The root of the mysterious range of Antarctic mountains completely hidden under the continent’s massive ice sheet may be over 200 million years old, dating back to the dinosaur age, scientists have claimed.
Researchers, on a project to understand the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains in east Antarctica better, said the mountains rise up to 10,000 feet above the planet’s surface, but are covered by up to 15,750 feet of ice.
