NASA maps features hidden under Antarctica ice - Live Chat Nov 18 2010.

WILL NASA DISCLOSE ANY ANOMALIES HIDDEN UNDER ICE?

Since Oct. 26, researchers have been making flights over Antarctica on NASA's DC-8 flying science laboratory to map ice surfaces and the features hidden below. Data collected are critical for understanding the dynamics of ice in West Antarctica and its impact on sea-level rise.

The flights are part of NASA's Operation IceBridge mission, wrapping up its second year of field campaigns at the end of November. The aircraft, crew and instrument teams are based in Punta Arenas, Chile, where they make flights -- weather permitting -- to the remote continent. Once there, teams operate any of the seven instruments to characterize the snow, ice, and bedrock.

On Thursday, Nov. 18, IceBridge scientists will be on hand from the field to answer your questions about the mission. Joining the chat is easy. Simply visit this page on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 1 to 2 p.m. EST. The chat window will open at the bottom of this page starting at 12:30 p.m. EST. You can log in and be ready to ask questions at 1 p.m. The time and date is subject to change due to changes in the flight schedule to meet requirements for good weather over science targets.

MYSTERIES OF ANTARCTICA

Antarctica has been alleged to be the site of an extra-terrestrial civilization, UFO - military encounter zone, ancient civilization, and secret Nazi base.

It has been alleged that the first United States Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, was imprisoned in a mental hospital and then killed because he wanted to disclose the UFO presence the Navy found there during Operation High Jump.


Navy's 1946-7 Operation Highjump contacts UFO civilization in Antarctica?


RUINS OF LOST CITY FOUND IN ANTARCTICA

...there will now be a ridiculous amount of ATS members joining the chat asking "crazy" questions about UFOs and the like. Should be fun to see their responses because I'm sure it definitely isn't what they are expecting.

The entire region is blocked on google earth.

but who'd just wanna see snow, right?

I'm a huge Lovecraft fan so this post was very interesting. Perhaps it is Kadath I just hope there's no spiders that eat people

However, are we to trust NASA (Never A Straight Answer)?
I question their motives and will be skeptical of their answers.

Hmm I'm starting to see a lot of correlation with Antarctica and everything that lies south of the equator. It seems we need some investigators of our own to go down and see what's going on there. Also I wonder if it will like one of those crystal caves that were showcased on National Geographic.

well... my mind is blown, and trust me it takes a lot to get me stumped. I really don't know what to believe, but I'd bet money on the fact there is a real advanced civilization living on the earth some where (we are not advanced, we're probably not even half way there) and Antarctica seems like the spot!

I have always thought Atlantis may be covered in ice

After NASA's letdown of the Space object that was just a Black hole.
I am completely deflated..
no energy for excitement.

Antarctica man, thatd be the spot! Think about it. We know about the polar shift, and that north and south poles were once east and west. Which would make them a lot more habitable. Think of them as once being climately like the US/S. America and Europe/Asia/Africa making them the prime place to live. While those countries would have, at one time been your north and south poles. And then the polar shift occured over time locking them in ice and keeping all the secrets frozen in time. Also imagine if a civilization was able to advance in sciences even beyond our own, they could have just went underground building entire cities/bunkers under the ice. There should be plenty of remnants. I think this is what the nazis and US were getting into and discovering after WWll.
I bet they find some cool # down there, of course well only hear less than a percent of it. Theyll just tell us about the primitive tools and basic stuff like that.

Reminds me of the Piri Reis maps found in the 1500s. They obviously were copies of copies of copies ect...that had been passed down for generations. These maps showed the eastern coast of S. America and mapped the shoreline of antarctica as it exists under the ice. Which has been covered with ice for thousands and thousands of years. Something we were only recently capable of doing in the last century using ground penetrating radar.
Alright I better go im soundin like Von Daniken, and that aint me man.

Aww crapola..

UPDATE: The IceBridge Web chat is postponed until Thursday at 1 p.m. EST. If the flight Thursday is scrubbed, the chat will still take place Thursday from the mission's base in Punta Arenas, Chile.

In the meantime

Lake Vostok lies beneath the Russian base in Antarctica. Its a fresh water lake miles beneath the ice but not frozen...

Ice core samples they have been taken show a 415,0000 year history of global warming and ice ages between...

Look at the chart below... Ice cores don't lie. Go out and buy parkas and blankets, lay in some food and firewood yer gonna need it

Vostok Ice Core
www.ncdc.noaa.gov...

In January 1998, the collaborative ice-drilling project between Russia, the United States, and France at the Russian Vostok station in East Antarctica yielded the deepest ice core ever recovered, reaching a depth of 3,623 m (Petit et al. 1997, 1999). Preliminary data indicate the Vostok ice-core record extends through four climate cycles, with ice slightly older than 400 kyr (Petit et al. 1997, 1999).

They started finding unknown microbes so stopped short of drilling into the lack for fear of releasing 420,000 year old bugs onto the earth. Plans are to send ENDURANCE down there to look. ENDURANCE is a robot that they plan to use to look under the ice on Europa, Jupiters moon

A quick Google search shows that there is no "Atlantis TV" production company in existence, casting doubt on anything mentioned here.

The last link the OP's first post mentions the production missing since 2002. If those claims cannot be confirmed, then there is no reason to believe any of it.

The OP is about a legitimate NASA endeavor with links to the NASA website that is real

The reference to Atlantis TV was an old story created for a book "Raising Atlantis": where they discovered a lost Mars probe that crashed in Antarctica.

The original story was released as a new broadcast

U.S. Admits "Salvage Operation" Underway in Antarctica
www.thelivingmoon.com...

There was also a recent thread on another version on ATS that showed images of a recovered craft under the ice. Interesting stories... but both those are fiction



Can't find that other thread right now dang it


Edit to add... here it is

Ditto, youd think that if there was a whole TV crew missing, we would be able to find SOMETHING such as news reports, newspaper reports, hell even the enquier magazine, but all i found was this same exact article over and over again, it will be interesting though if there really were some things found under the ice, i just cant find anything else about it besides this same article so its hard for me to believe the rest if I cant even find a news crew missing.

I watched some of the first link about Operation High Jump, Admiral Byrd's expedition to Antarctica, and an ensuing battle with flying discs engaged with the aircraft carrier Casablanca. Yet when I look up the history of this ship, it was decommissioned in 1946 and sold in 1947, eventually for scrap. Yet the battle supposedly took place in 1947. Someone made a mistake it seems.

ARE THERE HOLES AT THE POLES?

Please see new thread here : OMG! Is that a HOLE in the Moon? Apollo 13 pics

Those NASA Antarctica researchers might know.

Some allege that Admiral Byrd's plane disappeared somehow into some kind of dimensional hole in Antarctica. Hollow earth advocates claim that seismic models of earthquake propagation don't work unless a virtual cavity is assumed in the earth. (Don't know if thats true). Always thought it curious that the Bible (Ex: Rev 5:13 and elsewhere) specifically mentions creatures on earth AND under the earth.

The idea of a hollow earth or hollow moon seemed totally preposterous a short while ago, and I still find it giggle-worthy. But now I guess we the people need to exercise critical thinking and devise tests for everything and get results without intermediaries with agendas!

My question for NASA polar explorers: Have you experienced any anomalies? Will you be providing the public with high resolution imagery of the poles? It would be convenient if it could be loaded into Google Earth.

yeah exactly what i was thinking about ! this map is not proven to be a false one, and it shows the exact limits of earth under the snow in antartica... and this map is know to be a copy af an ancient map, made by Piri Reis, maybe using an old egyptian map...

some french scientists even said that such a map could ONLY have been draw from the air.... using a plane (en.wikipedia.org... for instance)

amazing

I know it is Wiki, but they list the Operation Highjump as ending in February 1947, 6 months earlier than planned. The flagship of the operation was the USS Mount Olympus.

Operation Highjump Wiki Link

Take a look. My question would be.... Why did they need a submarine on this mission?

Icebreakers, supply ships, seaplane tenders, aircraft carrier and escort vessels....Yes, but why a submarine?

maybe they used the submarine to break some ice

more seriously, think about cold war, spies, international waters, and the necessity of having a submarine capable of an underwater surveillance in case of the russian send a sub too .

my idea, worth a penny ?
