And the key questions for making such predictions are: Just where is the subglacial water? 而要做出預(yù)測的關(guān)鍵問題包括:冰下的水到底在哪里?
The discovery of subglacial lakes has fundamentally changed the way investigators think about water underneath the ice. 冰下湖泊的發(fā)現(xiàn),徹底改變了研究者對冰底下的液態(tài)水的想法。
The finding is the first time subglacial lakes have been directly linked to accelerated surface flow. 這項發(fā)現(xiàn),首次確定了冰下湖泊與冰的加速流動有直接關(guān)聯(lián)。
But Vostok and the other subglacial lakes were thought to be natural museums, isolated from the rest of the world millions of years ago. 過去,東方湖與其他冰下湖泊被認為是大自然的博物館,從數(shù)百萬年前便與世隔絕。
Blood Falls, a small, saltwater outflow from Taylor Glacier's subglacial lake in Antarctica's Dry Valleys, offers an alternative. 南極干谷中泰勒冰川下面的湖泊流出細小的咸水流,被稱為“血色瀑布”,為研究人員提供了一個可以利用的研究方法。
