Then, about 250-100 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the planet, the crust started to pull apart in a series of rifting events close to the old root. This rifting warmed and rejuvenated the root, giving it the buoyancy needed to lift the land upwards once more to re-establish the mountains.This might be similar to the rejuvenation of the southern Appalachians during the Cenozoic Era.

Hi Nully, it looks as if they are trying to dig ‘em out.

I’ve seen the Gamburtsevs. Great family of acrobats.

***The Gamburtsevs are the size of the European Alps and yet they are totally buried beneath the Antarctic ice.***

The flyover is really cool. Thanks.
It looks like Lake Vostok sits at the base of these mountains.

With that hair I can see why.

If the wind could blow though those mountains they would would talk with ghostly voices but being buried in ice there have been silenced.
