Antarctic subglacial lakes

Four hidden lakes, seen from space

Lakes under kilometres of Antarctic ice fill and drain, making the ice surface rise and fall. Using free satellite laser altimetry (ICESat-2) and stereo elevation models (REMA), Cristian Andrade documented four active lakes that are absent from the published inventories checked. Each has its own page with the numbers, figures, DOI and live satellite tools.

All four are preprints and have not been peer reviewed. “Previously uncatalogued” means absent from every inventory and publication searched; an unpublished description cannot be excluded.
