Why is this Antarctic Glacier “Bleeding?” | Antarctic Extremes

[@pbsterra]

CORRECTION: This video incorrectly states that Enceladus is a moon of Jupiter. It is a moon of Saturn.

[@broomemike1]

Awesome correction! It's so easy to get all of those moons mixed up without a strong mythology background:)

[@lerpmmo]

[@UpcycleElectronics]

Lettuce Enceladus :-)

[@YaMumsSpecialFriend]

PBS Terra it also incorrectly pronounces AnTartica. The first T isn’t optional. Asides from that, great work!👍🏻

I have research on this please contact me. I have new species at 8 min you see a new Hominid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4PYiYKuj9WUqK8

[@suokkos]

This gives me a feel like a good TV documentary. Too bad KZbin encourages shorter length videos. I feel this topic would have deserved a deeper look into details like how they measured water under ice using a flying probe etc.

[@vintagethrifter2114]

They literally said that it was called Skytem and that it uses electromagnetic waves. You can actually Google "SkyTem Antarctica" and find their own videos and report on this mission.

[@suokkos]

@@vintagethrifter2114 , Thanks. It was just a concrete example how ten minutes isn't enough for a good document. It felt like a good 45 to 60 minute document but details cut out. Just my feed back because they were asking for viewer feedback.

My father's first cousin was one of the geologists who discovered Blood Falls, Thomas Erik Berg. He was killed in a helicopter crash in Antarctica in November, 1969. There's a mountain peak named after him, Berg Peak, as well as the Berg Field Center building at McMurdo Station.

I really hope to see a longer coverage on this because it is so facinating, so unique that it needs more coverage to go into all the levels of complexity and research projects occuring in that special region. I love the tests that they are conducting and it really does open up the bridge towards understanding what certain not earth conditions might be like or relatively close to, in ways that we never have seen or understood before. Plus we get to learn about a region of our planet we hardly know nothing about in depth and detail. It's so cool to see Antarctica in more than this vast thick ice sheet. There is so much more going on there, especially in the water ecosystems. I'd watch science about it everyday. Seriously. I love it!

[@faridjafari6356]

In other documentaries about Antarctica we always see that the scientific station buildings have to adjust their elevations because of the changes of the thickness of the Ice they are located on. As mentioned here in this video there are parts of Antarctica which are not covered with ice and snow, so why don't we take all the scientific stations to these areas and settle them directly on earth and make them permanent? Even by digging caves and bunkers into the rocks of the mountains around, stations can be embedded into the mountains and beneath earth so with least heat exchange there will be least energy needed to warm these stations plus least environmental impact on Antarctica.

A massive amount of long passed creatures or one Big Ctesture, that have petrified or turned into mud fossils and are finally giving up the Iron from Their Blood..Seriously Or it could be water very rich in iron, like my neighbors well. Personally, I like my first suggestion. That is always amazing to find. A huge mud fossil of a long passed ancient creature or man that looks perfectly preserved in mud fossil, shape yet still retains the iron, breaking down from the blood.

Lake Bonney has a chemocline below it the water is 300 times saltier than sea water. There is a lens of fresh water and ice on top of the lake. There is also a mineral at the bottom called dihydrohalite… which is an ice crystal with sodium chloride. We found it at the bottom of the lake in 1973 and 1974

[@highfive7689]

Could there be blind cave-like fish in those buried lakes, even a small ecosystem in what can be described as ancient ocean under the ice.? Many fish about poles have evolved protections against the intense cold. There could be ancient life waiting to be discovered in there.

I am confused. Why is there no condensation from the breath in this video? -5.2 Celsius here in northern Sweden will produce a quite noticeable cloud from the mouth, here it looks more like 10 degrees above freezing point?

[@maxgucciardi4507]

-5 C° is just the temp of the water coming out of the glacier, research in Antarctica is only done in the summer where temps can reach as high as 70 F° (idk what that is in C°) because the winters are deadly.

When did blood falls start flowing? Is it recently like last century, decade?..

[@caitlinsaks4910]

That's a great question! The first explorer to discover it was one of the earliest Antarctic explorers -- Thomas Griffith Taylor -- in 1911. He was part of Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition. So, it's been flowing since then. Not continuously... as the episode and time-lapse images show the pattern of when it flows isn't regular. And we've only recently got cameras on it, so who knows what was happening in the years (and possibly whole decades) since 1911 when no one was there to observe it. BEFORE 1911, it gets even harder to say, because there are no observations.
