Saturday morning at the hairdresser is a luxury opportunity to sit drinking coffee and catching up on some reading. Here's an incredible statistic I just read, especially for those who think there is nothing left to explore:
In #Antarctica we can map the base of the ice sheet using radio echo sounding from the surface or airborne by planes.
Only one third of the continent is within 5km of any measurement at all and many of these are very old measurements.
