What's Under Antarctica's Ice Sheets?
Vložit

- Many of us know Antarctica as a land of ice and not much else. But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a landmass that was last exposed 40 million years ago.
What does this land look like, and what could we expect to find if we are still around to see what's under Antarctica's ice sheets.
I forgot to mention that under the Antarctic treaty, mining is TECHNICALLY prohibited on Antarctic, but that expires in around 30 years, and it's uncertain whether or not it will be renewed. Plus this is all theoretical anyway and would take place over many hundreds of years, if not thousands.

I have traveled to Antarctica. I found it to be the most enthralling place I have ever been and I have traveled a lot. There are no words for the beauty and power of this place. By far the most inspiring place I have seen.
I would love to go there in the future. It’s just so interesting and the mystery behind it makes it just more intriguing. It’s such a beautiful landmass and it’s on my bucket list to see it with my own eyes. I have never been a large fan of the cold but that won’t stop me haha
@@ravantstudios3113 Don't worry, you can only travel during the Antarctic summer! I really didn't find it to be excessively cold, but it changes from minute to minute.

Living in Canada, I was encouraged by how many times he said "similar to Canada" until it was pointed out that it was basically going to be post-glacial bedrock dotted with lakes. So all the blackflies and barren rock of Canadian Shield areas, without the charming boreal forest. The only hope left in that pitch is that penguins are delicious and fun to either hunt or farm.
i know it was a joke, but the thought of hunting or eating a penguin is horrendous to me. I'd much rather go full mad max and eat a human first.

In pikmin 3, since the game takes place millions and millions of years into the future, Antarctica has continentally drifted and fused with Australia over time turning it from a frozen wasteland into a tropical jungle. It’s pretty cool, so that’s what I like to imagine it’d be like.
Just rewatched this and wondered if your description of what Antarctica would be like if all the ice melted took into account the rise in sea level with all that ice melting? Just curious.

This one is fucking closed minded sino-centrist or west-blamer.
If you are going to make assumptions regarding the melting of the ice sheet it should be stated over what time period. It's fine to mention the catastrophic effect of a rapid melting, but it should be noted that if the event is spread over millennia (as is more likely) ecosystems (and man) will have time to adapt...as has happened when this event has occurred in the past.
This, so much. Overall, the end effects would be far less catastrophic than the climate change Chicken Littles would have you believe. Mankind and the rest of the world's life will adapt, and life will go on. The elites aren't worried about the environmental or ecological impact; they're worried that they're about to lose a lot of prime coastal real estate, nothing more.

Hey, for the shape of Antarctica without ice, did you consider the 60m rise of sea level or is it at current sea level ?
@PGH Engineer I understand the isostatic rebound will make the land higher, but the water level would also rise. If lets say the isostatic rebound makes the land rise by 200m and the water level raises by 60m, So net water line on the land raises 140m.
This 60m difference between isostatic and isostatic + water level makes for a different coastline profile. Take as an exemple the models of the current worldwide coastlines vs coastlines with a 60m water level increase. Some places change drastically, for example Floride pretty much completely disappears from the map. This is why I'm wondering if it was considered, the coastline and therefore outside shape will be different.

I'm glad you mentioned that the continent would rise after removing the weight of up to 4 kilometres of ice thickness. Did your predicted dry land account for the rise in sea level? Don't worry about the penguins, they will have died out long before the ice finishes melting.
Penguins have the ability to survive in almost any climate on earth
over 1000s of years the land would rise up a bit. i.e. not fast enough to offset the water rising.

The paleontology of Antarctica is key in understanding the evolution of life in Australia and South America.

If you want to know how Antartica was before being an Ice Desert, you should look up to Argentina and Chilean forest of Patagonia (Valdivean forest to be precise) which is an unique part of the world because it got a micro clima which mabtains the old vegetation and trees.
If an ice cube melts in water, the water level goes down. If you put a water bottle in the freezer and freeze it, the ice will be to the lid and sometimes blow through. So why would melting ice on a bigger scale cause rising levels? It doesn't

I think they'd just nuke it.
I just hope that if people poke around under the ice they don't release some ancient viruses or bacterial spores that nothing living currently has any immunity against. A change in the ocean conveyor would change climates. I like that people can now grow coral in aquariums so the ocean could be re-seeded. One other question is haw much dormant volcanic activity would be released if the weight of the ice cap were removed. Being on the South Pole, it would still likely have immense water and wind currents constantly surrounding it.

I saw a video of a newly discovered ecosystem that's separated from the ocean but abundant with life in the water under the ice. The oxygen levels are extremely high in these waters creating extra large forms of isopods and crabs, starfish. I'm hoping more exploration footage comes out of this unique ecosystem that is in this otherwise plain area. Oh and besides penguins don't forget leopard seals that hunt the penguins. They are fierce predators

The polar icecaps ironically radiate heat into space. As water freezes it gives up heat. The poles are, in some sense, air conditioners.
