“Channels of this magnitude have been observed before elsewhere, but their formation has been attributed to purely oceanic processes rather than meltwater exiting the grounded ice sheet”

The Great Flood caused the channels. Ask Noah.

Looks like a couple of drunken frat guys trying to make their way home from a Haloween party.

I read a book about Revelation. It indicated we would find a subterranean prison that kept supernatural beings that would be released before we understood what they were.

I am thinking this guy was right.

I say we stay away from there.

Just God’s way of preventing another calamitous flood, perhaps...

Or what caused the last one....

~snip~ around 10,000 years ago, Lake Agassiz refilled. The last major shift in drainage occurred around 8,200 years ago. The melting of remaining Hudson Bay ice caused Lake Agassiz to drain nearly completely. This final drainage of Lake Agassiz is associated with an estimated 0.8 to 2.8 m (2.6 to 9.2 ft) rise in global sea levels.[7] ~snip~
