The coldest areas of the planet.




This publication is about exploring mysteries and enigmas of the most intriguing regions of the Earth from the aspect of science, of course, and from the real findings, from the findings made by the explorers who go there and take samples, not from what some conspiracy theorists say. With a lot of fantasy and little evidence, this does not mean that everything has been discovered, we would like everything to have been discovered in Antarctica, there is much left to discover and many mysteries to reveal.


Antarctica is the fourth largest continent in the world, it has about 14 million square kilometers of which 280,000 square km are free of ice in summer, a surface area that is unfortunately increasing. It is also the continent that has the highest average height due to to the ice cap that averages almost 2 km thick.


The thickest point of the ice is in a place called astrolabe basin, there the ice is 4776 meters thick, mount Montblan is the highest mountain in the Alps if it were in that place in Antarctica if it could, we would only see about A 13-meter rock emerges, I say that it could be there because we know thanks to radar and modern research that under the ice there are mountains, mountain ranges similar to the Alps and ancient Valleys and basins of ancient Rivers because Antarctica was green in the past.




Now it is a block of ice, but in the past it was linked to South America and Australia, it was linked to South America for a longer time and shared fauna with South America, in fact, fossils have been found, normally dinosaur fossils are found , but I believe that fossils of mammals will also begin to be found.


The important thing is that right now there are no trees and the only stream that deserves the title of River is the 32 km Onyx, but it only exists during the Antarctic summer, in fact Antarctica is the desert, the center of Antarctica is the desert More Dry land, dry because even though it is covered with ice it never rains there, there is never water, it is so cold that the only existence of water is in the form of ice or snow.


Antarctica holds important mining resources of gold, iron, coal, nickel, Uranus, platinum, diamonds and oil; If all the ice melted, the calculations for Antarctica were around 76 meters, the latest calculation for Greenland, which would also rise if the entire Greenland ice cap melted, would be around 6 to 7 m high at sea level. Globally, Greenland is at greater risk of complete melting, in fact, the latest research published a few weeks ago is that remains of herbs and plants that were in interior areas of Greenland had been found.


A time when Greenland was ice-free and that would influence a rise in sea level of approximately 6 to 7 meters.
