A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed.

This map, which shows glaciers and tributaries in patterned flows, was created using the same data that Stanford researchers used to train an AI model that revealed some of the fundamental physics governing the large-scale movements of the Antarctic ice sheet.

As the planet warms, Antarctica's ice sheet is melting and contributing to sea-level rise around the globe. Antarctica holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by 190 feet, so precisely predicting how it will move and melt now and in the future is vital for protecting coastal areas.
