Scientists Terrifying New Discovery Under Antarctica's Ice

Alien, the Earth is full of hidden mysteries that humans have barely scratched the surface of. One of these Mysteries is the frozen land of Antarctica, but what happens when all the ice melts? What kind of secrets do the sub-zero regions of Antarctica keep? and the harsh conditions have prevented humanity from diving too deeply. Everything we've discovered so far has been a fascinating and absolutely

terrifying

combination, from incredible creatures to never-before-seen phenomena. Antarctica is a land full of possibilities and all you need to do is look. Beneath all the frozen water, join us today as we take you through 15 Terrifying Things Discovered in Antarctica That Changed Everything.

Stay tuned until the end for some pretty interesting stuff. Number 15 Underground lakes. Anyone who has the slightest knowledge of geography knows this. Lakes and oceans are two completely different types of bodies of water, but the Southern Ocean doesn't follow the rules. In 1970,

scientists

had a hunch that a completely different ecosystem existed in Antarctic waters, something that had never been seen before in Antarctica. The waters contain entire lakes within them, an estimated 400 lakes, in fact these lakes lie under three kilometers of ice. And

scientists

believe they formed during the separation of Antarctica from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana and the reason why the lakes continue to flow rather than freeze. in the Antarctic oceans below zero is due to underwater pressure.

Lake Vostok was the first of its kind discovered in the 1990s. It is also the largest subglacial lake ever found in the region and lies 2.5 kilometers beneath the ice. A sample has just been taken from the lake. The water in the lake was found to have a temperature of negative three degrees while it was covered by ice for more than 20 million years. However, the most significant breakthrough came in 2014 at Lake Willins, when scientists discovered entire lakes and ecosystems composed of microorganisms and other signs of life existing within them. These lakes and the scary thing is that these species have not been exposed to sunlight for millions of years and yet they exist and grow using methane and ammonium as energy sources.

This also means that there are high chances of an entire system of lakes, estuaries, rivers. and even volcanoes that exist beneath Antarctic waters, however, studying them is a challenge considering how difficult it is for scientists to look beneath all that frozen water. However, Never Say Never is number 14. Tropical jungles and fossils that speak of signs of life. The Antarctic region is also home to tropical forests considering the climate of the place, it is quite difficult to imagine signs of tropical trees and creatures living there much less flowering and thriving, but it is possible that the truth is that before Antarctica became a desert frozen after the Ice Age, it was actually a warm tropical region. with rainforests upon rainforests and some also believe there were entire civilizations living in this warm region, although that all ended when ice covered the land.

This is a popular theory because scientists have discovered several samples of fossilized tropical tree wood and leaf impressions that not only prove the existence of tropical forests in the region, but scientists have also found tons of fossils of marine animals, birds and even dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period and that could only have been possible if the earth had once been warm and if there were other There are signs that can be demonstrated: the region is also replete with fossils of a species of beetle that lived about 20 million ago of years and after research it was discovered that the insects could only have existed in a warm climate.

All of these fossils and discoveries have humans wondering whether or not Antarctica could hide real tropical forests within its depths, and if so, we wonder what kind of new creatures and maybe even civilizations live there. Number 13. Singing ice Now it is not surprising to discover ice in Antarctica, but singing ice, what does it mean when Researchers set out to study ice change in Antarctica and were surprised to find a glacier that sang. That's right, the entire Ross Ice Shelf is always making music. It is known to be the largest platform in Antarctica. About the entire size of France it forms the Ross Ice Shelf. an eerie sound that is almost like a melody because of the winds blowing over the snow dunes, the winds crash against the surface of the dune and create vibrations that produce continuous seismic tones, so Shelf is always singing and while the sounds are not audible to human ear Scientists have used seismic sensors to hear the melodies.

They describe them as extremely sad and melancholic for some reason, making it so scary that the song would be discovered by accident when researchers used seismic sensors to observe other behaviors of the ice slab, but they have since discovered that as the environment changes, the song changes too, so now they use the song to monitor the stability and vulnerability of the ice shelf while tracking any collapse when the music turns into a hump, which has left them wondering whether or not one . day glaciers could also start singing songs that can be heard by human ears number 12. ice holes in 2017 the world witnessed a hole the size of Ireland open in Antarctica known as Poland the hull stretches across 78,000 kilometers and is the largest hole that has opened in the region since the 1970s.

The hole was formed due to warm, salty water in deeper parts of the sea. These holes are scientifically known as cryoconite holes, which means which are made of ice and dust these holes consist of rock particles and even tiny microbes tend to absorb heat from sunlight which causes the ice beneath them to melt and then that results in the formation of holes which cause It seems that the earth is collapsing on itself, according to scientists, these holes could be a combination of the unusual conditions of the ocean and climate in Antarctica combined with the intense storms that usually occur in the region with hurricane-force winds forming the hole when the wind pushes all the ice to one side with intense force, the truth is that they are actually more severe than they seem.

They contain extreme amounts of water vapor, a powerful greenhouse gas that warms the sea and intensifies the cyclones that will follow and with predictions of these offshore holes becoming more and more common with climate change, the idea of ​​what kind of disasters they can bring is truly

terrifying

. Scientists are still determining what else these holes do, but we all know that they fill with water that can support the life of cold-adapted microorganisms in the 11th summer of Mount Arribus. Most people find it hard to believe that Antarctica is home to tons of volcanoes, after all, the region is completely covered in ice and cannot be a region where molten lava erupts, right or wrong.

Ross Island is home to four different volcanoes, while three of them are dormant, the fourth is called Mount Arribus and its volcanic activity has increased over the last 30 years, leading scientists to believe that the return will also could be capable of causing greater volcanic activity. As for Mount Arribus, the volcano is filled with liquid magma and ancient lava lakes that have been boiling. For around 1.3 million years, Mount Arribus has been one of the most mysterious wonders in the world and is also one of the most active volcanoes that scientists have ever discovered in the Antarctic region, with a height of up to 3,800 meters;

However, that is all we know about the nature of this volcano is due to the fact that it is located in a very remote and dangerous region where weather conditions are unpredictable. Even then, a group of scientists climbed the summit in 2013 and later found organisms living within the heat of the volcano, not only that, but they also discovered. There are many ice caves with microorganisms growing in the ground and these creatures are considered some of the most unique discoveries ever made in the 10th region of Antarctica. The oldest pyramids in the world It is now difficult to imagine pyramids being discovered anywhere except in the warm region of Egypt, where the pharaohs lived and ruled, but what if I told you that Antarctica was also home to a civilization that built and lived in pyramids to survive the environment of the region?

Traditional geologists have never really understood how life could thrive at the edges of Antarctica, but this

discovery

could be the answer to everything. In 2016, scientists captured satellite images of the region that showed a strange formation poking out from the ice and, Although the region was extremely remote and dangerous to reach, they believed this was a sign of a man-made pyramid. In Antarctica the structures looked almost like those in Egypt but the truth is that the Antarctic pyramid is much larger than the Great Pyramid of Egypt. The only reason why they are not talked about as much is that scientists have never been able to get there. to them.

This opens up the possibility that ancient human ancestors lived and grew up on the Antarctic continent at some point and some researchers also believe that the entire civilization once lived in Antarctica, although all signs of its existence are now buried under the snow and let's be real. . It's pretty easy to believe with all the evidence, however, some geologists actually believe that because this pyramid-shaped structure is located in the Ellsworth Mountain Range, it is the peak of the mountain range. What story do you believe? I'll leave it in the comments below. number nine ancient meteorites humans were not the only civilizations that thrived in Antarctica in the past, scientists have found overwhelming evidence of extraterrestrial life that existed in the region, but how can this be said well given the enormous amounts of rainfall of meteorites that the place has received, it seems that intergalactic beings love that side of the world, while you can find meteorites falling all over the Earth, the amount of them is crazy in Antarctica, the first meteorite in Antarctica was discovered there by 1912 and since then scientists have found There are several meteorite-rich regions throughout Antarctica, it could be due to the cold, dry conditions of the region that better preserve the rock fragments, but even so meteorites are also easier to detect in Miles and Miles of ice.

East Antarctica in particular is known for having the entire summit. layers of its earth covered with vast concentrations of meteorites that have been part of the earth for billions of years. More than twenty thousand samples have been collected and the number is only increasing. The largest meteorite ever discovered, weighing 18 kilograms, has also been found in Antarctica. Not only that, but researchers have also found a piece of Mars in the region which shows that it is definitely a magnet for intergalactic activity and there really is no other explanation. Number Eight Antarctic Fungi Tons of microorganisms have been discovered in Antarctica, including an endemic species of fungus that generally flourishes in warm climates, but have somehow also managed to thrive in the cold winters of Antarctica.

These fungi feed on wood and are everywhere in the wooden cabins where the first explorers lived. They are a highly evolved species that has adapted to hostile environments. of the region, which could be the reason why they are some of the most unique creatures on the planet. Additionally, another type of fungus has been growing in the region and feeds on oil containers that were abandoned by the Explorers, a Again, it is an evolutionary trait that has been found. in fungi that only exist in the Antarctic area and nowhere else today scientists are trying to find out if these oil-eating fungi can help us clean up major oil spills around the world and imagine how fascinating that would be the number seven.

The prohibited sector not much. Many people actually know this fact, but Antarctica has a prohibited sector where no one can set foot except authorized people. Of course, think of this as region area 51 and no one knows what's really going on there, leading everyone to believe that scientists. They hide some secrets, even if you try to take a look and see what is beyond that border, the guards immediately capture you and then take you inside and no one has been able to find out what happens after the officials saythat the region is protected because it is the only place where emperor penguins are found.

No humans are allowed in to ensure no harm is done to their colonies, but who's to say that's the only thing happening in this protected region. The third man factor number six, the third main factor. It is not limited to Antarctica, it is a phenomenon that can be experienced anywhere, but explorers have reported extremely strong experiences of the third man factor in Antarctic regions. The third main factor means that you often feel someone's overwhelming presence in times of distress with the figure. guiding you when you're lost and making you feel safe Due to the harsh conditions of Antarctica and the unusual hours of sunlight and darkness, tons of people experience hallucinations in the area, which could be what causes that third man factor.

Explorers have reported cases where they can see shadows. that have been thrown into nothingness across the infinite planes of the Region. Ernest Shackleton was an Explorer whose entire group experienced the phenomenon in the area during their travels but that was just the beginning. Shackleton's story is a bit like that, him and his companions were trying to travel to South Georgia Island by boat after a grueling journey, they attempted to cross a whaling station in search of food and shelter, but as they walked, the entire group, which consisted of three people, believed that another mysterious presence I walked next to them. for 36 hours over mountains and glaciers and everyone believed there were four and not just three, since then tons of people who have been stranded or struggling to find their destination in Antarctica have reported feeling the presence guiding them along the right path and it could be something about the depression of the situation, but it could still have something to do with the Antarctic region itself.

Number four broken compasses for some strange reason the compasses never seem to work properly at the North Pole. The scientific explanation is that the North Pole is highly magnetic and interferes with the magnetic field of the compass, but why does this happen? It's mainly because Earth's magnetic fields curve around the planet's spherical shape, meaning compasses will never be reliable there and even though scientists do know it. today and take preventative measures to avoid getting lost or confused while traveling in the region. The early explorers had no idea this was so, so the many corpses found in the area could also be people who had gotten lost and never found them.

At the same time, some conspiracy theorists actually believe that the compass story is a plot to get people to stay away from some areas of the continent where unspeakable Mysteries are hidden and not only compasses, but modern technology, Like GPS systems, they also do not work properly at the North Pole of the Earth as they are also impacted by the planet's magnetic field, the reason this happens is that essentially a GPS also needs a compass to work and when that compass stops working so does GPS, could there be some truth to all this? these conspiracy theories and what do you think?

Blood Falls number three on the list of the creepiest things ever discovered in Antarctica, this one is definitely in the top three. Imagine finding a river of blood in the middle of pure white snow, which is a site that could scare anyone located in McMurdo Drive Valley, there is a deep red waterfall that seems to be spilling blood. The waterfall is five stories high and looks like a stream of blood coming out of the Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonnie and for a while scientists didn't. I actually don't know what this strange blood-like liquid was, however today they have discovered that this water looks so deadly because Blood Falls was once a very salty lake that is now isolated from the atmosphere due to ice formations, As a result, the water has become saltier over time and because of that salt content it simply cannot freeze.

The water is also extremely rich in iron which gives it its color and it does not receive oxygen or sunlight and that is why it turns a dark red color that can only be seen. by helicopter or cruise ships visiting the Ross Sea number two UFO sightings as mentioned above the Antarctic region is rich in alien activity in addition to meteor showers scientists have discovered numerous spacecraft that look nothing like Of course, these regions are once again remote and difficult to find, so through satellite images researchers have found formations and marks that are evidence of extraterrestrial activity in the region.

There are no concrete explanations for these signs of crashed planes and dozens of UFO sightings that people experience annually. UFO hunters around the world believe that Antarctica is the perfect place for aliens to form their base of operations on Earth due to its inaccessibility to humans and well, there may be plenty of evidence to prove their claims to be true. number one that Atlantis in the underwater world is a mystery. that humans have been trying to discover for quite some time and it looks like our answers might actually lie in the icy depths of Antarctica. Atlantis is a city that is said to have fallen underwater never to be seen again, however some people believe it did.

I never found evidence of Atlantis because the city is actually buried and frozen under the Antarctic ice, not only that but there is also evidence saying that Hitler had used the Antarctic waters to form an underground base for himself and the Nazis because no one I could reach them. I say this there because in the late 1930s the Nazis had shown interest in visiting Antarctica, they were sent on an expedition to search for the area and claim a part of it for Germany and although the claim never happened, that has not stopped them. People think that the Nazis could have used the land very differently.

What do you think of these scary things that have been discovered in Antarctica and which one scared you the most? Be sure to tell us all about it in the comments below.
