Scientists explain massive open-water hole in Antarctic ice
Original: A Massive Hole Opened Up in Antarctica. Scientists May Have Finally Figured Out Why The open-water hole stretched across
A vast polynya, an area of open water in Antarctic sea ice, stretched across roughly 34,400 square miles, about the size of Portugal. Scientists now believe they have identified the physical processes behind its formation, potentially involving ocean currents and heat from deeper waters. The finding is drawing attention for what it reveals about polar ocean dynamics.
Why now: The sheer size of the hole and a new scientific explanation for it are drawing wide interest.
