ANTARTICA MYSTERIES

| ANTARTICA WORLD MAP |
This is Antarctica which has been away from the reach of humans for centuries and has been a big mystery for them, whether it is blood waterfalls, mysterious animals, underground lakes or cities buried under the ice. There are many such myths and mysteries about Antarctica which Even today, clues could not be found. Antarctica is the only continent in the world where no human lives because the temperature here goes up to -90 degrees Celsius and along with this, snow falls at a speed of 300 km per hour. Similarly, Antarctica is also the driest continent in the world, so dry that you will probably be surprised to know that it is also called a desert because it receives only 51 mm of rainfall. Despite all this, there has been a lot of rain in the last 100 years. Countries are trying to take control of Antarctica. See this map of Antarctica. France claims this part. Norway claims this part. Australia claims this entire right side. Similarly, Britain, Chile, Argentina.And New Zealand also claims some parts of Antarctica, but what is the reason for this? What is there under this layer of ice that the super powers of the world want to take control of it? Today we are going to solve some mysteries of Antarctica and also We will also find out who actually discovered Antarctica and finally we will also see what secrets are hidden under this ice which the super powers of the world know and that is why they want to take control of Antarctica.Who Discovered Antarctica Depends on Who You Are Asking The British say that they discovered Antarctica while the Russians say that they were the first to set foot here, but Antarctica was mentioned several thousand years ago by the Greek philosopher Aristotle when he said That the Earth is round and the North and South Poles are mirror images of each other. In 2021, a study by the Royal Society of New Zealand was published in which it was said that here near Australia, the Maori people who lived on the islands were probably the first people to reach Antarctica in the seventh century, because their old stories mention an icy continent that is on the southern side of the land. Well, in recorded history, British officer James Cook was the first European who Crossed the Antarctic Circle and reached near Antarctica, but he was still 130 km away from Antarctica when he turned his ship back because he could not see Antarctica but could see it in the water. Floating icebergs were definitely visible and the attitude of the sea was such that it took the ship forward. It was very dangerous to go, that is why James Cook had said that reaching this Southern Continent is so dangerous that hardly any person ever comes here. After Captain Cook, many other people tried to discover Antarctica but they could not succeed. Then with the arrival of the 19th century, a competition started among the countries for economic dominance. The world was now moving towards a new world order. Resources and new trade routes were being discovered. Industries were being established in every country in the coming new century. Wanted to become a super power and hence explorations were on the rise, in such a situation, in 1819, the Russian Empire gave the task to the Russian explorer Fabian Van Bellinghausen to circumnavigate the whole world and discover new countries and continents. In 1820, Fabian helped Captain Cook. The prediction was proved wrong and after reaching the Southern Ocean, he saw Antarctica very closely. Although he had not set foot on Antarctica, he is said to be the first person in modern history who had seen Antarctica between 1900 and 1920. Many explorers turned to Antarctica between 1911 and 1911. British explorer Robert Falcon Scott landed in Antarctica with his team in 1911 and went ahead for about 400 miles but then due to bad weather and hunger, he had to turn back but this return journey was very long. Scott and his team got trapped in severe cold and blizzard and all of them died. Then after World War One, many countries sent their teams here and this continent In 1939, at the behest of Hitler, the German Air Force also dropped Nazi flags here to show that this area was under the control of Nazi Germany. After the World War, many countries set up their research stations here and from here again Antarctica About Mysterious Discoveries started happening. The first and biggest mysterious discovery is that once upon a time there was no ice on Antarctica but dense forests. Scientists of Imperial College of London made it. According to them, they found fossilized wood here, which shows that about 90 million years ago, Antarctica was a hot continent where there were dense forests. Apart from this, they also found fossils of some insects which are found only in hot areas of Antarctica. The second big and mysterious discovery was that under this 3 km ice there are 400 lakes which have their own ecosystem. There are such marine animals which are not found anywhere in the whole world like these big spiders and sea through jellyfish. There is a different world under the ice.
Similarly, another thing on Antarctica that has puzzled many explorers for many years is these bloody glasses. These waterfalls in McMurdo's Valley are like this. It is as if blood is coming out of the ice, but recently scientists have discovered that the red color of this waterfall is because the water of this waterfall was coming from a very salty lake on which now several 100 feet of snow has fallen and That lake is completely cut off from the atmosphere. There is a lot of iron in this water and that is why when this water comes into the glasses, due to oxygen and sunlight, the iron present in the water is oxidised and it becomes completely rust-like. The third biggest mystery and conspiracy about Antarctica is that there is an ancient civilization under this ice. Many people have claimed that alien space ships have also been seen here. In 2016, many unusual activities took place in Antarctica on the Melt Earth. Conspiracy theories have been recorded where they keep calling these alien UFOs, while many political experts believe that these are secret air operations of America and other countries which they are doing in Antarctica and right here. Here comes the hidden political front of Antarctica about which very few people are aware. While the rest of the world is busy in other geopolitical issues, America, China and the Soviet Union are aggressively sending expeditions to Antarctica. In fact, China has set up multiple research stations there. According to the Antarctic Treaty of 1969, no country can carry out scientific activities in Antarctica. Can do investigations, only he will have to share the results of these studies with all the countries. In 1992, a survey of the US Geological Department revealed the discovery that Antarctica has 500 billion There are reserves of natural gas and oil in barrels, but China and these other countries are not interested in Antarctica for this oil and gas, but recently, reserves of rare earth minerals like Omium Presdi Mium Turbi and Dysprosium have been discovered in Antarctica in very large quantities. These are the minerals that are used in all electronic devices and because the world's focus is now shifting from oil and gas to the energy resources that power electronic devices, then these minerals The demand is more than oil and gas. Electric cars and ion batteries are now the future and this race to control the future has brought these superpowers into the ice and storms of Antarctica. The last mysterious discovery of Antarctica. These are the Southern Oceans of the world. The name of Southern Ocean comes among the dangerous seas of the world. It is the Southern Ocean that controls the climate and water supply of our world.Because it is also found along with Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. According to scientists, Southern Ocean absorbs 15% of the world's carbon emissions.And with global warming, the importance of this ocean is increasing because the ice frozen here is melting and due to the melting of ice, many treasures are now coming home to the seas in which humans would never even think of going. They could soon become important trade routes. Many studies are still going on in Antarctica and who knows what more mysterious things will happen about Antarctica in the future.
