Key Points

  • The research aims to investigate the Earth's interior and monitor ice movement in Antarctica.
  • Installation of two seismometers beneath the South Pole
  • Monitoring seismic activity and ice movement
  • Collecting data to analyze subglacial geological processes
  • Seismometers provide insights into the planet's interior structure
  • Real-time monitoring of Antarctic ice movement can reveal geological dynamics
  • Data collected may lead to better understanding of earthquake activities

Abstract

Beneath the South Pole, two seismometers will probe the planet’s interior and monitor movement of Antarctic ice
