Pretty cool, I figured it was relatively flat. Guess not.

Heard a little tid bit about Antarctica in general and how much ice forms during the winter months there every year while I was watching Whale Wars this past week. Every single day during their winter months down there when ice is forming, 40,000 SQUARE MILES of ice forms/gets added to the ice sheets around the continent. Over the entire ice forming season, the amount of new ice that forms is essentially equal in total area to the area of the continental United States

How are there liquid lakes, and rivers a mile under the ice?
My guess would be that the ice is acting like a giant insulator, keeping the lakes from freezing.

Loads of pressure from the ice helps.

Would it be fair to say that loads of pressure from the ice helps?
