Scientists have discovered 332 giant underwater canyons in Antarctica: how this will affect the climate

The research revealed a significant number of underwater canyons in Antarctica, which may have a profound impact on global processes. The giant underwater depths play a vital role in sustaining life in the ocean waters and are crucial for regulating the Earth's climate. For scientists, this discovery is an important step in understanding geography and the impact of underwater structures on the environment.

According to glavcom.ua: An international group of scientists from the University of Barcelona and University College Cork has published the results of their research, creating the most detailed catalog of underwater canyons in Antarctica. According to the journal Marine Geology, the scientists have identified 332 giant underwater canyons, some of which are over 4 kilometers deep. This number is five times greater than previously known data about such canyons. The main role of these valleys is to transport nutrients and influence the global climate.
