Something strange is ongoing at Antarctica.

Giggiddy...many thanks for that laugh....

Anyways....gives me some to look at anyways .....

If its already floating on the ice before it breaks off, it will not effect the water level.
As for why all the celebs going down there and State Officials? Two words: Jimmy Hoffa!

And why the *hell* was 86 year old Buzz Aldrin just evacuated from Antarctica?

Can anyone give me one valid reason that an 86 year old ex-astronaut would be at the South Pole?

This makes absolutely *no* sense to me...

Better question (to go along with yours) What the hell is the US Secretary of State doing there ?

Kerry and his traveling party look at and take photos of an Adélie penguin after it approached them in Antarctica. (State Department Photo)

Good article about Kerry's visit to Antarctica. Obviously from the pic above, the local wildlife wasn't too impressed with his visit. From the article, his visit was all about climate change.

Seeing as he will be out of a job soon, it was a good time to make a trip on the taxpayers dime.

Quite frankly, with the worlds water sources soon to be either contaminated or depleted, Antarctica may be a good source of clean water.

Ay, it doesn't make sense to *you* therefore it must be something dodgy going on.
Because you know, *you* can't think of any reason therefore no valid reason exists.

Oh how the quality on ATS has deteriorated over the years.

Yes it has.
You stated the above bolded words. Yet no reasons of your own
Fail

Well, based on the quality of your post, I'd have to agree.

Since you obviously don't have anything constructive to add - just wanted to say thanks for wasting our bandwidth.

Proof that it's about penguins.

Why on earth would Kerry go to Antartica on election day? You people are complete fools if you don't believe that there is a secret base there and all these skull and bones members are the same ones who started all the alien disinformation in the 80s...My heart goes out to you people, because you have been constantly lied to by evil hideous obnoxious hearts.

Strange timing Died: December 8, 2016
John Glenn, First American In Orbit, Dies At 95

Why is it strange timing that a person who was 95 died?

Because two astronauts one with an emergency evacuation from the antarctic and the other died the news said of (unknown causes) at the same time is rather interesting to me.

One was 86 and one was 95..

Im sure the outcomes that you find interesting had nothing to do with their age..

As far as reasons to be interested in Antarctica (other than the fact that climate is changing most quickly in the polar regions)...
Look up Graham Hancock. In his book "fingerprints of the gods" he gives his evidence for his theory that the Antarctic was the location of 'atlantis' (or whatever you prefer to call the advanced civilization that existed prior to the rapid rise of global sea levels ~12,000 years ago), and gives some good evidence to back it up.

Buzz Aldrin was apparently there as part of a research project into the effects of isolation as prep for any eventual manned missions to mars.

I am not entirely suggesting the Earth is completely hollow, but you have got to wonder what Admiral Byrd was talking about.



The land beyond the pole? The Earth might not be entirely hollow, but large caves could exist down there.

a reply to: ElectricUniverse

So why didn't he say, "I have seen there is a huge whole and the Earth is hollow and there's lots of stuff in there" rather than a completely ambiguous statement that could mean almost anything.

"Land beyond the pole". What is that? Longitudinally? Upwards in the sky? Where?

Ooh ooh! Can I take a guess!?

Not only that, but they are talking ONE MANS vague word over hundreds of thousands of scientists, geologists and 100a of years of proven theory.


Too ridiculous for words. I'll never understand being so desperate to believe in something being true that I ignore mountains of hard facts

Oh, that. Sounds like what Dr Dyer from Miskatonic University saw on the 1930 expedition.

The entire 'land beyond the poles' thing likely was ginned up by F. Amadeo Giannini, to be honest. Including the secret diary.

Im sorry but this is another one of those things "they" tell people I cant believe they swallow. People, there is no magical science behind it you cannot understand since you are not a pagographer (ice specialist- made it up). You can trust your eyes and brains just as much as you do when you consider the consequences if you smash your palm down onto the red hot stove coil. They are talking about something that is exponentially smaller a fraction than dropping an ice cube into your tub. Or heck, go for something far worse than the ratio of falling ice to sea that is Delaware to the oceans, an ice cube into your stopped up filled sink. I dont need panic and trillion dollar sucking ex Y2k committees turned climate change committees telling me the consequence. An ice cube or five and my sink won't rise the height measurable by the human eye or any ruler. So I say bull-leavings-behind

Who knows what Buzz was tweeting about.
The Antarctic is a strange place.
Maybe he failed the TSA screening for his flight?



As for the Hollow earth treasure hunting, seriously its probably non sequitur.

dioi.org...

I woke up to Steppenwolf this morning, and when I looked around I was lying on the floor of a burned out mansion 14 miles east of Montauk with pigeons from hell flying in and out the windows. You don't want to go there either..

Oh, there are even more interesting events in Antarctica:

What about the ongoing research at Lake Vostok?

What about the ongoing research at IceCube neutrino observatory placed 8000 feet below the ice surface?

What about the dramatic rescue of an American scientist at McMurdo a couple of years ago?

Okay, didn't we all learn in basic science in school that when water freezes it expands? If the ice is already over the ocean and breaks of and melts...it will take up LESS space or volume.

What about them?

Can you post some more info? Or at least a few links?

I don't know about any of this...
