  • Island at the end of the world: Antarctic outpost faces uncertain times

    Island at the end of the world: Antarctic outpost faces uncertain times
    The climate crisis, geopolitical upheaval, a burgeoning tourism and an ever-extending list of interests and actors are straining relations on King George Island.

    Escudero base sits at the head of a wide pebble beach streaked with penguin excrement, giving it an acrid, fishy smell that cuts through the biting wind. Offshore, queues of tourist cruise liners stalk the busy harbour.

    For generations, Antarctica's alluring fragility, silence and wildness have drawn explorers, scientists and opportunists to the far south of the globe.

    But as 2023's summer season ends and daylight hours dwindle, the continent faces an uncertain future.

    The Antarctic treaty system (ATS), signed in 1959 and in force since 1961, defines everything below 60¡ south latitude as a place devoted to "peace and science". Fifty-six states are party to the treaty, 29 of which have voting rights on matters related to the continent. Seven nations claim portions of Antarctica, but the ATS freezes all current and future claims.

    But while the idealistic foundations of the treaty have held firm for more than six decades, the confluence of factors - from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to tourism, and from mineral exploitation potential to new marine protected areas - have resulted in tensions bubbling to the surface.

    NEWS - Die "Polarstern" ist zurück von ihrer Expedition in die Arktis
    Hand out file photo dated April 10, 2013 of German research vessel Polarstern during an expedition into the central Arctic Ocean. Researchers on the world's biggest mission to the North Pole returned to dock on Monday, October 12, 2020, bringing home devastating proof of a dying Arctic Ocean and warnings of ice-free summers in just decades. The German Alfred Wegener Institute's Polarstern ship returned to the port of Bremerhaven after 389 days spent drifting through the Arctic trapped in ice, allowing scientists to gather vital information on the effects of global warming in the region. The team of several hundred scientists from 20 countries have seen for themselves the dramatic effects of global warming on ice in the region, considered "the epicentre of climate change", according to mission leader Markus Rex. If the warming trend in the North Pole continues, then in a few decades we will have "an ice-free Arctic in the summer", Rex said. The researchers' observations have been backed up by US satellite images showing that in 2020, sea ice in the Arctic reached its second-lowest summer minimum on record, after 2012. The Polarstern mission, dubbed MOSAIC, spent over a year collecting data on the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice and ecosystems to help assess the impact of climate change on the region and the world.

    A mysterious fossil found in Antarctica that looked like a deflated football has finally been identified – as the egg of a gaint marine reptile.The fossil was discovered in 2011 by Chilean scientists but for nearly a decade, the specimen sat unlabeled and unstudied in the collections of Chile’s National Museum of Natural History.It was identified only by its sci-fi movie-inspired nickname -- “The Thing.” An analysis led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin in the USA has found that the fossil is a giant, soft-shell egg from about 66 million years ago. Measuring at around 30 cms by 18 cms, the egg is the largest soft-shell egg ever discovered and the second-largest egg of any known animal.The specimen is the first fossil egg found in Antarctica and pushes the limits of how big scientists thought soft-shell eggs could grow. Aside from its astounding size, the fossil is significant because scientists think it was laid by an extinct, giant marine reptile, such as a mosasaur — a discovery that challenges the prevailing thought that such creatures did not lay eggs.Lead study author Lucas Legendre, a postdoctoral researcher at the university’s Jackson School of Geosciences , said: “It is from an animal the size of a large dinosaur, but it is completely unlike a dinosaur egg “It is most similar to the eggs of lizards and snakes, but it is from a truly giant relative of these animals.”

    STORY COPY: What’s the best picture of Earth ever?

    That’s the question NASA’s Earth Observatory is asking in a visually arresting contest they have called Tournament Earth 2020.

    Since 1999, Earth Observatory has published over 16,000 images, so to celebrate their 20th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, they want the public to pick their all-time best image.

    Readers will narrow the field from 32 nominees down to one champion in a five-round knockout-style tournament. Pictures have been chosen under the categories: Past Winners, Home Planet, Land & Ice, and Sea & Sky. These will go head-to-head each week from March 23 to April 28, 2020, when a tournament winner will be announced.

    NASA Earth Observatory is an online publishing outlet for NASA which was created in 1999. It is the principal source of satellite imagery and other scientific information pertaining to the climate and the environment which are being provided by NASA for consumption by the general public.

    Ice caps and glaciers felt the heat as temperatures reached 18.3°C (64.9°F).

    On February 6, 2020, weather stations recorded the hottest temperature on record for Antarctica. Thermometers at the Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula reached 18.3°C (64.9°F)—around the same temperature as Los Angeles that day. The warm spell caused widespread melting on nearby glaciers.

    The Earth was an unstable environment for life leading up to the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs according to new evidence gleaned from fossil seashellsThe study measured the chemical make-up of fossilised clam and snail shells, dating back 66 million years to the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. And the findings could help studies into present day global warming.The researchers found that in the run-up to the extinction, the shells chemistry shifted in response to a surge of carbon in the oceans.This carbon influx was likely due to long-term eruptions from the Deccan Traps, a 200,000-square-mile / 518,000 Square kilometer volcanic province located in modern India. During the years leading up to the asteroid impact, the Deccan Traps spewed massive amounts of carbon dioxide , CO2, into the atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 acidified the oceans, directly affecting the organisms living there.The study by led by researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois, USA , is the first to study shells in this way to get a picture of life before the dinosaurs disappeared

    OPS:A fossilized snail shell, collected from the Lopez de Bertodano Formation, a well-preserved, fossil-rich area on the west side of Seymour Island in Antarctica, is prepared for analysis in the laboratory at Northwestern University.

    The Earth was an unstable environment for life leading up to the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs according to new evidence gleaned from fossil seashellsThe study measured the chemical make-up of fossilised clam and snail shells, dating back 66 million years to the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. And the findings could help studies into present day global warming.The researchers found that in the run-up to the extinction, the shells chemistry shifted in response to a surge of carbon in the oceans.This carbon influx was likely due to long-term eruptions from the Deccan Traps, a 200,000-square-mile / 518,000 Square kilometer volcanic province located in modern India. During the years leading up to the asteroid impact, the Deccan Traps spewed massive amounts of carbon dioxide , CO2, into the atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 acidified the oceans, directly affecting the organisms living there.The study by led by researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois, USA , is the first to study shells in this way to get a picture of life before the dinosaurs disappeared

    PICTURED: A group of playful penguins dive around a photographer in clear Antarctic water.

    Photographer Jonas Beyer, 29, was able to get close to the penguins as they jumped in and out of the cold water at Port Lockroy, an island off the Antarctic peninsula.

    The photographer from Denmark was taking pictures of guests on a cruise in the South Atlantic Ocean, but managed to slip away to photograph the group of gentoo penguins.
