There are several frozen moons in our solar system, orbiting the gas giants. Some of them, despite having temperatures that would make Antarctica feel tropical, have liquid water under the surface.

Gemma O’Connor, a UW post-doctorate in the School of Oceanography, approached a relatively common scientific belief that ice sheet decline in western Antarctica was driven by westerly winds. By proxy, ...
