The newly discovered lake may be the secret of the rise and fall of the Antarctic ice sheet
Scientists studying the eastern region of Antarctica, the bottom of the world’s largest ice sheet, have found a city sized Lake whose sediments may contain the history of the earliest formation of the ice sheet. This will answer some questions, such as what the Antarctic looked like before it froze, the impact of climate change on Antarctic history, and how the ice sheet may behave with global warming The lake is covered with two miles of ice and is located in a mile deep canyon in Princess Elizabeth highland, Antarctica,…
Antarctic and Arctic
Down Both the South Pole and the North Pole have polar day and polar night. Polar day and polar night are caused by the inclination of the earth’s rotation axis. With different latitudes, the length of polar day and polar night is different. At the north pole and the south pole, the polar day and polar night reach half a year respectively, that is, in the first half of the year, the north pole is day, the south pole is night, the north pole is night and the south pole…
