With its underlying theme of bridging existing knowledge to future research, it is a benchmark in the history of subglacial lake exploration and study, containing up-to-date discussions about the history and background of subglacial aquatic environments and future exploration. The main topics addressed are identification, location, physiography, and hydrology of 387 subglacGeophysical monograph ;192.Aquatic ecologyAntarcticaSubglacial lakesAntarcticaHistorySubglacial lakesAntarcticaDiscovery and explorationSubglacial lakesPolar regionsHistorySubglacial lakesPolar regionsDiscovery and explorationAquatic ecologySubglacial lakesHistory.Subglacial lakesDiscovery and exploration.Subglacial lakesHistory.Subglacial lakesDiscovery and exploration.551.482Siegert Martin J907065Kennicutt Mahlon C907066Bindschadler R.
