Antarctica’s Pink Rocks Unveil Massive Hidden Granite Giant Beneath Pine Island Glacier

Unusual pink granite boulders, discovered atop Antarctica’s Hudson Mountains, have helped scientists make a significant discovery: they revealed a massive, previously unknown granite formation hidden deep beneath the Pine Island Glacier. This colossal structure extends nearly 100 kilometers in width and reaches 7 kilometers in thickness. By precisely dating these Jurassic-era rocks and correlating the obtained data with gravity signals recorded from the air, researchers were able to unravel a long-standing geological mystery concerning both the origin of these boulders and the underlying formation.
