HNGN: Heat flowing from the base of the West Antarctic ice sheet is surprisingly high, a new study has revealed. Researchers at the University of California in Santa Cruz probed the sediments in the ice sheet in Antarctica and have uncovered that a flow of heat emanates from its geothermal sources below, according to a press release. The researchers, however, said that this is not a "new phenomenon" that can be attributed to climate change. "The ice sheet developed and evolved with the geothermal...
