Greatest Discoveries Found in Antarctica Up to Date

Antarctica is the coldest known place on the planet and for that reason, it’s probably not a very good destination hot spot for a lot of people. We know so little about the giant ice cap but we’ve learned so much in just the past few decades. In today’s video, we’ll go over some of the top discoveries we’ve made throughout history in Antarctica

The hole was made by Predators to reach the underground pyramid so that they can perform their right of passage and hunt aliens. It’s been well documented in the alien vs predator documentary in 2004.

Great content but narrator sounds constipated... just push it out man

[alexduke]

what about the map from the late 1400s? it shows the actual land mass under the ice and the mountains which we were just recently able to prove it was correct with a satellite that could penetrate the ice! how do you explain that?

[nobodyhere]

Antarctica wasn't always a frozen mystery? Maybe a greenland once? No shit!!! Not a surprise sorry

What do you mean my heart is the coldest place on the planet

I have learned to love You Tube. I am always using YouTube for listening to music, and do watch videos. I have gotten an email from You Tube and you really have restored my faith. I love the message you had to send with some awesome videos. Keep up the good work, and hope that you find a better company to partner up with. You just seem to outshine some if your partner companies. I have always turned to music when things were looking down, and used You Tube as a music hub. Now I can also look forward to really learning some fascinating things. My second passion. You do it with grace and integrity. You do deserve a public reply, not an email. Keep up the awesome work. I don't care if your partner companies see this. This is only the beginning of me speaking out. I have a 2 year long technological trail of proof to show that I do deserve my say, at the very least. I am going public, and I am not doing this for money, but for integrity, and to stand-up to the bullies I have been dealing with for the last 2 years. I can respect when a person or company stands up to their responsibilities instead of trying to use powers of intimidation. Your partners should be embarrassed. I do not scare easily. I stand up for what is right. I have not always made the right choices, but I always have excepted the consequences of my actions. You have proven better. I am a proud, milk, drinking Canadian. I now can prove it beyond reasonable doubt. You deserve a public reply not an email. I am happy to have you company in my life. Thank you You Tube. Great job. You have earned my respect.

Your absolutely right !! Hands down the best documentary on the alien phenomena!!

[naomifaria]

Yes, it's so instantly body freezing cold that we see scientists with bare hands and faces right out on the ice.

[adamchrysler]

Amen to that... V.O. Reminds me of the old skool 80's "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!" Monster Truck commercials... early Simpson's nailed it! - Adam C

Having spent over a year at an Antarctic base ( Casey), it is not as bad as some people make out.
By the way, the lowest ever temperature ever recorded is at Russian base Vostok -89.7 deg C.

One of the Nephilium farted.
Caused big hole in ice. 🤣

1) Fossilized Forests: "Scientists are at a loss to explain how it got there"
Scientists have known for quite some time that Antarctica was much closer to the equator many millions of years ago. At that time, there were forests on this continent.


2) Bacteria Discovery: "It needs little to no sun to survive. This means we're dealing with bacteria unlike anything we've seen before."
As a Biology Lab Tech, I can assure you I know about quite a few types of bacteria commonly found all around the world that don't really need the sun to survive. Most bacteria coud die of the cold but many types have "endospores" (meaning parts of themselves, kind of like an egg, that can withstand a lot of things without being truely alive but will "Hatch" into a fully living bacteria as soon as the conditions get better). The way scientists check for bacteria is by taking a sample and putting it in optimal conditions for most bacteria to grow. Therefore, those could actually only be "dead" bacteria which are "reborn" once the scientists analyse them.


3) The hole: "What do you think could've made a hole the size of a state without anyone noticing?"
I don't know, meteorite? The hole could've been there and not found before. Maybe there was a sink hole that collapsed a while back but was still covered by ice until it suddenly broke and let it show.


4) Mutated Seals: "May be using the Earth's magnetic field as a GPS"
Well, it's been established for a while now that birds have a rather similar ability. Spending millions of years in conditions where their eyes and hears are not enough, I'm not surprised they are evolving this way. Darwin explained it 200 years ago.


5) Super Old Ice: "Scientists have found ice as much as 100'000 years old and they're at a loss to explain this."
No, they're not. Glaciers in the Alps are thousands of years old. As the weather gets colder, snow falls onto the ice that's already there and keeps it cold, then more snow comes over that. The weight and cold provided by the snow that keeps falling turns the snow under into packed ice and it continues that way for a long time. Later, when temperature start rising again, the ice that melts first it what came the latest. Therefore, if you drill a hole into the ice and look at the bottom, you will have some very old ice in a place that has remained cold for as long as Antarctica has.


6) Penguins:
Humans have terrible behavior too. It's not exacly a shock to see others have a ruthless social hierarchy.


7) The temperatures:
You got side tracked into a completely unrelated subject of conspiracy theories...


8) Fires:
Plenty of vegetation was convered in the ice when Antarctica froze. Therefore some of it decomposed and probably produced some methane, trapped under the ice. As this gaz is highly flammable it is what we see in the images you show. Nothing here shocks me.


9) First Discovery: "Oh boy, do we feel sorry for the people who first discovered that place because they probably weren't expecting it to me sooo cold."
Well, they came by boat. They felt the temperatures dropping steadily as they we sailing south from the equator. They probably didn't expect to find a land there, but the ice and cold were no surprise.


10) South Pole:
Not extraordinary discovery there in my opinion.


I know I'm a cynic here but I do have issues with people saying thing like "Scientists are at a loss to explain..." when clearly the person saying it has never bothered to ask or never understood the answer...

Not millions of years since it was forested. Thousands. There is a known ancient map of Antarctica without ice. It changed in last 13, 000 years.

[toniesedrick]

Looks like a Giant resting on the stone...Hmmmm great video, leaves one with more than imagination.

[loonatic]

Do we not get any pictures of the state sized hole?

[jasonsmith]

In a condescending tone.... How the hell do you know a emperor penguin is being condescending??🤔😯😝

[archon]

3:00 Looks like the Atlantean outpost hole that SG1 discovered. Was there a transporter ring at the bottom then?

[currentresident]

Just wanted to mention of the Piri Reis map... Antarctica was definitely discovered way before the mainstream would have you think.

[LawofMoses]

9:28
That is methane gas leaking out from the ice. There is probably massive amounts of surface oil and gas as well.

[sayswho]

I like listening to you, you have a great voice, been a fan of your's for a long time now. Keep up the great videos!
