This new inventory identifies 37 active water bodies beneath glacier ice, which consist of three types: classic subglacial lakes, terminus subglacial lakes at the glacier convergence zone, and ice-marginal lakes extending beneath the ice. Over 80% of the lakes had at least one rapid hydrological event between 2011 and 2021, with the most significant one draining over 4 Gt in 2020 and decreasing the ice surface elevation by 148 meters. |
