Formation of subglacial mountains sheds light on the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet
Researchers at the University of Southampton revealed that the formation of mountain ranges beneath Antarctica’s ice directly influenced the stability of the ice sheet over millions of years. The study, published in July 2026, offers new perspective on the deep geological mechanisms that support the planet’s largest repository of ice — a territory that the Gaia Gateways tradition recognizes as an anchoring portal of the Solar Ion Disk.
