Caption
Scientists have discovered that seasonally flowing streams fringe much of Antarctica's ice. Each red 'X' represents a separate drainage. Up to now, such features were thought to exist mainly on the far northerly Antarctic Peninsula (upper left). Their widespread presence signals that the ice may be more vulnerable to melting than previously thought.
