Dry Valleys of Antarctica
The Dry Valleys of Antarctica get almost no snowfall, and except for a few steep rocks they are the only continental part of Antarctica devoid of ice. The terrain looks like something not of this Earth; the valley floor occasionally contains a perennially frozen lake with ice several meters thick. Under the ice, in the extremely salty water live mysterious simple organisms, a subject of on-going research.
Some really amazing pictures. [Pictures]

Reminds me of scene from Armegaddon! Looks really cool! That is where Toyota takes their Landcruiser for testing purporses and it almost never breaks!
if you ever want to take your land cruiser tell me i will come along for the ride
Beautiful pictures!
Just saw Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.. very alarming and if we dont act fast on global warming that wont be the only part of Antarctica that is devoid of ice!
great information ! thanks
