What Antarctica Looked Like Before the Ice - Antarctica Geology
This 3-D reconstruction of the topography hidden under Antarctica's two-mile-thick coating of ice was made using data from radar surveys. The continent was relatively flat before glaciers started carving deep valleys 34 million years ago, a new study finds.

Antarctic Geology - Ice Stories: Dispatches From Polar Scientists
At first glance, Antarctica seems to turn a cold shoulder to geologists. How do you study minerals and landforms on a continent that's almost entirely covered by ice? But dauntless geologists are using a full range of tricks to peer under the ice and what they're finding is a big surprise.

Geology - Australian Antarctic Division
Like all other continents, Antarctica has at its core an ancient shield. The rocks of the East Antarctica shield are as old as 4 billion years, which means that they are amongst the oldest known rocks on Earth.
