This is a voyage to Antarctica for which you will embark in January 2024.
As the Northern Hemisphere grapples with record summer heat, an alarming climate record is breaking in the depths of the Antarctic winter. Antarctic sea ice, which normally expands during the winter months, has plunged to unprecedented low levels, raising alarm among scientists around the world. Is it about the disappearance of the ice in Antarctica?!
In 1912, the ship Endurance embarked on the Royal Antarctic Expedition. The journey began in Norway and tragically ended in the Weddell Sea when the ice crushed the ship. After 107 years, the wreck was located, offering an opportunity for Arctic exploration and discovery of the legendary ship's path.
Although we sometimes think that we already know everything about our planet, this is far from the case. This is especially true for hard-to-reach places. Antarctica is certainly in a class of its own among such areas.
Astrobiologist Cyprien Verseux, along with 12 other people, is currently serving at the Concordia Station - the most remote scientific station in the world, located in Antarctica. His work includes sample collection and climate research, and he shares his impressions on a blog.
Some of us dream of tropical vacations, warm weather and sunny beaches. Well, this is definitely not photographer Karen Jacot's dream destination. What caught her attention was the most distant continent on the planet, Antarctica. When she finally reached the frozen shores, she battled extremely cold temperatures and began to learn about historical sites, play with penguins and marvel at the incredible beauty. And her photos will convince you too - now Antarctica will be on your list of dream destinations too.
Just as the sun or global warming is melting the ice in Antarctica, these aerial shots of the DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter piloted by filmmaker Kalle Ljung will melt your heart. On a multi-week trip with his father, he captured truly incredible scenes that will take your breath away while sailing a sailboat.
Today, various running trials take place around the world. A few runs around the world undoubtedly stand out, and among them we also find some of the weirdest and craziest runs organized by Americans. Have you ever heard of running in ugly pilovers, or the "dangerous" marathon in Africa, where animals keep us company while running. Only a handful of die-hard runners take part in Antarctica's coldest run each year. Are you ready for the most challenging run or one that will make you laugh during the activity?
On its ongoing journey, Google Street View has so far documented more than 8.05 million kilometers of the world, i.e. more than 50 countries on seven continents, and on its way around the world it also visited the southernmost continent.
A box with 22 photographic negatives frozen in ice for a century was discovered in Antarctica!
Ian Hey did something not many people would. He spent one year of his life in cold Antarctica. The latter is considered a pristine continent and a world that is completely separate from the rest of our planet. This is exactly what makes Antarctica so much more special.
