NASA satellite reveals hummingbird-shaped secret beneath Antarctica's ice

NASA satellite spots a 'hummingbird' in Antarctica, and it's really a mountain ripping through ice

A radar image from Antarctica is getting noticed for a surprising visual: The icy scene seems to contain the outline of a hummingbird. What looks like a bird is actually a mountain breaking through flowing ice, a formation that also gives scientists insight into how the continent's ice moves. What's happening? Scientists used data gathered by U.S. and Indian teams from two radar instruments aboard the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) s…

NASA-ISRO NISAR Uncovers Antarctic Hummingbird

NASA’s NISAR satellite has captured an unusual radar image revealing a frozen landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice that resembles a hummingbird with outstretched wings. The striking formation is not a naturally carved shape but the result of a mountain disrupting the slow movement of glacial ice. The image is centred on Nunatak Zaterjesshyjsja, a rocky mountain peak in East Antarctica that rises above the surrounding ice. While the mountain remain…
