Science and technology, explained simply
Researchers say that the huge block of ice is the third large iceberg to break off in the last three years in this area of the continent. In 2016, a huge crack was discovered on the Brant Ice Shelf in Antarctica – it was noticed on October 31, and therefore was immediately named the “Halloween […]
A Chinese scientific expedition is preparing to drill a huge ice lake in Antarctica. This ambitious project can help reveal the secrets of the continent’s unique ecosystem and the possibility of the existence of various life forms that have been able to adapt to extreme conditions. This was reported by Xinhua. We are talking about […]
In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, scientists studied huge holes in Antarctic ice shelves called ice holes. Scientists believe that these city-sized holes may be related to the formation of giant icebergs that break away from the cold continent, Live Science reports. Huge ice sheets cover Antarctica’s landmass and carry ice […]
The Antarctic island served as a winter base for polar explorers in the early 20th century. The Argentine islands of Antarctica, covered with a layer of ice all year round, look like winter even in summer. In summer, the ice caps are visible on half of the total land area, although this figure is slightly […]
A strange yellow spider-like creature with four almost black eyes and large bulbous claws was pulled from the depths of the ocean near Antarctica. The never-before-seen animal, a sea spider, is a distant relative of horseshoes and arachnids that live on the ocean floor, eat with a straw-like proboscis instead of a mouth, and breathe […]
A team of Ukrainian researchers was on their way to the Antarctic station when they were “surprised by something.” The scientists assume that they have seen with their own eyes the particles of a real ice giant. Details and photos from the scene were shared by the press service of the National Antarctic Science Center. […]
