pilot finds hole in antarctica

Cold, dark and alive! The undersides of ice shelves are usually smooth due to gradual melting. Over forty ships, including the Navys crown jewel, Mount Olympus, the aircraft carrier, Philippine Sea, the seaplane tender,Pine Sea, the submarine, Senate, the destroyer, Bronson, the ice breaker, North Wind, and other tanker and supply ships. 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. It seemed that each Antarctic spring which for the Antarctic is September, October ozone levels were dropping. National Research Council. Ex-US Naval officer 'saw entrance to secret alien base in Antarctica' appreciated. In doing so, they hoped to answer a question of worldwide importance: just how secure is the ice of West Antarctica? 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 hole presumably allowing a very civilization to dwell inside the world. The ozone hole actually still appears every year, and it has completely disappeared from public conversation. If a big storm rolls through and clears away the overlying sea ice, it can then cause this warm water to mix with the cooler, fresher water floating atop the Lazarev sea. The site of the polynyadirectly above an enormous undersea mountain known as the Maud Risemade it especially intriguing, as similar giant polynyas had been spotted in the same location in satellite imagery from the 1970s. J. Geophys. After the shooting, 23-year-old Dillon Munn rushed to check on his mother. If you're trying to subscribe with a non-UW email address, please email uwnews@uw.edu for assistance. 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. Crutzen, P. J. Q. J. R. Meteorol. Using a combination of satellite observations and climate models, the research team led by NYUADs Diana Francis determined that the polynyas opening coincided with a cyclone roughly equivalent in strength to a powerful tropical stormforming over the Maud Rise. 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. BREAKING:Blinken and Lavrov meet on G-20 sidelines in first meeting since Ukraine war began, Life finds a way, the actor Jeff Goldblum playing scientist Ian Malcolm declared in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park.. The aviator was staying in a home in Sherwood Forest, a neighborhood right next to the University of Memphis Park Avenue campus. It seems the animals attached to the boulder drifted there as microscopic larvae, and then grew into their adult forms: life is everywhere and the environment selects the species that eventually thrive., A future stage will be to determine if the animals are similar to those in the open ocean, or if they had evolved to live where they are now, Priscu said in an email. Satellite observations have confirmed a progressive deterioration in the Earths protective ozone layer above Antarctica, according to scientists. Many models show that the winds circling Antarctica will become stronger and draw closer to the coast the new paper suggests this would encourage more polynyas to form, not fewer. What was precisely discovered has always been shrouded in mystery, but it may have been astonishing. 101, 38853890 (1996). Chem., 2011). Its European Space Agency equivalent, CryoSat-2, collected similar data starting in 2010 but over a broader area and with less precision. 9, 21132128 (2009). "This did not make any sense to any of us on the crew because on two different occasions we had to fly over this area. 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. It likely collapsed during a warm period 400,000 years ago. Conspiracy theorist and journalist Linda Moulton Howe interviewed the whistleblower, named only as Brian, in a series of fascinating YouTube videos. Munn said his thoughts are on his mother and moving her to a safer neighborhood. Nature Geosci. 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. As that water sinks, relatively warmer deep water of about 1 degree Celsius (34 F) replaces it, creating a feedback loop where ice cant reform. 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.

In 1977, researchers drilled through the ice shelf 300 miles in from its seaward edge (about 80 miles inland from the current holes), and in 2015 a team drilled through the back corner of the ice shelf, 500 miles in from its seaward edge. By 1984, the stratospheric ozone layer over Halley in October was only about two-thirds as thick as that seen in earlier decades a phenomenon that became known as the Antarctic ozone hole. Chem. Observations show that the recent polynyas opened from a combination of factors one being the unusual ocean conditions, and the other being a series of very intense storms that swirled over the Weddell Sea with almost hurricane-force winds.. The unexpected discovery of a hole in the atmospheric ozone layer over the Antarctic revolutionized science and helped to establish one of the most successful The Ross Ice Shelf has come and gone probably many times in the last million years, says Scherer. 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. We also may change the frequency you receive our emails from us in order to keep you up to date and give you the best relevant information possible. Did you encounter any technical issues? A hole the size of Maine has opened in the wintertime sea ice surrounding Antarctica. All of a sudden, you look at it differently wow, we really can affect the planet as a whole. 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. Broken glass was everywhere. The unexpected discovery of a hole in the atmospheric ozone layer over the Antarctic revolutionized science and helped to establish one of the most successful global environmental policies of the twentieth century. The harvesting of fish and plant life are also affected. In 1925 there was a singular man on a mission to explore desolate lands rarely seen by humans to that time Admiral Richard Byrd. It means that 41% of its The ethnographic museum of the past is making its way to the exit.. But to their surprise, the camera showed colonies of stationary animals attached to the rock probably sponges and related sea creatures. US Navy pilot tells of an Ancient Alien City found in Antarctica. 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. He allegedly made the bizarre sightings between 1983 and 1997 when he was stationed with the Antarctic Development Squadron. 96, 320325 (1970). Never was a problem. What we call the ozone hole is a thinning of the ozone layer in the stratosphere (an upper layer of Earths atmosphere) above Antarctica that begins every September. In 1964, Dr. Raymond W. Bernard, was a leader of the Rosicrucians, who are members of a worldwide cabal, especially the Ancient Mystic Order, Rosae Crucis and the Rosicrucian Order, focused his research on old magical, philosophical, and religious teachings, concerned with the application of these doctrines to modern life. Two SOCCOM instruments were trapped in the vortex above Maud Rise and recorded years of observations there. You are forbidden to enter into a cave with an opening without a federal cave license or a government cavern expert with you. Concerns were raised, really, in the 1960s and 70s that substances that we were manufacturing, in particular chlorofluorocarbons the CFCs might put chlorine high into the atmosphere where it could then photocatalytically interact with the ozone and destroy ozone. The retired petty officer, 59, claimed to have been seen UFOs, aliens and a giant hole in the ice as he flew through a "no fly zone" in Antartica. In January of 1956, Admiral Byrd led yet another expedition to the South Pole. My name is Richard Stolarksi, and Im a research scientist whos worked on ozone for many years. Today, 33 years later, the ozone hole is showing its first signs of recovery. The ozone hole story clearly shows that if we have the will to do things, we can succeed. The pocket is a sign of "rapid decay" and just one of "several disturbing discoveries" made recently regarding the glacier, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a news release Wednesday. Earlier in the year, in another Vega, the two pilots had become the first to cross the Arctic Ocean from Alaska to Svalbard, Norway. They thought, well, just because youve got it one year, it doesnt count. Global sea levels would rise by 10 feet if West Antarctica lost these crucial stabilizers and spilled its ice into the ocean. Some of those dead diatoms were only a few hundred thousand years old, leading Scherer to an astounding conclusion: this area, now covered by 3,000 feet of ice, had recently been open sea, bathed in life-sustaining sunlight that could support the diatoms growth. 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. Thats likely no accident.
