Robot Proves Antarctic Ice Thicker than Thought

Robot Proves Antarctic Ice Thicker than Thought:

"On Monday, the team responsible for the study asserted in the journal Nature Geoscience, "We suggest that thick ice in the near-coastal and interior pack may be under-represented in existing in situ assessments of Antarctic sea ice and hence, on average, Antarctic sea ice may be thicker than previously thought." SeaBED traversed both east and west Antarctica, taking measurements across 50 hectares and finding ice as much as 16 m"
