Supposed to be the rocks under the ice.

Supposed to be the rocks under the ice.

The thing that gets me is, there appears to be a fairly regular
grid of depressions. This is most apparent in the centre-right
and just above centre in the picture. Blue-dot blue-dot blue-dot
all about the same size and seeming to sit in a rectangular grid.

How did this grid come to be in this picture? Is it real or is it
an artefact of the mapping process?

Very interesting and thank you for that link... the areas in blue in
that X-ray satellite shots reconstituted in a whole South Pole
arrangement are in fact representing melt water under the
Inlandsis ...

Some of the fresh water seas & seas is the correct name
indeed were detected last year by a team from the Colorado University

& only as recently as last month an Australian Survey ship on its way
back from an Antarctica voyage with an International scientific team
onboard admitted a very worrying softening of sea water there.

Obviously the inland melt is reaching the sea and I have personally
counted over 50 drainage lines running through thousand of miles from
the 9,301 ft high Transantarctic Mountains.

I have said on some other post that my estimate for sea rise that very
Xmas in Australia was 1 m... and all pointers confirming that estimate
indeed

You're making shit up.

The map was made from data fromhttp://www.antarctica.ac.uk

"Own model based on data provided by BEDMAP Consortium, available athttp://www.antarctica.ac.uk/aedc/bedmap/download/"

Here's a map from that site:http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/about_antarctica/geography/maps/Misc%209%...

Is that Colorado State at Fort Collins, Colorado University Boulder, or
University of Colorado Denver? Maybe you mean UCLA (University of
Colorado between Lawrence and Arapahoe)?

back from an Antarctica voyage with an International scientific team
onboard admitted  a very worrying softening of sea water there.

"Personally"? When were you there?

How high will the sea level rise be on the rest of the planet?

Never heard of the Antarctica "Moulins", Timberwood ?
# The Continental Ice loss at the Antarctic is equivalent to the one
loss in Arctic.
# The investigation of those huge fresh water lakes & seas forming
under the Ice shelves were conducted by Colorado Unversity, Boulder.
# Your link to the British Antarctic Survey do not reveal the reality
behind such investigation ... Mining Prospecting indeed especially in
the Larsen Peninsula ( but this is hushed up of course) , Incidentally
do you know what is the most common mineral found on those Antarctica
beaches ? Well Peridot for your info !
Interesting, Hey ?
