something goes wrong ? Antarctica

reply to post by spacekc929



i agree!!!! the red rock is nothing. the fact that you can see it because it's not under ice is a problem and WHAT ABOUT THE HUGE CRACK???

Imo I don' think that the fact it isn't under ice is a big problem. If you zoom out on google earth you can clearly see that its part of a mountain range and you can visibly see the most of the peaks. What is concerning is that the two photos do make it evident that the ice is melting.

Looks like red rocks to me.
Nothing alarming about it.

The questions is what about the cracking ?

not funny go away..
thank you

My guess would be all of the edits:
By looking at the photo data, it looks like it has been heavily edited.

Also, Take a look at a satellite photo of Canada, one in July, and one in January. You will see something TRULY SCARY...... ALL OF THE SNOW AND ICE IS GONE IN JULY!!!!!! Take that in... it is terrifying. Also, there is 7 years
between the 2 pictures.

You said this was a mountain range right?? The crack is simply sliding/moving sheets of snow and ice..



Just sayin!

Lighten up, it was amusing (I was thinking it when i read it : P ). And ice moves and breaks and cracks all the the, nothing new here.

Are these two different months of the years as normal thaw looks like this and also opens crevasses, quite a different thing then a fault.

There is a normal seasonal melt, but this is interesting...

"A 30-year minimum Antarctic snowmelt record occurred during austral summer 2008–2009 according to spaceborne microwave observations for 1980–2009. "

It looks to me like red light from the sunset hitting one side of the rock face.

Could be wrong but it looks like it...

lol i was gonna post the same thing, that looks too much like sunlight hitting the rocks, look at the red and you'll see its at the same angle on all the rocks that are red, and some rocks aren't red as they are lower than the higher rocks being lit up. debunked?

A reflection of the sun?

It could be iron like the other member stated.

Don't get me wrong, I believe there is much more than meets the eye down there.

Red rocks could be iron-rich rocks, bacteria, wonky sunlight angle.

The area is obviously thawing, as evidenced in the comparison pictures by the amount of currently visible rock. The cracks don't look too mysterious to me, either. The short logical answer probably is thawing + gravity = crevasse creation. Doesn't seem all that unfeasible to me.

Actually, now that I look at the red rocks again, I'm going with the sunlight & angle theory, too. I noticed that the snowscape has a pinkish tint to it as well. That's more than likely a nice hue on both rock & snow courtesy of Sol there.

good find OP, but I found something weird in google earth, I've put the cordinates of the site, and when I got ther the area is showing to be under water!

Do you have the correct longitudes & latitudes? I've ended up in the middle of oceans accidentally by having S instead of N or E instead of W.

Edit: I put in the coordinates in Google Maps, and did end up in the ocean as you did. The error was 69*S 38*W. You want these: 69.623796 S, 38.26857 E
