Antarctica’s icy mantle hides a truly fantastical world, and we’re still trying to understand its contours. Case in point: a new study has revealed three monstrous canyons on par with the Grand Canyon. The discovery is both wow-worthy and vital to understanding what will happen to Antarctica’s ice as it melts.

 

Scientists have long wondered what’s under the ice near the South Pole. Ice-penetrating satellites have helped researchers get a grip on the bedrock in other parts of the Antarctic, but their paths don’t take them over the pole. The gap—dubbed the polar hole—is basically here be dragons territory for ice researchers.

 

But understanding the region’s under-ice topography is important, because it can tell researchers how the West and East Antarctic Ice Sheets—the continent’s two main stores of ice—interact with each other and how the rate of ice flowing to their margins may change. That’s particularly important in West Antarctica, where some coastal glaciers could be entering an extremely unstable state, increasing the risk of catastrophic sea level rise.

 

To get a grip on this under-ice terra incognita, scientists flew a plane with radar over the pole. The results, published this month in Geophysical Research Letters, show that in addition to the mountains the researchers expected to find, there are three gaping canyons between them, of which two have never been observed before.

Astronaut Alan Bean died over the weekend at the age of 86. As the lunar module pilot for the Apollo 12 mission, Bean was part of the second crew that landed on the Moon, and he became the fourth man to walk on the lunar surface. He later commanded the second crewed mission to America’s first space station, Skylab.

 

Bean was the last surviving member of the Apollo 12 mission, and following his death, only four Moonwalkers remain: Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17).

Bill Gray, a 75-year-old, Stanford-trained doctor based in California, claims on his website that he can treat almost any patient’s health problems through personalized, “homeopathic” audio recordings sent via email. But the California medical board is having none of it. Earlier this month, it filed a five-page complaint against Gray for behaving unprofessionally, setting the stage for a hearing that could strip Gray’s license to practice medicine.

 

Since at least 2015 (according to screen captures from the Wayback Machine), Gray has owned a website called mdinyourhands.com. On the site, he details his 44-year-long expertise in homeopathy.

 

Homeopathy is a quack theory of medicine that purports to treat sickness through the use of select substances that have been diluted in water. By diluting something like duck liver enough, the theory goes, you can activate its healing properties against influenza in the water itself. In reality, if done right, these mixtures are so diluted that there’s no trace of whatever substance was originally used. And when they aren’t prepared right, homeopathic products can be laced with fatal poisons. More than that, there’s never been an ounce of good research suggesting that homeopathic remedies are any better at treating illness than a simple placebo.

 

Gray takes the crankery up to another level, though. He hawks something called “eRemedies,” which are “electronic extractions of homeopathic remedies obtained directly from FDA approved pharmacies.”
