What do YOU think is under the ice in Antarctica?

[TychoMonolyth]

Dormant viruses and stuff ready to turn us all into zombies.

Seriously though, since it was not at the pole one time, would be nice to see a human settlement or something. A pyramid maybe?

 

[trichrider]

they recorded temps north of 65 last week so we will find out soon enough!

that's preposterous.

where they measured that temperature was closer to Argentina than the pole. it also happens to be where the ocean currents are funneled because of the underwater structure that once linked the two and that would include volcanically warmed water from under the ice shelf.


i would hazard that it's just rock, you know like the rest of this planet.

 

[armedoldhippy]

Have been reading up on Antarctica and there's some really interesting and trippy things going on there.
I've heard the theory that before the poles shifted, it was land and there was a ancient civilization there.

So what do you think? Any sane or crazy ideas?

still is land there. got mountains sticking up. under the ice? i hope never to know. that is for other generations to discover...

If they dig deep enough, they're liable to find the wedding ring I lost on our honeymoon. It was that long ago that I got married. LOL

And (for all you global warming freaks), yes, it was a tropical paradise when we were there. But then, when we got married, we were going to go to Egypt to see the pyramids for our honeymoon. But, they weren't done building them so we went to Babylonia. Damn, seems like a long time ago. I wonder how old Khufu is doing. Guy sure knew how to throw a party. Not like Caesar. But, pretty damn close. LOL

Swear there was a dude on IC that claimed he lived under the ice in antartica and was growing atlantis weed.

Aliens man

 

[xavier7995]

I would not be opposed to the idea of some dudes with big drills or flamethrowers just having at it and seeing how far down they get.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Just use a giant magnifying glass...

Or wait.

The new Og Kush

 

[mean mr.mustard]

There's no new OG.

Only the original 378 varieties.

 

[Benny106]

Does no one remember the guy who used to post from a bunker in antartica

 

[Hermanthegerman]

A secret Nazi Fortress?

 

[Capra ibex]

Uhhhh, plain old land?

Either that or the Deep State hideout of course

 

[rod58]

wombats i reckon . those bastards can dig a mile or two !

 

[Donald Mallard]

definitely a land mass , its a continent ,
im pretty sure Australia and Antarctica were once good friends and closer than they are today ...
old mate that was on our old 100 dollar note , mawson i think was his name ,
did a fair trek of the place and was lucky to survive , the only one of his crew from memory ,
its an unforgiving place ...

OK.... Time for a serious reply.

OK.... Time for a serious reply.

OK. Time for a serious reply.

Antarctica is the coldest, most desolate place on Earth, a land of mountains, with a vast plain on the east(?) coast, all buried beneath a two-mile thick ice cap. For most of the past 100 million years, the south pole was a tropical paradise. There is also very strong evidence that it was still quite warm, even by today's standards, as early as 2000 years ago. Some scientists think even later during the dawn of the middle ages only 1000 years ago.

Pollen from tropical plants were found in drill cores from half a mile under the seabed at Wilkes Land in east Antarctica. The same was found in the Arctic cores.

Since it was so recent, I vote for a sudden Earth Crust Displacement 4-6000 years ago as opposed to the melting of the ice caps raising the sea levels 300 feet. That's a reasonable explanation for 100 million years ago, but for recent time? Line 1500 years ago? Something else happened. So I think there could be some evidence of human settlements buried under all that ice.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

So aliens right?

 

[pahut]

Thanks for the detailed reply Tycho. I tend to agree with you. I do believe there is an alternate reason the US and others are so interested in the continent, but it's merely hearsay at the moment.


What do you think about the points made in this video re: when Antarctica was tropical and what caused the change in climate, as recent as the 1700s. He's got some wicked vids with awesome finds on Antarctica, you've just gotta skip the bs videos lol.
