Ross Ice Shelf Research | Continent 7: Antarctica

Explore the Ross Ice Shelf with the Continent 7: Antarctica team. Dangerous crevasses, extreme cold, unknown territory, whatever the challenge these scientists get the job done.

About Continent 7: Antarctica:
At -100 degrees F, you'll survive for less than 3 minutes and burn 5,000 calories a day, and boiling water can turn to snow instantly. And, at less than 1% humidity, your body will lose water just breathing. This is Station Zero: Antarctica, where close-knit communities of scientists, engineers, and hardened field vets have forged an existence unlike anything on our planet.

I was hoping to see the ice melt data! I've heard that if the Ross ice shelf melts then countries which are at sea level would flood!? Is this true or false please?

Something so mysterious being explored by a bunch of rich spoiled boys it's a waste of money, time, and nature. Looks like they are on a vacation...
