The finding was made using 232 gravity readings across the mountain. Researchers from the University of Utah mapped the hidden ice in a 3D model.Why it mattersThe discovery of hidden ice in Utah's mountains has significant implications for understanding the state's water resources. The finding could help scientists better predict water availability and manage water resources in the region. Utah's mountain ranges are believed to sto
