The floating ice shelf of world’s widest glacier – Thwaites glacier in Antarctica – is detaching, with worrying implications for global sea-level rise.

Can global warming spell doom for in Antarctica? Some say that the climate was established by God at the end pf the global flood in Noah's time but others are  more sceptical. They say that men can destroy the planet.

Antarctica’s most threatened glacier is about be further destabilised, as the floating ice shelf in front of Thwaites glacier is set to break away.

“Its final demise could happen suddenly, and to avoid being caught on the hop, we have already prepared an ‘obituary’ press release,” says Rob Larter at the British Antarctic Survey.

Dubbed the “doomsday glacier”, Thwaites is about the size of Britain, but it is shrinking rapidly and is already responsible for 4 per cent of all global sea-level rise. Worse still, its collapse is expected to set off a domino effect in the entire West Antarctic ice sheet, ultimately resulting in a calamitous sea-level rise of 3.3 metres and changing the coastline of the entire planet.

Hot methane seeps could support life beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet

Could life appear in the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter, for instance. This is what some evolutionists are claiming.  

But life does not appear by accident. It has to be made by a person who knows how to start it, as evolutionary processes cannot do it.  

“Microbes living beneath Antarctica´s ice sheet may survive on methane generated by geothermal heat rising from deep below Earth’s surface. The discovery could have implications for assessing the potential for life to survive on icy worlds beyond Earth.

“These could be hotspots for microbes that are adapted to live in these areas,” says Gavin Piccione at Brown University in Rhode Island.”

Ice Age rivers found in Antarctica

"There was this gigantic river system": Researchers find ancient lost world deep beneath Antarctic ice.

A research icebreaker Polarstern in front of a giant iceberg in the Amundsen Sea. Researchers on this vessel have discovered evidence of a giant river that once ran across West Antarctica. 

Noah’s Flood is gaining some traction . from in Antarctica,   

“Geologists digging into the massive ice sheet of West Antarctica have discovered the remains thisof an ancient river system that once flowed for nearly a thousand miles.” but some years ago it was not.

According to evolutionists, this is connected to climate change

“Between 34 million to 44 million years ago, an epoch known as the middle-to-late Eocene, Earth's atmosphere transformed drastically. As carbon dioxide levels plummeted, global cooling formation of glaciers on an ice-free Earth.” 

This has problems, since ‘ most of West today is covered in ice ‘.  but some years ago, it wasn’t,

Evolutionist think that climate change will bring tsunamis

Accordng to evolution, climate change could unleash gigantic tsunamis mostly by triggering massive landslides in the Antartica. 

Previous studies have shown that during previous periods of global warming, that is t3 to 15 million years ago, — loose sediment layers formed and slipped to send massive tsunami waves racing to the shores of South America, New Zealand and Southeast Asia during jhe mid-Pliocene warm period.

This time, the effeck would be much as large, the scientist warmed,

Largest ever fish colony found under the Antarctic ice

Researchers have found a large fish colony in the Weddell Sea near Antarctica. It covers 240 square kilometres.

It is a largest colony of fish in the world.

”Autun Purser at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany and his colleagues discovered the breeding ground by chance when they went on a six-week expedition to the polar region in February 2021.”

“It looked computer generated how structured these nests were,” says Purser. Each nest had one adult fish and about 1500 to 2000 eggs. “We don’t know how long they take before they hatch or even how many will survive,” he says.

Yes, Antarctica was believed to be destitute of all animals except for penguins on some shores, but when God has put animals iin extraordinary places, we cannot but bow down in amazement.

Wildfires burned Antarctica 75 million years ago

Evolutionists believe that some75 millions years agoa75 millions uears ago, Antarctica had fires, they believe that this took place when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth . 

According to a new study, published online Occtober  20 in the journal Polar Research finds. that Antarctica's James Ross Island was home to a temperate forest of conifers, ferns and flowering plants known as angiosperms, as well as to a slew of dinosaurs. But it wasn't a total paradise; ancient paleo-fires burned parts of those forests to a crisp, leaving behind charcoal remnants that scientists have now scooped up and studied.

They say that this happened during the late Cretaceous period (100 million to 66 million years ago), one of the warmest periods on Earth,

This study study brings to mind Noah’s Flood that ravaged the Earth 4,500 years ago. Before that, Antartica was probably  non existen. 

But they have found dinosaur bones in Canada as well as petrified forest in Antartica.

Microbes living in an  ice-covered lake in Antarctica are feasting on crushed rocks.  They are driving.

 According to evolutionists, this spells well for the search for life, This means extraterrestrial life that may be  . Underground lakes and frozen oceans are thought to be common in the universe, even in our own solar system.which was created by God

Exotic Animals Found In The Antarctica

The researchers were not trying to find live, but when they drilled a900 meters or  half-mile-long hole into an Antarctic ice shelf, they found something surprising: a rock covered with unknown animals on the seafloor below.

"This is shwing us that life is more resilient, and more robust, than we ever could have expected, if it can put up with these conditions," said Huw Griffiths, a marine biogeographer who, along with his colleagues, published a paper about the serendipitous discovery Feb. 15 in the journal  Frontiers in Marine Science. 

Some of the creatures had squat, round bodies, while others had thin stalks that stretched into the surrounding water; parts of the rock were also coated in a thin layer of fuzz, which could possibly contain tiny, threadlike organisms. 

Yes, this is the way God created the animals. but getting such animals on the icy moons of our solar system is not possible, cause they have to be have to be created..

How Antarctica Revealed Its Awesomeness In 2019

Antarctica is fertile ground for meteorite hunters, because the space rocks that land there accumulate in glaciers and tend to become concentrated. One of these meteorites turned up something incredible, scientists reported in April.

In spite of its pollen and frozen forests,, exotic animals, Antarctica has also some species that go far beyond time, at least in the Darwinian way.

One of its grains, just 0,10 centimetres or 1/25,000 of an inch long, is a speck of dust from a star explosion called a Nova. The dust speck is older than the sun and according to evolution holds clues to the composition of the early solar system.
