Moving Water (IMAGE) Columbia Climate School Caption Scientists have discovered that seasonally flowing streams fringe much of Antarctica's ice. Each red 'X' represents a separate drainage.

Their widespread presence signals that the ice may be more vulnerable to melting than previously thought. Credit Adapted from Kingslake et al., Nature 2017 Usage Restrictions Credit must be given.
