Examples
The same may have been possible on Mars, even in these subglacial channels.
Now, in a 2020 paper with Trista Vick-Majors , we learned that these subglacial lakes, Lake Whillans in particular, are literally feeding the oceans.
There was one who followed the course of a subglacial stream, and thus made a veritable journey below the enormous vault of ice.
In this work the freezing and thawing of subglacial waters in any cracks and crevices of the rock no doubt play an important part.
A torrent ran there—no doubt the superfluous waters of the lake escaping by this subglacial stream.
The courses of well-defined subglacial streams were tunnels.
It is not to be inferred, however, that the subglacial streams were altogether independent of the sub-ice topography.
