Global warming could reveal an ancient river landscape buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet for a million years, according to a study. The author of the study and who researches ice sheet behavior at Durham University in the UK, Stewart Jamieson, told ABC News that for about 34 million years, ice has covered Antarctica. Before that, the continent had a comparatively warm climate similar to modern-day southern South America, such as the Patagonia region in Argentina and Chile.
