Original title: the deepest point of the earth's continent is found at the south pole, up to 3500 meters below sea level
Recently, foreign media said that the deepest point on the earth's continent has been found in Southeast Antarctica under the dengman glacier. The depth of this ice filled Canyon can reach 3.5 kilometers below sea level. Only in the ocean can there be a deeper canyon. In contrast, the lowest point of bare land on earth - the dead coast - is only 413 meters below sea level.
The discovery was marked on a new map of Antarctica that revealed in unprecedented detail the shape of bedrock beneath the ice sheet, the report said. This landscape will be crucial for understanding the possible changes in Antarctica in the future.
Dr. Mathieu moligm, a researcher at the University of California, Irvine, who has been working on the study for six years, said: 'this is undoubtedly the most accurate description of the landscape beneath the Antarctic ice sheet to date. 'the new map fundamentally fills in all the gaps in aerial mapping of the continent of Antarctica.
