Re: Found a new image of the Brunt Ice Shelf crack. Antarctica
Forty years ago I heard that Global Warming will raise Sea levels by fifty feet and as to date not one Sea wall has been raised or coastal mainland property has been taken by the Sea.

Do you realize how much water it would take to raise the Oceans by even one inch?

Look at a globe and then look at the tiny area of ice that might break off.

Sorry,I see it now but both of those points lead to inner Earth and not the atmosphere.

Just remember,the King of Global Warming(Al Gore)stated that the Sun has very little to do with the Earths climate.

Of course the Earth expands because vegetation grows and dies.

It adds to to diameter of the Earth.

The Expanding Earth Theory is that for some unknown reason the core expands and pushes out.

Re: Found a new image of the Brunt Ice Shelf crack. Antarctica
IMPORTANT............

I'm not in a position to start a thread on this topic as that would bring far too much attention to me. However I can say that there is something very, very important that is going on in the Antarctica!

Various Government officials from around the world have traveled here to get first hand information on what is happening.

What I can tell you is that there has been a military lock-down of us here. I am part of a group of researchers (I don't do research work, I am support staff - I work for UNAVCO) and the research work has come to a complete stop!

We have been told to confine ourselves to the station and still have most privileges, i.e., intermittent internet access, etc.

We were all told that in the interest of "National Security" (USA) it would be best to not discuss anything that is currently going on at the station although we were not told specifically that we can't discuss anything with friends, loved one, which is why I decided to post here.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the military is monitoring our emails and internet usage, so we shall see what happens after I post this.

I talked to one of the researchers here and asked what was going on, why various military personnel were here (from different countries but not specifically at our site, just USA). She told me that certain tests being conducted discovered information not previously known that have the potential of changing an entire scientific theory on what is currently believed. I asked her for specifics because what she told me wasn't anything specific. She just looked at me and said that she couldn't say anything else otherwise she could be imprisoned.

I asked her why she thought she couldn't say anything as I certainly hadn't been told that and she told me that she and all the other "researchers" (not support staff) had been made to sign a secrecy letter.

I'm not sure whats going on but I do see more and more research equipment (I'm assuming it's research equipment)has been coming in almost like clockwork.

I know this isn't much information but that's all I know. I'm going to start poking around the station (why not I'm bored and more importantly curious) and will find threads to post as time goes by.



That blew my mind.

Re: Found a new image of the Brunt Ice Shelf crack. Antarctica
antarctica, along with the arctic, will be the two regions that the crust expands the MOST during the next (ongoing?) physical pole shift

the arctic is mostly under water though, whereas the antarctic is mostly land

this is EXACTLY what you would EXPECT to see from an ONGOING pole shift

we're IN IT, guys. when does the planet tip though? what is the catalysing event?

i reckon a vei7+ volcanic eruption would be the force needed

then it's a lottery. who ends up at the poles? who ends up in the tropics? who can SWIM? rofl

Re: Found a new image of the Brunt Ice Shelf crack. Antarctica
[link to news.nationalgeographic.com]



With a gargantuan crack slowly splitting it apart, Antarctica's fastest-melting glacier is about to lose a chunk of ice larger than all of New York City, scientists say.



The crevasse stretches 19 miles (30 kilometers) long and up to 260 feet (80 meters) wide, as shown in a picture taken by NASA's Terra satellite in October and featured this week as a NASA Image of the Day.

Snaking across the floating tongue of the Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica, the crack is expected to create an iceberg 350 square miles (907 square kilometers)—versus 303 square miles (785 square kilometers) for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx combined, according to NASA.

As for when the iceberg might shove off, "that is very difficult to predict," said oceanographer Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, "but in the coming months for sure."

Glacier "Contributing Most to Sea Level"

Usually there's nothing extraordinary about a glacier calving, said glaciologist Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado.

Glaciers that flow into the sea, like the Pine Island Glacier, go through a normal cycle in which the floating section grows, stresses mount, and an iceberg breaks off, Scambos said.

"That is nothing unusual in most cases."

But when the pattern deviates, glaciologists take notice. In this case, the crack is forming significantly farther "upstream" than has previously been the case. That "signifies that there are changes in the ice," he said.
