The most recent subglacial lake inventories and classification methods further
demonstrate the strong correlation between subglacial lakes and flat
anomalies on the ice surface. A reanalysis of older radar sounding data
shows that several subglacial basins previously identified as “lake
less” may actually contain multiple lakes along with other important
subglacial hydraulic features. The combined use of radar sounding and
satellite surface mapping is allowing unprecedented detail in the mapping of
subglacial hydraulic systems in
