50 lakes were discovered under the Greenland ice sheet

The discovery helps scientists better understand the mechanism of drainage under the ice layer, affecting the effects of global warming.

A new study from Lancaster University found that the number of lakes under the Greenland ice sheet was much higher than previously predicted. More than 50 lakes under thick ice were discovered by researchers in the Greenland ice sheet . This is the second largest ice sheet in the world, 7 times the size of the UK, playing an important role in controlling and regulating global sea level. In some areas of Greenland, the ice is more than 3 km thick.

These lakes will help scientists better understand the drainage mechanism under the ice . This mechanism involves how the ice sheets will react to global warming.

"Despite understanding the mechanism of filling and draining, few can understand the distribution and characteristics of lakes under the Greenland ice sheet," said researcher Jade Rowling.

This research helps scientists better understand where the lake is formed under the Greenland ice sheet. This is essential in determining the impact of these 50 lakes on the hydrological and hydrological systems of the entire band. Most of the new flows of found lakes move relatively slowly, only when the temperature rises, melting ice will make the flow faster.

These lakes have helped researchers find evidence of harsh life, thus discovering new sediment samples at the bottom of the lake for conservation as a proof of environmental change.
