Many research studies (e.g., here) confirm what has long been proposed: a liquid river and lake system exists beneath the entire Antarctic continent. The presence of this hidden water network carries significant implications for the validity of climate change theory.

From Eos:

“In Antarctica, beneath the ice, there is liquid water—and potentially a lot of it. That’s the takeaway from new research that used seismographic instruments to probe the still largely unstudied boundary between Antarctica’s bedrock and its ice sheet.

“Previous hydrological studies and modeling work have found evidence of lakes and rivers beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet, though much remains unknown about the region.”

Here are more studies documenting these freshwater rivers and lakes beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet (see here, here, here, here, here, and here).
