In a Nature Geoscience study published in June 2026, researchers described a giant [...] The post Scientists have detected a giant fan-shaped structure buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, suggesting the frozen continent may be hiding the geological scars of the breakup that helped separate Antarctica from Australia appeared first on Space Daily .
