See today's front and back pages, download the newspaper, One viewer claimed that “a lot of strange things are going on in Antarctica”, mentioning “crashed UFOs” and “holes to middle earth”. Researchers say a massive cavity the size of two-thirds of Manhattan was found under a glacier in Antarctica. Dense cloud coverage has also played a role by trapping long-wave radiation and reflecting it towards the ice. Dr Banwell has previously shown how draining melt ponds contributed to the collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf in 2002.
