Scientists have discovered a massive canyon beneath Greenland's ice sheet using ice-penetrating radar. The canyon, over 400 miles long and up to half a mile deep, predates the ice sheet. It was found by a team led by the University of Bristol, using data from UK and German airborne campaigns and NASA's Operation Ice Bridge.
