The Final Result
After the researchers knew how much matter was entering and exiting the continent’s valleys and at what speed this was happening, these experts were able to collect all the data they needed. This information was fundamental in filling in the gaps of the map.
Putting It Together
By the researchers establishing the ice volume in Antarctica’s various valleys, they were able to learn more about the systems of the frozen continent. Due to this, these scientists were armed with all the information they needed even to predict the precise shape and contours of the valley floor.
