A vortex, a "gate", found under the ice of Antarctica? Sounds like someone at Pravda's been watching Stargate SG-1. Any SG-1 fans out there know what I'm talking about....

Last Wednesday we witnessed a unique meteorological event: during an unusually clear day I noticed a "cloud wall" moving toward the station. It was a huge, thick front: solid gray/white Altostratus clouds marching slowly in from the grid south... over Summer Camp... then the Dome... then the Sun was completely obscured. It looked as though someone were slowly pulling a huge quilt over the entire Polar Plateau! If you looked one way, the sky was a clear, dark blue; but if you turned around, it was so white you couldn't even see the horizon between ice and sky. Wow!
Thursday I got on a "space available" to go on a one-day snowcraft course. This trip goes to "Room With A View", a site on the lower flank of Mt. Erebus. It is mainly a modified course for people staying the winter (you learn how to set up a radio, light a stove, set up a tent, etc) but it includes learning to travel with snowmobiles. We had about 14 people, and loaded 2 old Nansen sleds (the same kind that the old polar explorers used to use...they are made of wood and lashed together for flexibility in the cold weather) with all kinds of gear. It was snowing and blowing, cold and nasty-looking. The sleds were hooked to snowmobiles and pulled along. Each sled had three passengers and another person in the back to help lean and to apply the brake when stopping. There were four snowmobiles, two towing the sleds, and each one had two people on it. I got to drive one that pulled a sled! It was fun, but VERY cold! We went about 3/4 mile to Silver City, and stopped to get out of the weather. It was then we decided that it was too nasty outside to proceed to Room With a View - you couldn't see ANYTHING, and we would have gotten awfully cold. We ate lunch, learned about radios and stoves, and then came back to McMurdo. Of course, about the time we got back into town the weather started clearing up. ...

Could it be the magnetic anomaly that was found 3 miles down in the ocean have an influence on time in Antarctica?

I think this story is fabricated by Pravda in order to sell papers. However I'm curious about this anomaly you referred to. Do you have any links?
