Antarctica can be seen as the world’s largest laboratory. Science is one of the most important reasons as to why we venture into this barren desert‚ and we have made and continue to make important scientific discoveries in the Antarctic. We have made discoveries like: How the atmosphere and the oceans ‘work’ and how they are linked‚ how much Antarctica has moved etc. Old explorers like made the first journeys across the vast continent and became ingrained into history books for doing so.

During various researches in the Antarctica‚ scientists have discovered a large crack in the ice. They are keeping a close eye on the ever-growing crack in an Antarctica ice shelf that will eventually lead to the iceberg’s formation. Although the detachment of these ice shelves is a natural process‚ scientists have observed that the iceberg that will come off will be larger than usual. The most important thing now is to analyze the causes and evolution of the crack in the face of the possibility

Antarctica is a continent which is rich in minerals but due to the Antarctic treaty mining has been banned from this area. I strongly agree that people should not mine this area for many reasons. They include‚ breakdown of peace‚ destruction of the environment‚ no major gain for the world‚ it would encourage disputes between the countries who have claimed a piece of Antarctica and it is against the laws of the treaty. Firstly‚ Antarctica is the one and only continent in the world which has never

Antarctica consists of mostly frozen ice particles and may very well vary huge chunks of ice burgs. Sea ice keeps the Polar Regions levelheaded and helps adequate global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface; that contains eighty percent of the sunlight that strikes it is revealed back into space. As sea ice melts in the summer‚ it exposes the dark ocean surface. Instead of reflecting eighty percent of the sunlight‚ the ocean only absorbs ninety percent of the sunlight. The oceans eventually heat

In Antarctica there are massive amounts of frozen water that are locked up in ice. Some of Antarctica’s ice sheets are more than 2 miles thick‚ and if the ice starts to melt then sea levels will rise dramatically. Sadly the ice has started melting already. There are radars that are measuring the amount of water that there is now‚ but scientists are trying to figure out how much water will be if all the ice will melt. Antarctica contains more than 90% of the worlds ice‚ together with Greenland‚ it’s

Introduction Fun Fact: The Don Juan Pond in Antarctica is the saltiest place on Earth. Does that have anything to do with an Ecocolumn? No. What is an Ecocolumn? An Ecocolumn is essentially a tiny ecosystem in a bottle. A few bottles. And it’s not an ecosystem. It has three chambers: Terrestrial‚ Decomposition‚ and Aquatic. The Terrestrial Chamber has the soil‚ the sun‚ and is the entrance into the Ecocolumn. The Decomposition Chamber is where decomposers break down the dead organic matter

about the cold adaptation strategy of G. antarctica PI12‚ several studies were conducted to resolve the cold adaptation strategy of G. antarctica PI12. The adaptation of G. antarctica PI12 to cold shock and heat shock environments is reflected in their structural and biochemical characteristics. These characteristic such as the production of cold adapted enzymes‚ polyunsaturated fatty acids and cryoprotectant. The complex adaptation strategies of G. antarctica PI12 to low temperatures reviewed in the

In Antarctica temperatures are extremely low with an average annual temperature ranging from -10°C to -80°C in different areas of Antarctica’s weather. These are some of the issues that caused damage to the polar biome. Tourism plays a major role in the human impacts on Antarctica. When tourists visit Antarctica‚ they are leaving lots
