    Those unknown structures?

    Using sonar, Ran mapped 54 square miles of ice underside beneath Dotson Ice Shelf. The maps revealed flat plateaus, terraced steps, and teardrop-shaped pits, all carved by basal melt, melting that attacks the ice from below.

    In the east and center, Ran saw icy terraces stacked like steps, while the west looked smoother, with channels and scooped depressions.

    None of these terraces or teardrop pits show up on satellite images, so they had remained completely hidden until Ran’s mission.






  • I think I misspoke before – artists are more well known than composers, but songs are the top.

    I’d say compared to classical, the songs are more well known than the composers. For example, every jazz head would have heard of “Stella by Starlight” or “Misty”, but wouldn’t necessarily know the composers of those tunes.

    Whereas with classical, people might have heard of Mozart, but not be able to name too many of his compositions.
