At the Vernadsky research base, a crew of 12 Ukrainians watch from thousands of miles away as their country is battered by Russian attacks.
In an unexpected turn of events the Ukrainian War has cast its specter in the southernmost reaches of Earth. The Vernadsky Research Base is a Ukrainian Antarctic Station at Marina Point on Galindez Island in the Argentine Islands, not far from Kyiv Peninsula. The region is under territorial claims between three countries (see Territorial claims in Antarctica). The single Ukrainian Antarctic station is named after the mineralogist Vladimir Vernadsky (1863–1945) who was the first president of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
A British research base was established in 1947 and transferred to Ukraine in 1996. Coordination and operational administration of the base is conducted by the National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine which is part of Ministry of Education and Sciences of Ukraine. The closest Antarctic stations are Palmer Station of the United States and Yelcho Base of Chile, reopened in 2015.
Just days ago an enormous ice shelf slid into the ocean raising fears of a rise in sea level that could have catastrophic results. Scientists are keeping an eye on the developing situation.
Like something out of a sci-fi novel. an amazing discovery has been made in the southern continent of Antartica. An enormous underground water system is forcing scientists to rethink their knowledge of this remote corner of our planet.
A press release by the lead author of the study, Chloe Gustafson, who did the research as a graduate student at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory reveals the scope of this amazing discovery.
People have hypothesized that there could be deep groundwater in these sediments, but up to now, no one has done any detailed imaging.
As exciting as the discovery is, it also indicates some dangers related to today’s climate crisis. The researchers warn that most of Antarctica’s sedimentary basins currently lie below current sea level, meaning that if the ice shelves were to pull back in a warming climate, ocean waters could re-invade the sediments, and the glaciers behind them could rush forward, raising sea levels worldwide.
Adventure marathoners and ultra athletes are always looking for the next big challenge. It could be a remote desert marathon, a high altitude mountain marathon or a jungle marathon. However, mainland Antarctica represents the last frontier, the final great wilderness to be conquered. And now adventure athletes like you can do it.
On 14th December 2022, the sixteenth edition of the Antarctic Ice Marathon (TM) is scheduled to take place at 80 Degrees South, just a few hundred miles from the South Pole at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains. Jewish TV Channel will willingly publish the full story of any contestant from any of our communities who will participate in this extreme events.
New Zealand is considered to be one of the world’s finest crop growing terrains. So it is a serious concern to hear about how that can all change. AgResearch researcher Zac Beechey-Gradwell spoke with NZ’s 1News,
Co2 is basically like sugar for plants, all other things equal, more Co2 will increase plant growth.
While, this is not of immediate concern, the implications are all too clear, failure to act today over CO2 emission levels, could cause a devastating problem in the near future that could lead to world famine.
Following the aftermath of a three week protest and occupation of Parliament grounds, a $3.5 million budget has been allotted to the Independent Police Conduct Authority for its inquiry into the protest.
