Map of Antarctica

Caption

A map (left) and zoom-in (right) of Antarctica, displaying the two anomalous upward-pointing events -- represented by red dots -- observed by the ANITA experiment, overlaid with surface ice speed (represented by purple/blue coloring) and 500-meter surface elevation contours. The top red dot represents the anomaly recorded in 2018, while the lower dot represents the anomaly recorded in 2016. Both events lie in low surface ice-speed and high-elevation of 1.86 to 2.17 mile regions, according to Shoemaker.
