Scientists have made remarkable discoveries beneath Antarctica's million-year-old ice, revealing ancient landscapes, subglacial lakes teeming with unique microbial life, and a network of volcanoes.

Glacier melt drives sea level rises and intensifies climate change, because of the loss of ice that reflects rather than absorbs sunlight. Flooding and later drought risks can also rise.

A glacier in Antarctica is committing 'ice piracy' -- stealing ice from a neighbor -- in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short time frame, say scientists.
