This map shows how the heat of the ocean destabilizes (and could melt) the Antarctic ice shelves.

Make a note of this before it all melts...

It's 30 F at McMurdo right now, but this is summer in Antarctica. To tell you the truth, I feel more "lost" in a big city than I do on the ice!

How cold does it get in Antartica?
Do you ever feel “lost” while you’re there? I would imagine on some level that it’s incredibly peaceful there. Just curious. 😁

Go look up the timezones for Antarctica and try to tell me this whole fucking thing isn't bullshit. The big time agenda has already won. Happy new year and fuck you I'm going to bed

Mushy ice and lost kit: The scientists studying Antarctica as it melts

A very long time ago I collected earthquake data in Antarctica and sent it to that place!

Last post of the year (2 weeks data), a tale of two extremes, Arctic gained 1,001,000 km and worst, Antarctica lost 2,310,000km huge improvement at 24th!
Antarctic 7,634,000km and only 100,000km below average. Arctic 12,106,000km and approx. 1.5 million km below average!

I hope you are right.... Incompetence can still cause a lot of damage, both domestically and internationally. Malevolent individuals won't miss the opportunity to act as the US flails around ineffectively, first threatening to take over a canal, maybe annex Antarctica next, who knows....

@bsky.app The good thing about Blue Sky is that I can make a post calling Antarctica a continent and not get death threats from flat earthers who demand that it be called an "ice wall" blocking us from Valhalla or some sort of floating island.
Critical Space Theory: Greenland is NOT the "largest landmass on Earth". The continent of Antarctica is over six times the size of Greenland. Greenland is the largest ISLAND on Earth. Also, what does Trump plan to do with the citizens of Greenland? Intern them?

Tomorrow is the last full day in Antarctica.
It may be a blessing: the snow floor in the tent started out flat & now it's a compacted canyon in the middle that's spreading outward. My tentmate & I have been migrating to opposite ends.
