What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the in-his-house-at-r'lyeh-dead-cthulhu-waits-dreaming dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Ice has covered Greenland for millions of years. So what's hidden under this ice cap? Mountains and valleys? Rivers and lakes? Of course, we might know it sooner than we would have liked if the ice covering Greenland continues to melt. But researchers from Ohio State University have decided that they wanted to know it next year and have developed a radar to reveal views of land beneath polar ice. Their first tests of this new radar, which helps them to catch 3-D images of the ground under the ice, took place in May 2006. The next images will be shot in April 2007. Here are some images of the new GISMO device and what it can do."

    I'd say that iPods are hidden underneath the ice

    I'd say that all the evidence of Steve Jobs' corporate cover up and the lack of reportage about it on geek sites. Apple: Another Enron? Well, maybe not, but at least another scum-bag at the top of a corporation.

    Troll? - No, If it were a troll I would expect a reply. It's actually flamebait disgused as information.
