Abstract
    The bed topography beneath the Greenland ice sheet controls the flow of ice and its discharge into the ocean. A combination of sparse radar soundings of ice thickness and high-resolution ice motion data suggest that many submarine ice-covered valleys extend significantly deeper below sea level and farther inland than thought.
