Do NASA satellites fly over Antarctica?
At the other end of the world, this October NASA’s Operation IceBridge will make its sixth trip to fly over Antarctica, collecting data on sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets.
Why is Antarctica so restricted?
Travel to Antarctica is strictly controlled under the Antarctic Treaty which aims to protect the continent for peace and scientific research. The 53 countries under the treaty, including New Zealand, apply to conduct operations on the ice. The majority of work is carried out by the military or contractors.
Are there no pictures?
Yes, I started in a film only world. We bought a roll of film and took our vacation photographs. We had them developed and printed.
Is the North Pole made of land or ice?
Unlike Antarctica, there’s no land at the North Pole. Instead it’s all ice that’s floating on top of the Arctic Ocean. Over the past four decades, scientists have seen a steep decline in both the amount and thickness of Arctic sea ice during the summer and winter months.
What are some of the weird things you see in Antarctica?
Big structures, monsters, rows of tanks, hidden ufo’s, crash and take-off marks etc. Antarctica is a big mainly frozen place, the wind blows a lot, it snows, it thaws too sometimes, water expands when it freezes, ice that is over water can crack making unusual patterns.
Is Antarctica a secret planet?
Antarctica is a long way away from where you live, wherever you live. Not many people have been there, it’s difficult and expensive to get there, it seems like some sci-fi ice-planet place and really exciting. It isn’t “secret” though, just not well known.
Why don’t bacterium live in Antarctica?
The bacterium cannot live in Antarctica so they continue their highly sophisticated secret society under the ice, just occasionally sending out for pizza. Everything referred to on this map is made up, some of it by me, most of it by other people
Why doesn’t NASA take pictures of Earth?
Even though we’ve had good, high-resolution cameras for nearly 100 years, NASA has never taken a true photograph of the Earth. By their own admission, all of the pictures we see are composites, paintings or computer-generated images.
