We just learned about the Meltwater.
Another part of Antarctica is the Subglacial Lakes.
We know that sometimes the ice and snow melts and turns into ponds, rivers or lakes.
And sometimes these lakes are way deep down underneath the ice.
Antarctica has hundreds of lakes deep down underneath the glaciers, called "subglacial lakes".
The biggest one that has been discovered is Lake Vostok.
This is down underneath Vostok Station, and the water is over 2 miles below the ice.
Lake Vostok is 160 miles long, 30 miles wide, and 3,000 feet deep.
It has as much water in it as Lake Michigan.
