Researchers from Durham University have discovered what appears to be a massive canyon system beneath Antarctica's ice. Using satellite data, geologists have mapped out a system over 1,000 kilometers long (621 miles), with sections that run up to 1 kilometer deep (3,280 feet) in the Princess Elizabeth Land region on the eastern side of the continent. For comparison, the Grand Canyon is only about 446 kilometers (277 miles) long.

After intense winter rains fell in the middle of the United States, much of the South suffered devastating effects downriver. In Louisiana, the flooding was expansive enough to be seen from space. A new image, captured on Jan. 11 by NASA's Aqua satellite, shows Louisiana's Lower Mississippi swollen with flood water that arrived from up north.

Cook Inlet in Alaska may have more oil and gas to give, but developing it could present a challenge. Though there is active development on oil fields in the northern Cook Inlet and one producer in the Cosmopolitan field near Anchor Point, there may be resources that are going unexplored in other parts of the inlet, particularly along the west side. There is likely more oil deeper below the rock layers that are currently being drilled in Upper Cook Inlet.

"We've seen some very interesting conditions, to say the least, so far this winter," said Keith Kompoltowicz, the chief of watershed hydrology for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Detroit.

A beachgoer got quite the slithery surprise when a 20-inch-long (50 centimeters) venomous sea snake washed ashore at Coronado Dog Beach near San Diego on Jan. 12. The yellow-bellied sea snake (Pelamis platura) is very uncommon in California, but three (including this latest sighting) have washed ashore in Southern California in the past few months.

On Jan. 14, NASA released this composite image of one of two potential cryovolcanoes spotted on the surface of Pluto. Scientists with NASA's New Horizons mission assembled this highest-resolution color view from images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015. Mission geologists have suggested that two of Pluto's most distinctive mountains could be cryovolcanoes.

Geologists have called on the government to follow up on a number of geoarchaelogical findings that could potentially alter the mainstream view of the history of human civilization in Indonesia. Among them are the discoveries at the Mount Padang historical site in Cianjur, West Java, the site of the Hindu kingdom that rests beneath the site of the Samudera Pasai kingdom in northern Aceh and an ancient brick-making site in the Majapahit kingdom of Mojokerto, East Java.
