[quote:Anonymous Coward 0:MV8xMzY3OTU2XzIyNTYxNjgwXzFGQzM4Rjk2] [quote:ForgottenMuse] An oil field is a region with an abundance of oil wells extracting petroleum from below ground. Because the oil reservoirs typically extend over a large area, possibly several hundred kilometres across, full exploitation entails multiple wells scattered across the area... [/quote] Thank you for your contributions, Muse... :hf: [quote:Anonymous Coward 1189738] M.O., the Bezerk thread uncovered alot of the same research. - Comets both hit the GoM and Ant. [b]- Au organism, intelligent oil found in both places and now the intelligent oil splash zone in the Falklands. [/b] [/quote] I find this extremely interesting, in light of Muse's above contribution. [quote:Dr. House] Several million years ago it was in a tropical region of earth. Plate Tectonics shoved it southward and eventually it will creep back north and warm up again. Most likely with all this digging and exploring[b] we will stumble across a deadly ancient pathogen, release it back to the world, killing off most of us[/b]. [/quote] Nice thoughts... it's certainly possible. The unfortunate thing is by the time Antarctica gets warm again, we won't even be alive. I wanna know [b]NOW[/b]. Back to the comet impact theory... that's why I find the prediction of a looming impact in Antarctica VERY interesting especially since Elenin's discovery. The comet itself may not hit the planet... but what does the tail bring with it? My thought is that the comet is part of the Oort Cloud. Just a taste of what it's bringing. [/quote]
Original Message
What about its ancient history? How did it
really
become a 'frozen wasteland'?
What's under all that ice? And what is being hidden from us about Antarctica today?
I have a few 'TEOTWAWKI' theories, some involve Antarctica to a degree. Before I expound on those, I need to know more about the place... from scientific facts to theories and myths. Any points of note that you've ever heard or read about Antarctica... past, present, and future.
Input very appreciated.
