Antarctica has to be one of the most mysterious places on Earth. Just what secrets does it hold? Maybe you can figure it out…. I will go into more detail in the blog, but here is a quick run down. Buzz Aldrin, the famous astronaut who walked on the moon, went to Antarctica and had to be emergency medically evacuated out of there. Now this part is controversial. Then the tweet was erased, and that become the conspiracy theory, some claiming it was a fraud and never happened. You guys can decide on this one, but after you hear all the other weird things going on in Antarctica, you might wonder, could this possibly be true? One of the strangest stories in recent times though, with Antarctica, is with what many think is the Ark of Gabriel. First we should start with how they found it, and the crazy events that occurred when they tried to remove it. Underneath the Masjid al-Haram mosque, the holiest place in Islam, they found what looked like the legendary weapon, that is known as the Ark of Gabriel. When they tried to remove it, in September ofthere was a huge lightning, or plasma emission, that reportedly injured Mystery in Antarctica. There Mystery in Antarctica a second attempt to remove the Ark 13 days later, which resulted in a much larger plasma emission, this time killing between to people, depending on the news source.

  • The Reception and Commemoration of William Speirs Bruce Are, I Suggest, Part
    The University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences Institute of Geography A SCOT OF THE ANTARCTIC: THE RECEPTION AND COMMEMORATION OF WILLIAM SPEIRS BRUCE M.Sc. by Research in Geography Innes M. Keighren 12 September 2003 Declaration of originality I hereby declare that this dissertation has been composed by me and is based on my own work. 12 September 2003 ii Abstract 2002–2004 marks the centenary of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. Led by the Scots naturalist and oceanographer William Speirs Bruce (1867–1921), the Expedition, a two-year exploration of the Weddell Sea, was an exercise in scientific accumulation, rather than territorial acquisition. Distinct in its focus from that of other expeditions undertaken during the ‘Heroic Age’ of polar exploration, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, and Bruce in particular, were subject to a distinct press interpretation. From an examination of contemporary newspaper reports, this thesis traces the popular reception of Bruce—revealing how geographies of reporting and of reading engendered locally particular understandings of him. Inspired, too, by recent work in the history of science outlining the constitutive significance of place, this study considers the influence of certain important spaces—venues of collection, analysis, and display—on the conception, communication, and reception of Bruce’s polar knowledge. Finally, from the perspective afforded by the centenary of his Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, this paper illustrates how space and place have conspired, also, to direct Bruce’s ‘commemorative trajectory’—to define the ways in which, and by whom, Bruce has been remembered since his death. iii Acknowledgements For their advice, assistance, and encouragement during the research and writing of this thesis I should like to thank Michael Bolik (University of Dundee); Margaret Deacon (Southampton Oceanography Centre); Graham Durant (Hunterian Museum); Narve Fulsås (University of Tromsø); Stanley K.

  • Krill Panel on Western Antarctic Peninsula: What We Know Now on Krill and What Needs to Be Known in Immediate Future
    KRILL PANEL ON WESTERN ANTARCTIC PENINSULA: WHAT WE KNOW NOW ON KRILL AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN IN IMMEDIATE FUTURE Robert Y. George*, So Kawaguchi+, Christian Reiss** and Stephen Nicol ++ *Prof. Robert Y. George (George Institute, North Carolina, USA), +Dr. So Kawaguchi (Antarctic Division, Australia), **Dr. Christian Reiss (NOAA, Southwestern Fisheries Center, La Jolla., Calf.,USA), ++Dr. Stephen Nicol (IMAS, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia,) INTRODUCTION This report summarizes what transpired during the ‘KRILL PANEL’ on June 13, 2017 at the 3rd International Krill symposium at St Andrews University in Scotland, UK There were four presentations, namely (1) What we know on krill physiology under high pressure and high pCO2 conditions (Robert Y. George) (2) What is our understanding of krill distribution and also threats from Ocean Acidification, (So Kawaguchi) (3) Krill and its predators in Scotia Sea and Western Antarctic Peninsula (Christian Reiss). There was also a fourth presentation on our knowledge of krill off Eastern Antarctica (Stephen Nicol). OUR PRESENT KNOWLEDGE ON KRILL PHYSIOLOGY UNDER HYPERBARIC CONDITIONS AND HIGH pCO2 IN WATER COLUMN IN DEEPR DEPTHS? ROBERT Y. GEORGE In 1982, at the first International Krill symposium (George, 1984, editor), the focus was primarily on Antarctic krill Euphausia superba because Sir George Deacon and the symposium convener Dr. Robert George felt the need to exclude krill predators (Penguins, baleen whales and seals) and also other Euphausiid species in the Southern Ocean and elsewhere in the world oceans. However, they included scientists who were experts on primary production and phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean. The first krill symposium in Wilmington, North Carolina, which focused on studies conducted during the international BIOMASS Program (El-Sayed, 1994), rekindled a genuine interest on Antarctic krill initiated by Discovery scientists.
