Scientists Discover Over 300 Submarine Canyons Beneath Antarctica, Revealing New Insights into Ocean Dynamics and Ice Shelf Melting

A team of researchers has discovered a network of 332 submarine canyons beneath Antarctica, reshaping our understanding of how the continent interacts with global ocean systems. The canyons, some as deep as 4,000 meters, play a crucial role in ocean currents and the movement of sediment, water, and ... [More info]

332 Hidden Canyons Discovered Under Antarctica – And They Could Be Accelerating Climate Change…

for much deliberation

Enlite IAS May 11

Why in the News? Today, we plunge into the mysterious world of Submarine Canyons—deep underwater valleys that shape the ocean floor and hold clues to Earth’s geologic and climatic past.

These steep-sided canyons, often linked to river mouths like the Ganges and Indus, act as natural pipelines moving sediments from the continental shelf to the deep sea.
