Rock ridges along Marguerite Bay marking former glacier margins in Antarctica

Antarctic rocks provide new evidence of historical glacier changes

Audio narration · Coming soon

This research reveals that Antarctica's glaciers have been changing for a long time, predating modern observation tools like satellites and cameras. Scientists have studied ridges of rocks and debris along Marguerite Bay on the western Antarctic Peninsula, which mark former glacier margins, but until now lacked direct evidence about the timing of their formation.
