From Greenland: New simulations indicate that a rocky valley detected under the island's ice sheet may contain a 1,600-kilometer-long subterranean river,flowing from central Greenland to its northern coast.
A subterranean river is a river that runs wholly or partly beneath the ground surface – one where the riverbed does not represent the surface of the Earth (rivers flowing in gorges are not classed as subterranean). It should also not be confused with an aquifer which may flow like a river but is contained within a permeable layer of rock or other unconsolidated materials.
