Scientists Have Found the Lowest Land on Earth
The Earth's lowest known place is the Challenger Deep, almost 36,000 ft below the ocean's surface! But however incredible it may sound, dry land also has some extreme points which lie way, way lower than sea level. And the lowest of them, previously hiding under a massive glacier, has been discovered only recently!
Antarctica's massive ice sheet effectively hides the continent's mysteries. But scientists don't give up: they've been using radar equipment to crack Antarctica's riddles. And recently, their efforts have paid off!
