For decades, we were told to ignore any of the strange reports that we were hearing about Antarctica.
Experts assured us that nothing unusual was going on and that there
wasn’t anything to be concerned about. Of course we couldn’t go
investigate for ourselves, because as you will see below, there are 72
areas of Antarctica that only those with a special permit are allowed to
enter. And if you try to fly to Antarctica without authorization, you
will get into all sorts of trouble.
So why all the secrecy?
What are they trying to hide from all the rest of us?
One thing that scientists are admitting about Antarctica is that it sits directly above the strongest “gravity hole” on the entire planet…
Earth
may look like a smooth “blue marble” from space, but it’s better to
imagine it as a slightly gnarled orange, with an inside that’s firm in
parts, but squishier in others. Since the planet isn’t a perfect sphere
and its internal density varies across the globe, gravitational pull
changes from place to place. Where there’s less mass in the underlying
geology, gravity is weaker, and vice versa.
These dips in the
gravitational field are formally known as gravity anomalies, but they’re
more commonly called “gravity holes”. The largest is found in the
middle of the Indian Ocean, spanning over 3 million square kilometers
(roughly 1,100,000 square miles), while the strongest is found in
Antarctica.
Isn’t that interesting?
It turns out that there is a gigantic “hole” under Antarctica after all.
But
the experts are insisting that there really isn’t anything particularly
special about it. In fact, they try to make it sound as boring as possible…
A
“gravity hole” beneath Antarctica sounds like the plot to a bad sci-fi
movie, but it’s a very real situation deep beneath the Earth’s surface
stretching back tens of millions of years. The phenomenon thankfully
isn’t as apocalyptic as it sounds, either. In fact, researchers say
these complex interactions between rock densities, gravitational pull,
and sea levels are actually helping them understand how the southernmost
continent’s ice sheets evolved, and what their influences mean for the
planet’s climate.
Yawn.
That does sound pretty boring.
But could it be possible that there is a lot more to this than we are being told?
It is being reported that
the team of researchers that mapped the colossal gravity hole directly
under Antarctica was able to use a combination of methods to actually
“reconstruct the three-dimensional structure” that exists underneath the
continent…
In the study, published recently in
Scientific Reports, Forte and Petar Glišović, Ph.D., of the Paris
Institute of Earth Physics, mapped the Antarctic gravity hole and
revealed how it developed over millions of years. They relied on an
Earth-spanning scientific project that combined global earthquake
recordings with physics-based modeling to reconstruct the
three-dimensional structure inside Earth.
“Imagine doing a CT scan
of the whole Earth, but we don’t have X-rays like we do in a medical
office. We have earthquakes. Earthquake waves provide the ‘light’ that
illuminates the interior of the planet,” Forte said.
It certainly appears that something is down there.
Could some of the reports that we have heard over the years actually be true?
I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for the truth to come out.
Much of the continent is strictly off limits unless you have a special permit.
In fact, according to Wikipedia there are 72 sites that have been designated as Antarctic Specially Protected Areas…
An
Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) is an area on the continent
of Antarctica, or on nearby islands, which is protected by scientists
and several different international bodies. The protected areas were
established in 1961 under the Antarctic Treaty System, which governs all
the land and water south of 60 latitude and protects against human
development.[1] A permit is required for entry into any ASPA site.[2]
The ASPA sites are protected by the governments of Australia, New
Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Chile, France, Argentina,
Poland, Russia, Norway, Japan, India, Italy, and Republic of Korea.
There are currently 72 sites.
They take security in Antarctica quite seriously.
When a 19-year-old American named Ethan Guo decided that he would fly down there without permission, he was immediately arrested…
A
teenage pilot, who is attempting to fly all seven continents solo, hit a
patch of rough air this weekend when Chilean authorities detained him
for changing his flight plan without their permission and landing in
Antarctica.
Chilean prosecutors say American influencer Ethan Guo,
19, broke “multiple national and international regulations” by changing
his flight plans without prior notice, landing on a part of Antarctica
where the South American country maintains a territorial claim.
CNN requested a comment from Guo, whose lawyer on Sunday said the young pilot had experienced “complications” while flying.
Yes, tourists can visit Antarctica.
But
you must carefully obey the rules, and you must not wander away from
the very limited areas that tourists are allowed to see.
Of course most of the good stuff is in areas where tourists are never allowed, and that includes the colossal pyramid that appears to have been man-made…
I have to admit, the symmetry of that structure is quite striking.
But
even though it looks like an ancient Egyptian pyramid, the official
story is that this is simply a naturally-occurring structure that was shaped by erosion…
In
the vast, icy expanse of Antarctica, lies a mountain that, from an
aerial view, resembles an ancient Egyptian pyramid. This striking
formation, nestled in a sea of snow, has captured the imagination of
internet users since it went viral in 2016. However, this pyramid-like
mountain is no work of human or alien architects; it’s a product of
nature’s slow and relentless erosion.
This unnamed mountain stands
about 4,150 feet tall. It’s located in the southern part of the
Ellsworth Mountains, a rugged range first glimpsed by American aviator
Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935. The mountain’s pyramid shape is particularly
notable because it has four steep sides, a feature that isn’t common
among mountains.
I wish that I could go see it for myself.
But that certainly isn’t going to happen any time soon.
Interestingly, a “ring of fire” solar eclipse was visible in Antarctica on Tuesday…
A
magnificent annular solar eclipse just swept over Antarctica, putting
on an impressive display of orbital mechanics as the moon passed in
front of the sun at the perfect distance from Earth to create a fiery
halo in a darkened sky — at least for the few souls lucky enough to be
in a position to see it.
Feb. 17’s annular solar eclipse occurred
as the lunar disk slipped between the sun and Earth during its new moon
phase. The alignment occurred as the moon travelled through a distant
point in its elliptical orbit, making it appear smaller than usual in
Earth’s sky.
Today’s eclipse got underway at 4:56 a.m. EST (0956
GMT), as the moon took an ever greater bite out of the solar disk,
transforming its burning orb into a glowing crescent, before finally
diving entirely within its fiery expanse. The moon — appearing
fractionally smaller than usual — was unable to cover the entirety of
the sun’s disk, leaving a thin sliver of its outer edge visible to
surround Earth’s natural satellite to create a ring in the skies over
Antarctica.
So many unusual things are happening in the heavens this year.
Next month there will be a spectacular blood moon eclipse, and the month after that an absolutely enormous comet may be visible to the naked eye during the daytime as it travels very close to the Sun.
We live in such interesting times, and I have a feeling that they will become even more interesting during the months ahead.
