A massive, hidden reservoir lies beneath the Greenland ice sheet
In short: Glaciologist Kristin Poinar uses advanced technology to explore the mysteries of the melting Greenland ice sheet and investigate a vast, newly discovered underground aquifer.
The video explores the discovery of a massive aquifer hidden under the ice, which contains a volume of summer meltwater comparable to Lake Tahoe. Poinar examines whether this trapped water remains stationary or escapes to the ocean, potentially contributing to global sea level rise.
