Are there rivers in antarctica

Answer 1

From what I heard there is a lake in Antarctica called Lake Vostok, but I don't think that there's a river in Antarctica.

Answer 2

Since 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, Antarctica is not known for its rivers. However, glacial melt-water run-offs do occur in summer, the longest of which is called the Onyx River, which flows for about 32 miles.

Answer 3

The rivers of Antarctica are melt-water streams.They are :

Adams Stream

Priscu Stream

Surko Stream

Aiken Creek

Lawson Creek

Rezovski Creek

Alph river

Onyx river

Answer 4

Because 98% of the continent is covered by an ice sheet, Antarctica is not known for its rivers. However, melt-water does flow in the summer months, and has formed the Onyx River, which flows seasonally for about 32 miles to the sea. This is the longest melt-water river on the continent.

There are other melt-water rivers, including Adams Stream, Aiken Creek, Alph River, Lawson Creek, Priscu Stream, Rezovski Creek, Surko Stream, and one that remains unnamed.

There may also be other unnamed melt-water rivers on the continent that have not yet been seen or documented.

Answer 5

All running water on the continent of Antarctica is seasonal, melt-water from glaciers. These phenomenon don't truly constitute legitimate 'rivers', because they do not flow year 'round, nor do most of them flow into the sea.

Answer 6

Ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet, making rivers a lakes a little improbable.

However, there are seasonal, melt-water rivers that flow on the land from glaciers. One 'river', the Onyx, flows 32 miles, but does not empty into the sea. As well, there are lakes under the ice sheet, notably, Lake Vostok. It is possible that under-ice lakes are deep enough to be liquid based on their proximity to the earth's core.
