Under Antarctica there is solid ground and mountains. It is not just an ice mass. The Gamburtsev mountains have perplexed scientists since their discovery in 1958. Now they have the answer. or so they think.
Befor plans or animals emerged on land, land masses smashed together and formed the arctic mountains. This is common. Over time they eroded but the deep hard cores of the mountains did not. When the super continent Gondwana broke apart it pushed these mountains upwards again. The glaciers began to form and then covered this land mass.
Also another cool thing I read today. There is a plan to create ionized plasma devices for third world countries to sterilize medical equipment, help would healing and kill bacteria in water. Inexpensive and practical. Pretty cool!
