HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Just when you think polar regions are nothing but frozen wastelands, geology reveals hundreds of liquid lakes hiding thousands of feet beneath the ice sheet. Geothermal heat from the bedrock gently melts the bottom of the glaciers, creating pitch-black, pressurized lakes that have been completely sealed off from the surface for millions of years.
