Observation of surface elevation changes over 16 months in an area of the East Antarctic ice sheet overlying subglacial lakes suggests a rapid discharge of one lake to at least two other lakes, involving a water volume of 1.8 km3 — in conflict with previous expectations that subglacial lakes have long residence times and slow circulations.
