"This is like seeing a map of all the oceans' currents for the first time. It's a game changer for glaciology," said Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and the University of California (UC), Irvine. Rignot is lead author of a paper about the ice flow published online Thursday in Science Express. "We are seeing amazing flows from the heart of the continent that had never been described before."

Interesting that though it wasn't discovered until recently we have ancient maps with Antarctica on them.

square, you might want to hide that map, a puke might compare the new one with it and say Antarctica has actually grown in size, (I am almost certain they will)
