Peter, T. & Groos, J.-U. Past the South Pole is the great unknown. Pyle, J. The geologists were more than 150 miles from the open ocean when they bored a hole through the 3,000-foot-thick ice with a hot-water drill and lowered a coring device and a video camera into the dark seawater below it. They also found that what was thought to be one lake under the MacAyeal ice stream was actually two. He went on to become the single greatest polar explorer of the century, a feat recognized by the American government when they awarded him the, Admiral Richard Byrd referred to Antarctica as, Id like to see that land past the North Pole, it is the Center of the Great Unknown., A legend among those in the know was that Adolph Hitler did not die due to a suicide in 1945, but fled to Argentina, to an SS base carved under the ice in New Swabia during the very early 1950s, where he resumed his passion as a painter. See Admiral Byrd Diary for more details on what was apparently in his secret diary relating to Admiral Richard Byrds expedition of the North Pole. A polynya, a Russian word that roughly means hole in the ice, can form near shore as wind pushes the ice around. Once this water reaches the surface that carbon could be released. So, the legacy of the ozone hole story was that effective environmental action can be taken at the international level to resolve global environmental problems. Solomon, S., Garcia, R. R., Rowland, F. S. & Wuebbles, D. J. Ocean measurements were also collected by seals swimming under the sea ice with temporary satellite tags, showing normal water conditions in the years that did not have large polynyas.Dan Costa/University of California, Santa Cruz, This study shows that this polynya is actually caused by a number of factors that all have to line up for it to happen, said co-author Stephen Riser, a UW professor of oceanography. Youve been listening to the Nature PastCast, produced by Charlotte Stoddart and with contributions from Jonathan Shanklin, Richard Stolarski and historian Erik Conway. The undersides of ice shelves are usually smooth due to gradual melting. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in WebBut in the early 1980s, through a combination of ground-based and satellite measurements, scientists began to realize that Earths natural sunscreen was thinning dramatically over the South Pole each spring. After the shooting, 23-year-old Dillon Munn rushed to check on his mother. A team of scientists from New Zealand began this two-month expedition in November. The New Zealanders project could shed light on this question. But the events in 2016 and 2017 forced us to reevaluate that, said lead author Ethan Campbell, a UW doctoral student in oceanography. You can also search for this author in PubMed During WWII, it was a sanctuary for U-Boats and remained one of the few areas in the oceans bereft of a strong Allied military presence. In 1938, a pilot named Isaac Schlossbach flew an airplane over the region where Crocker Land was supposed to be. Bats and agaves make tequila possibleand theyre both at risk. Their work could shed light on a poorly understood, but ominous episode in Antarcticas recent past. So said the great explorer, Admiral Richard Byrd.

It is said that there is a US regulation to prevent citizens from checking out caverns and holes in the polar regions. Future US, Inc. Full 7th Floor, 130 West 42nd Street, Not according to biology or history. Scientists fear that some of these ice shelves are already weakening. Will this ever be confirmed, given the iron grip on exploration now exercised by governments? In doing so, they hoped to answer a question of worldwide importance: just how secure is the ice of West Antarctica? ISSN 0028-0836 (print).

Byrd Encounter With A Lost Civilization in Antarctica On February 19, 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd left Base Camp Arctic and flew northward. What happened on that flight? For years rumors have persisted that on his historic flight to the North Pole, Admiral Byrd flew beyond the Pole into an opening leading inside the Earth. Unlike in Greenland, where meltwater flows from the ice surface through crevasses and holes called moulins, Antarctica's lakes form from beneath the ice, probably as a result of pressure, friction and perhaps geothermal heat. Now, a team of researchers has bored a hole through the ice and sampled the ocean beneath it. There is a hole presumably allowing a very civilization to dwell inside the world. whilst posing in a skimpy white bikini on Instagram, Baywatchs Donna DErrico, 54, ageless as ever as she bares curves in plunging gown, OnlyFans star Donna DErrico left fans a little hot under the collar as she shared a sultry throwback snap wowing in a foil-style dress complete with plunging neckline, Gunmen fire shots at Lionel Messi's family's business and leave chilling note, A supermarket in Argentina owned by the family of Lionel Messis wife Antonela Roccuzzo has reportedly been attacked by gunman - who and left a chilling note for the PSG and Argentina star, Jennifer Lawrence ditches bra in plunging top as she puts famous curves on display, Hunger Games icon Jennifer Lawrence looked sensational as she hit the red carpet in a plunging black blouse, opting to go braless under the racy outfit a year after welcoming her first child, TOO CRUEL FOR SCHOOL: Mum called 'sl*g' for having baby at 16 is still with high school sweetheart years later, EXCLUSIVE: TikToker Zoe Cannon has gone viral in recent weeks for her uplifting videos with her 13-year-old boy Alfie, Pub trivia question sparks 'chaos' as thousands attempt to solve it, A baffling riddle from a pub quiz has gone viral on Reddit this week - and it has left tens of thousands of people confused as they try to solve the mysterious puzzle, 'My entire face was crushed in a freak horse accident doctors had to rebuild my skull', Ian Tilston was driving on the M56 from his home in Hawarden, North Wales, to Nantwich last year when he turned down a slip way and a horse smashed into his vehicle, Sacked adult performer teacher left red-faced again with gym blunder after bloke tried to help, Epsom College headteacher and daughter died of shotgun wounds to chest and head, Emma Pattison and her daughter Lettie, 7, died in their home on the grounds of Epsom College on February 5 in what police now believe to be a murder-suicide committed by Emma's husband George, Putin 'never been so furious' after life with 'sex-mad' gymnast mistress is leaked, Earlier this week reports emerged detailing how Vladimir Putin and his Olympic gold medal-winning mistress Alina Kabaeva live a secret life of luxury with their kids in a lakeside mansion, 'I schedule sex with my partner relationships can die if you don't make time', Holly Robinson, 34, thinks pre-planning intimacy and sex could have "huge" benefits for sexual wellbeing.

Im Jonathan Shanklin and I was one of the team of scientists that discovered the Antarctic ozone hole. The study was published June 10 in the journal Nature. Antarctica is ringed with more than half a million square miles of ice shelves the Filchner-Ronne is one of the largest, covering more than 160,000 square miles but boreholes have revealed an area of seafloor beneath them only the size of a tennis court. boldly suggested a link to human use of compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), often used in aerosol cans and cooling devices such as fridges. It really is, especially dealing with the youth. One of the tasks that I had when I first joined the Survey was to process the missing data. Campbell joined the UW as a graduate student in 2016 to better understand this mysterious phenomenon. Eco-friendly burial alternatives, explained. & Rowland, F. S. Nature 249, 810812 (1974). Atmos.

Some of the Special Reports available at the It's thought both types of stationary animals are types of sponges or are related to sponges, but scientists did not expect to find them beneath the ice shelf, in pitch-blackness and hundreds of miles from the coast. Now, a team of researchers think they know what caused it. I was with NASA for 35 years, and I had just come off of a stint as a low-level manager and was just getting back into doing some real science, and we had people who had been taking satellite data of ozone. Climate change is also warming the oceans, potentially making it harder for the polynya to refreeze once its been opened. A NASA satellite image in August 2016 drew public attention to a 33,000-square-kilometer (13,000-square-mile) gap that appeared for three weeks. Majestic Twelve (MJ 12) was originally conceived by a man named Jesse Marcel, who had been involved with the first Roswell UFO event.Majestic Twelve (MJ 12) was the alleged code label of a secret committee of experts, military top leaders, and government authorities, supposedly developed in 1947 by an executive order of the then US president, Harry S. Truman. Those studies provided only brief glimpses of how deep, warm water circulates under the ice shelf, covering a few hours or days. In 1925 there was a singular man on a mission to explore desolate lands rarely seen by humans to that time Admiral Richard Byrd.

There is a great deal of variation in the density of stratospheric ozone it varies by season, it varies by latitude so there were claims of depletion but they werent widely accepted yet. Ex-US Naval officer 'saw entrance to secret alien base in Antarctica' Soc. Broken glass was everywhere. According to their claims, polar explorer Richard E. Byrd and co-pilot Floyd Bennett fly over the North Pole on this day in the Josephine Ford, a triple-engine Fokker The fluorocarbon-ozone theory was a theory. Your effort and contribution in providing this feedback is much This is the Nature PastCast, each month raiding Natures archive and looking at key moments in science. The study shows that when winds surrounding Antarctica draw closer to shore, they promote stronger upward mixing in the eastern Weddell Sea. And yeah, with nice coloured graphics it hits you in the face. Scientists were fascinated and puzzled by feature, which hadnt appeared at this scale since the 1970s. We had a period of about ten years where the data hadnt been reduced and doing it manually was quite time consuming. Former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves tells CNN's Alisyn Camerota about his unit's experiences with UFOs and explains the problems they can pose for military NASA Worldview/NASA Blue Marble. All of these changes are puzzle pieces in scientists' understanding of the speed and direction of Antarctica's ice sheet flow. They focused on three areas with good satellite coverage and known active lakes: the boundary between the Mercer and Whillans ice streams in West Antarctica; the lower MacAyeal Ice Stream, also in West Antarctica; and the upper Academy Glacier in East Antarctica. Curators are realizing that returning looted artifacts isnt closing museumsits opening new doors. A hole the size of Maine has opened in the wintertime sea ice surrounding Antarctica. When does spring start? Crutzen, P. J. Q. J. R. Meteorol. First Steps to Recovery. 2. Earths protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in about 43 years, a new United Nations report says. All Rights Reserved. While the boulder is located about 150 miles from the ocean, the direction of the currents beneath the ice shelf suggests the nearest plant life is up to 1,000 miles away, Griffiths said. As Heuz put it, everythings connected.. The former US Naval officer said he was on duty when he came across the mystery structure buried into the ice. A student lowered his camera 93 meters into the ground in Antarctica while collecting ice that's estimated to be over two million years old. Its been quite fascinating going back, particularly along the Antarctic Peninsula, on various trips. January 31, 2019 / 12:23 PM When we were working up to publishing our paper, concerns had been expressed that these CFCs might destroy the ozone layer, that exhaust gases from Concorde might destroy the ozone layer, and the general thoughts were that any destruction would probably take place at high altitude in the tropics. This time around, the New Zealand team installed instruments in one of their holes that will monitor ocean currents and water temperatures under the ice for the next two years or so, beaming that information home via satellite link. A legend among those in the know was that Adolph Hitler did not die due to a suicide in 1945, but fled to Argentina, to an SS base carved under the ice in New Swabia during the very early 1950s, where he resumed his passion as a painter. The Ross Ice Shelf is considered more stable, at present, than many of West Antarcticas other floating shelvesand this observation could help explain that: if a few inches of sea water periodically freezes onto the bottom of its ice, this could buffer it from thinning more rapidly. Byrd was an heroic figure, lauded worldwide as an American pilot, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics. In an email to Mrs Howe, 75, he said: "Another unique issue with South Pole station is that our aircraft was not allowed to fly over a certain area designated five miles from the station. Scientists have discovered two new lakes buried deep beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. A huge collection of photographs that show Australian and British expeditions to Antarctica in the early 20th century have been digitized and released to the public for the first time.

The geologists used hot-water equipment to drill the borehole through more than half a mile of the ice shelf, on the southern edge of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. Res. He went on to become the single greatest polar explorer of the century, a feat recognized by the American government when they awarded him the Medal Honor, the highest recognition of achievement for heroism in that country and the greatest military honor. Res. Copyright 2023 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Cold, dark and alive! Can we bring a species back from the brink? All the ingredients for life exist beneath ice shelves, said John Priscu, a professor of polar ecology at Montana State University, who has studied life under polar ice for almost 40 years but who was not involved in the latest study. They were the ancient remains of photosynthetic organisms that had once lived in the sea before dying and settling to the bottom. It is locked beneath a crust of ice larger than Spain and more than 1,000 feet thick, making its waters perpetually darkand extremely difficult for humans to access. You could fly one of our LC130 into this thing. Geologists taking sediment cores from the seafloor beneath the giant Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf on the southern edge of Antarcticas Weddell Sea discovered what biologists believe are types of sponge. ", Related: Photos of Antarctica: The ice-covered bottom of the world. These lakes fill and drain over and over again in largely mysterious cycles that may influence how fast the ice sheet moves and how and where meltwater reaches the Southern Ocean. Video shows discovery of sea-sponges living nearly half a mile beneath Antarctica ice. Total ozone has been measured at the British Antarctic Survey stations, Argentine islands and Halley Bay since 1957. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is up to 10,000 feet thick in some places. So said the great explorer, Admiral Richard Byrd. How did this mountain lion reach an uninhabited island? The Goddard team was scooped and they knew it. The last time I was at Rothera, we couldnt do that because the ice level had dropped so much that the water just spilled out into the sea and Ive seen the glaciers retreating, slowly, admittedly, but I can see that theyre going back and yes, change is very obvious along the Antarctic Peninsula. After drilling out the borehole, the scientists lowered a sediment corer and an attached video camera through the ice shelf. Youve got so much crime going on. Cold, dark and alive! And this is worth exploring, Holland said, because the polynyas delivery of ocean heat to the surface, followed by the sinking of that water as it becomes cooler and denser, plays an important role in global ocean circulation. Copyright 2023 WMC via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved. 33, L10812 (2006). Admiral Forrestal was the first United States Secretary of Defense and among the initial founding members of the Majestic Twelve, an elite group of powerful government and industry leaders who were tasked with keeping an eye on of all alien activity. To obtain But the new study questions that assumption. They then lowered cameras and other instruments through the holes, into the waters below. Essentially its a flipping over of the entire ocean, rather than an injection of surface water on a one-way trip from the surface to the deep, said co-author Earle Wilson, who recently completed his doctorate in oceanography at the UW. J. C. Farman, B. G. Gardiner and J. D. Shanklin, British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK. After the shooting, 23-year-old Dillon Munn rushed to check on his mother. And now, ozone in the news.
