Researchers continue to piece together a view of Antarctica's hidden "Ghost Peaks" buried deep underneath the ice.

Hidden miles beneath the surface of an ice sheet (shown in blue), the so-called ghost peaks in the middle of Antarctica are finally coming into view, researchers announced last month.
