Anonymous Coward User ID: 1224007 United States 02/21/2011 07:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On reaching land, Bunger flew west for a time, then, coming up over the featureless, white horizon, he saw a dark, bare area which Byrd later described as, "a land of blue and green lakes and brown hills in an otherwise limitless expanse of ice." (18) Bunger and his men carefully reconnoitered the area before racing back to the Currituck with news of their find. The ‘oasis’ they had discovered covered an area of some three hundred square miles of the continent and contained three large, open water lakes along with a number of smaller lakes. These lakes were separated by masses of barren, reddish-brown rocks possibly indicating the presence of iron ore. Several days later, Bunger returned to the area, and found that the water was warm to the touch and the lake itself was filled with red, blue and green algae giving it a distinctive colour. Bunger filled a bottle with the water which later, "turned out to be brackish, a clue to the fact that the ‘lake’ was actually an arm of the open sea." (19) This is important for two reasons; warm, inland lakes connected to the surrounding oceans would be perfect for submarines to hide within, and similar lakes have been noted in Neu-Schwabenland, the site of the alleged Nazi base. There is no conclusive evidence of a Nazi base on Antarctica, however that something untoward was happening on, or around, the frozen continent appears, on balance of probabilities, to be likely.

Quoting: Mister ObviousWhat'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. After the pole shift we will find out. My money is one entrance to the center of the Earth and the remains of a lost civilization of giants. |

[link to books.google.com] "The Weddell Sea anomaly is a summer phenomenon which extends from the Falkland Islands to the southern shore of the Weddell Sea and most probably to the south pole. The anomaly consists of an unusual diurnal variation with the main maximum occurring around local midnight ... with a minimum during the day. This anomaly is a summer phenomenon, occurring when the ionosphere is continually illuminated, and it must be caused by drifts. The analogy is known for the northern hemisphere." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1272352 United States 02/21/2011 09:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seven countries currently ‘officially’ claim territory in Antarctica. A map of these claims looks like a pie chart, as all are centred on the geographical South Pole(*). If all those claims would be realised, one would be able to visit those seven countries by simply walking in a circle around that one point. But all territorial claims on Antarctica were ‘frozen’ by the Antarctic Treaty of 1961, which also stipulated that thereafter, no new claim could be made. Present claimants are: * France (Terre Adélie, since 1924) * Chile (Antárctica, since 1940) * Argentina (Antártida Argentina, since 1943) * Australia (Australian Antarctic Territory, since 1933) * United Kingdom (British Antarctic Territory, since 1908) * Norway (Dronning Maud Land, since 1939; Peter I Island, since 1929) * New Zealand (Ross Dependency, since 1923) (see map) [link to bigthink.com] |
