The Gamburtsev Mountain Range is a subglacial mountain range located in Antarctica. It lies beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and is approximately 1,500 kilometers long. The range was discovered in the 1950s during a Soviet expedition and is believed to be similar in size and structure to the Alps. These mountains are covered by thick ice, making them difficult to study directly. Scientists use radar and other remote sensing technologies to explore the range's features. The Gamburtsev Mountains play a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet and its impact on global sea levels.
