This is truly amazing. However this was news back in 2014. Problem is that the water is not in liquid form and is in very very deep. Both making the reservoir quite unusable.

Imagine if a volcano went through it and turned all that ice in to expanding steam...

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface.

Wow, that's amazing.

Three oceans of superheated magma steam.
