The discovery could offer a glimpse into how extreme climate change could alter the planet. Scientists stunned after discovering massive river system in Antarctica: 'This is exciting' first appeared on The Cool Down.

New findings indicate East Antarctica began glaciating 34 million years ago, unlike West Antarctica which remained ice-free longer. The study emphasizes regional differences in Antarctica's ice response to climate shifts.

Dense broadleaf forests and a cool-temperate climate in West Antarctica prevented ice formation 34 million years ago.

A remarkable discovery was made by geologists, about the giant river in the ice of Antarctica. This year 40 million years old, this discovery is made by the collaborative efforts of the team of geologists led by Johann Klages.

Scientists have unearthed a 40-million-year-old ancient river system beneath Antarctica's ice sheets. This discovery, made by a team of geologists led by Johann Klages, sheds light on Earth’s climate past and its potential future implications.
