers used "ice penetrating radar" to map the sub glacial landscape, which they say adds a key piece of evidence to understand the frozen continent's past, present and future behavior. The researchers discovered three valleys linking Antarctica's two major parts: the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet and the far bigger Eastern Ant...
