What's Under Antarctica's Ice Sheets?

  • 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.

    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.

    A quick math check.
    14.000.000 km2 x 1.6 km thick ice is 22.400.000 km3 of ice
    Converted to water that yields 20.608.000 km3 of water
    Spread over a total area of 361.000.000 km2 of ocean water, that gives an increase in sea level of 57 metres. So, well done on the math! I still don't know where the 26.500.000 km3 at 1:14 comes from...

      For those confused, flat earthers think the earth is a disk with the north pole at the center, and the antarctic isn't a continent but a giant ring of ice. Depending on what "theory" they believe in either the wall is holding in the oceans or hide other lands on the other side.

    essentially if water covered more of the earth - which would happen in this case - the sun would be able to cause more evaporation, thus causing stronger more violent rain storms/ Hurricanes. However, because Antarctica is still at the pole it would probably still refreeze over time, but much smaller.

    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.

Ever heard how CIA plotted against democratically elected minister Mossadegh in Iran (Ee-raan, not eye-ran) and set up a puppet government just because Mossadegh had the ’’nerve’’ of suggesting that Iranian oil should be nationalized? You probably haven’t because you are never taught this in the west. Your education system teaches you how you are superior to everyone else.

    Hey, for the shape of Antarctica without ice, did you consider the 60m rise of sea level or is it at current sea level ?

    • @philb8437
      @philb8437 2 года назад

      @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 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
