"Revealing the Mysteries of Mars: Its Partially Molten Iron Core"
If the explorers from Journey to the Center of the Earth were to venture to the center of Mars instead, they would not encounter the subterranean oceans or live dinosaurs they came across in the movie. However, it is likely that they would observe a distinct composition in comparison to Earth's core. Earth possesses a mantle composed of rock that exhibits sluggish liquid-like movements. Below the mantle lies a liquid iron outer core and a solid iron inner core. Considering that both Earth and Mars are rocky planets and may have experienced similar surface conditions in the distant past, it might be tempting to anticipate a comparable interior on Mars. Nevertheless, this assumption is not entirely accurate.

"Antarctic Ice Reveals Ancient Secrets: Scientists Uncover a Frozen Landscape Preserved Across Millions of Years"
On Tuesday, scientists announced the discovery of a vast, hidden landscape of hills and valleys that has been preserved under the Antarctic ice for millions of years. The landscape, which is larger than Belgium, has remained untouched for over 34 million years. However, researchers have warned that human-driven global warming could potentially expose it. The lead author of the study, Stewart Jamieson, a glaciologist at Durham University, stated that the land underneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is less well known than the surface of Mars. The only way to "see" beneath it is through radio-echo sounding, a technique where a plane overhead sends radio waves into the ice and analyzes the echoes. The researchers did not use new data, only a new approach, and emphasized that this undiscovered landscape has been hiding in plain sight.
