Huge Canyon Discovered Under Greenland Ice 137
cold fjord writes with this news, straight from the BBC: "One of the biggest canyons in the world has been found beneath the ice sheet that smothers most of Greenland. The canyon — which is 800km long and up to 800m deep — was carved out by a great river more than four million years ago ... It was discovered by accident as scientists researching climate change mapped Greenland's bedrock by radar. The British Antarctic Survey said it was remarkable to find so huge a geographical feature previously unseen. The hidden valley is longer than the Grand Canyon in Arizona. ... The ice sheet, up to 3km (2 miles) thick, is now so heavy that it makes the island sag in the middle (central Greenland was previously about 500m above sea level, now it is 200m below sea level)."

More lies straight from the pits of hell.
Obviously this super-canyon was carved during Noah's flood.
Another Win for Flood geology!

Based on my own experience, once there's sagging in the middle it never goes away no much how hard you try to burn off the weight.

Now you've shown him! He's so shocked by this that he won't even ask for sources and citations and will simply back out with his tail between his legs!
