Antarctic Lakes

Here is some FOGS news.


"Lakes under massive Antarctic ice sheet surprise scientists"  in USA Today.

Project revealed that a previously unknown system of seemingly connected lakes lies 2300 feet under the massive streams of ice that move Antarctica's frozen water from the center of the continent to its coast.  The researchers do not understand the physics of it yet.


"Research shines some light on mysteries of Antarctica"  in the Washington Post, Sunday , Feb 18.  Pretty detailed and interesting article of two studies if anyone wants to look it up.


And, has anyone seen the Diesel (fashion brand) advertising --- for global warming ready clothing??


I guess the topic is pretty much mainstream now when some people in the advertising world jump on it.  The backgrounds for the ads show popular sights half submerged in water with young people wearing Diesel brand clothing for the warmer climate.
