Expedition set for 'GHOST PEAKS'

HIDDEN MOUNTAIN RANGE IN ANTARCTICA


Coming soon is a HUGE Antarctic expedition. The aim is to fin out WHY there is a massive mountain range buried under this continent of ice. The mountain range called the Gamburtsevs are the same size as the Alps but no one has ever seen them because they are buried under 4km of ice.


Geologists are trying to find out HOW such as massive mountain range could have formed and remained in the middle of this ice continent. An International team of scientists, engineers and pilots from the UK, US, Germany, Australia, Japan and China are off to face the difficult conditions of this area to find some answers.
