As per a new report by researchers, massive channels of ice have been found under floating ice shelf in Antarctica. These huge ice channels have been predicted as the future of the South Pole's ice sheets.

Researchers compared these massive channels of ice to that of The Eiffel Tower. They said that the massive ice channels are equal to that of the height of The Eiffel Tower.

Researchers from the British Antarctic in Cambridge and five UK-based Universities had conducted a survey through the use of satellite and airborne radar. They discovered these giant ice channels in their survey.

The five UK-based Universities include the University of Exeter, Newcastle University, University of Bristol, University of Edinburgh, and University of York.

Anne Le Brocq, from the University of Exeter, said: "The information gained from these newly discovered channels will enable us to understand more fully how the water system works and how the ice sheet will behave in the future".

Researchers after analyzing the images received from the satellite and the measurements from the radar said the huge ice channels can be spotted both on and below the surface of the ice shelf.

They also explained the reason for their presence that this happened because of the variations in the thickness of the ice.
