The Wilkes Land anomaly spans 300 miles—suggesting a crater formed by a cataclysmic meteor strike millions of years ago. At 1.6 km beneath Antarctic ice, the anomaly resists direct study ...

Underneath Antarctica’s endless sheets of ice lies ... New data show the actual thickest point lies within an unnamed canyon in Wilkes Land, at coordinates 76.052°S, 118.378°E.

Belanger: No U.S. naval expedition had been in Antarctica for 100 years before that, not since the [Charles] Wilkes expedition ... to establish a basis for a [land] claim in Antarctica.

Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across.
