Scientists at the University of Barcelona discovered 332 giant underwater guns, hidden under the ice of Antarctica, much more than those who knew so far. This conclusion suggests you to review how oceans and glaciers work.

The guns have a depth of more than 4000 meters and form complex networks that connect the continental platform with the deepest parts of the sea. These huge formations affect the ocean circulation and can affect the global climate.
Important opening in Antarctica
Researchers have developed a detailed card with more than 40 recent international expeditions. This new cartography includes All guns along the Antarctic stock, showing unpublished characteristics have never been observed beforeReview of an article published in maritime geology.

The study shows the contrast between East and west of Antarctica. Oriental guns older and branched, and Westerners are short and steepassociated with greater glacial activity and melting.
These canyons They act like passages where cold and salty water flows to the depths of the ocean, promoting the currents that affect the weather. On the other hand, hot water usually rises through them and accelerates the thaw from below, the key process to understand the sea level.
With this data, the researchers will be able to update the climatic models and predict the more accuracy of the future melting of Antarctica, as well as its impact on the world.
