Everyone knows Antarctica is cold and icy, but what's underneath the ice has been a mystery. Scientists used six decades' worth of technology to take a peek.

A new detailed map of Antarctica is set to significantly improve predictions of how ice flows and melts in response to climate change, say the scientists behind the project.

The researchers behind the project say the new map gives a clearer picture of where mountains rise, canyons plunge, and—most importantly—where ice is most likely to move as the planet heats up.

Although a world of fire and ice might seem inhospitable, Dumusque doesn’t consider that a showstopper—especially, in fact, if HD 20794 d is more “planet ocean” than a supersized planet Earth.
