Deep beneath the ice in Antarctica, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery of mysterious structures up to 1,300 feet long. These never-before-seen shapes were found under the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, a massive 30-mile-wide ice chunk that is seven times the size of New York City.
The West Antarctic ice sheet, home to glaciers undergoing rapid calving, could potentially raise sea levels by 11 feet if the entire ice sheet collapses. Recent studies have shown that warm ocean water is eroding the ice shelf's edges, leading to its inevitable dislocation from the land.
