It turned out that contrary to popular belief, the temperature on the glacier is not growing, but falling.

The Ross ice shelf in Antarctica is melting, and freezing.

Such conclusions were made after in November, scientists from New Zealand have drilled a well depth of 300 meters at the ice shelf Ross.

This is stated in the article Popular Mechanics, writes Rus.Media.

Scientists from New Zealand have used the drill with the hot water to penetrate deep in the ice shelf of Antarctica. Measuring the temperature below the shelf, they expected that the ice will melt.

Instead, the water crystallized and froze. A video from National Geographic you can see the white dots of ice crystals when the camera falls into. If the shelf was melting a hole in this level b little smooth edges.

“It blew our minds,” said Christina Hulbe, glaciologist from the University of Otago in New Zealand, who led the project.

Scientists are left in the borehole devices to measure flow and temperature under the glacier for the next few years. The reasons for what exactly happens on the Ross ice shelf, will be clear after additional research. While it is possible to say that no catastrophic melting of the glacier in the near future will not.
