Antarctica

many positives from tourism in Antarctica. People go there to see the beautiful sites such as glaciers, icebergs and other wonderful landscapes in Antarctica. These sites are very pleasing to the eye and mean that business’ get more money from all the tourism there, and since the number of people is increasing, these companies will, therefore, get more money and be more successful over the years. This is a more ‘business’ related positive to why people visit antarctica. Also, it's a once in a…

Antarctica, the world’s greatest freezer containing 90% of ice in the world is melting. Trillions of gallons are draining into the oceans, sea levels are rising and this could be dangerous for our planet. The reason behind the large amount of draining of this ice is due to the vast amount of water that is locked by ice in Antarctica, some of the Antarctic ice sheets are more than 2 miles thick, and if they melt they will dramatically raise see level. The melting has already started, and it is…

It inspires a strong realization of how fortunate we are to live on this beautiful planet and just how vulnerable it is. Antarctica truly is the last frontier, no country owns it; it’s bound by the Antarctic Treaty that dedicates this vast and frozen land to the sole purpose of Science and Discovery. I find that the journey for knowledge and the disseminating of facts and information…

people. But followers do the things that leaders do, but not as well. Leaders lead and show how they can do thing without anyone’s help, I also call that an MVP.we would not be able to live without leaders in this world. In a book I read Surviving Antarctica, there are five teens that are traveling to the South Pole, “like scott and his men” to risk their lives to get MVP, when you get MVP you get $90,000 but either way you get $10,000 if you live. Robert deserves MVP because he leaded most of…

evidence of an earthquake occurred in the Shandong province of China in 1831 B.C. ("Earthquake Facts"). It is said that Aristotle stated that soft ground shakes more than hard rock in an earthquake in 350 B.C. ("Earthquake Facts"). The interior of Antarctica has ice quakes, but occur within the ice sheet, instead of the land beneath the ice ("Earthquake Facts"). John Michell, a British engineer, was the first person to correctly state the cause of an…

is little more than one hundred years since humans first set foot on Antarctica and even today few people have visited the frozen and hostile southern continent. Although nine countries have territorial claims on the continent, several of them overlapping, these political disagreements were suspended in The Antarctic Treaty of 1959. In the Treaty (covering all areas south of 60 degrees South Latitude), it was agreed that Antarctica should be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and that…

A lot of researchers predict that if we keep burning a lot of fossil fuels that the ice in Antarctica will continue to melt at a very high speed. Researchers also predict that rest of the ice in the world will melt around the same time as Antarctica, and warm oceans will expand. They also found out that the melting could happen in as little as a thousand years, causing the ocean to rise by about a foot per decade. Researchers found out that if the sea level was to rise about 200 feet it would…

3.4 Results & Discussion 3.4.1 The growth ofGlaciozyma antarctica PI12 The growth curve of G. antarctica PI12 (Figure 3.1) showed that the exponential phase of G. antarctica PI12 took place over 48 hours (2 days) and reached the stationary phase at 144 hours (6 days). The plotting of the diluted curve (red line) supported the curve of the original sample (blue curve) where both lines sharing the similar pattern. Similar steps were carried out using the original culture as well as the 1.5 diluted…

up roamed some steps. It seemed like I was on one of the glaciers in some part in Antarctica...puzzled...I moved on, From a distant I saw a full grownup but lean and thin polar bear on the edge, her kids were playing around her in warmth love of their mother. Leaving the occasional clamor of the sea waves hitting the beaches, there was a dead silence all around. I used to know from my childhood days that Antarctica is full of life full of creatures, from, the lazy seals, the human like walking…
