That’s why Google covered it with a screen, and in the old version (more transparent) it was clear that there was no ice in the center. The Moon, which I saw around May 18, was in a hurry to the South. And among all the fables there is one that claims that at the South Pole there is an entrance to the center of the Earth, as well as a masking fable about a Nazi base.
In February, Argentina experienced its worst drought in 50 years. The drought killed 300 thousand heads of cattle. Farmer losses amounted to at least $600 million in the province of Santa Fe alone (this province lies between 28° and 34°).
At the end of February, severe fires began in southern Australia (30°-40°). It burned throughout March, but we managed to cope with the disaster, although there were isolated outbreaks back in April.
Meanwhile: fires in Mexico in March; fires in the southern USA since the beginning of April (in the south of California - since the beginning of May); the worst drought in 80 years in Brazil in April; severe drought in India since mid-April (hundreds of people die from the heat).
What about our Antarctica?
In January 2009, a high-ranking official visited Antarctica Russian delegation(carried out acceptance of new suns?). The TV footage showed a very bright, high-standing Sun.
From the forum:
Others build all sorts of conspiracy theories, refer to trips of the establishment and political elite to Antarctica... (Hee hee).
The dynamics of the progress of the heat since February are in good agreement with the act of acceptance at the end of January - the thermal suns came out to the places of deployment (by the way, in 2010 no such cataclysms occurred: all the suns have long been in their places).
Meanwhile, in Antarctica, the ice bridge connecting the Wilkins Ice Shelf (opposite South America) with the mainland, and at the end of April it began to collapse. At the same time, in May, information was announced that there were no signs of warming in Antarctica (the luminaries had left and the weather had returned to normal).
A new winter is approaching. In Transbaikalia, in the first week of September, 20 cm of snow fell and record cold came. What about the suns?
And they go to a base in Antarctica (for maintenance and recharging?). This combination of temperature maps has already come across several times:
On August 14, a thermal spot suddenly appears in Antarctica (above the scale maximum of 10°), and on the 15th, a new thermal sun flares up in the middle of South America, which disappears after a couple of days, leaving only a stationary sun in the north of South America. This corresponds to leaving after recharging, but there are also reverse pictures (with arrival), unfortunately, not so clear, since maps of Antarctica are often either not updated at all, or are given with large white gaps. It is difficult to collect statistics to trace the correlation (maps are not saved, and there is no way to sit and monitor around the clock).
And finally, the question arises: “How are the suns recharged?”
From the forum:
A civil aviation pilot I know said that at altitudes above 9,000 km there is increased X-ray radiation. If earlier, when they flew to the USA and back to Russia via the North Pole in violation of all civil transportation standards and received 5 BER doses in one flight, now the same picture is in the lower latitudes. This suggests that the “fire” of space has approached the surface of the Earth. Many types of ailments: rapid fatigue, sudden rise and fall in temperature, wandering pains in the skeleton, hepatic discharge to the surface of the skin, headaches and unexpected increase in blood pressure, etc. and so on.
Key word spoken: radiation!
The suns run on the same nuclear fuel that was exported from Russia (by the way, Ukraine transfers its uranium reserve to us for storage). That's why chemtrails are needed: they really protect the earth from radiation! Hiding the luminaries and hiding cosmic information is just a by-product. That’s why birds don’t fly to the South (usually they are seen flying in cloudy weather), and after the radioactive fog they die out en masse (like bees, frogs, and plankton). That’s why I feel so bad after walking down the street, and for some reason I don’t want to take a shower. That is why the Penza prisoners hid underground, hoping to escape.
08.10.2009:
As explained to “MK” in Rospotrebnadzor, in Lately Complaints of poisoning by pine nuts have become more frequent. Moreover, in various parts of the country - from Moscow to Tyumen. In this case, all victims exhibit the same symptoms: a pronounced and persistent bitterness in the mouth that does not stop for several days, as well as general weakness and mild nausea.
But throughout the second half of summer the suns stuck out in Siberia!
There is another aspect that can be tied to the suns.
Interesting Google image (border between Norway and Sweden):
It’s clear what the white circle in the center of Antarctica hides.
But what could this square be hiding?
Here is a lower resolution image (from another program):
What are these red spots?
Similar ones were found in other places, also closed.
But in remote Siberia they were too lazy to close:
Therefore, desert areas are chosen. That's why it was so hot in the summer in Siberia.
In development of the version: satellite images.
Fires in northern Australia (the Indonesian sun only hits the north);
smoke from fires is visible.
But the fires in Siberia - smoke from the fires is not visible in the upper part of the image, but in the lower part it is not very clear whether it is smoke or clouds.
Maybe it's not fires?
And in Australia there is no smoke from single spots.
Pink snow fell in the Stavropol Territory, yellow snow fell in Crimea. The next day they said: it’s okay, it’s just that sand was brought in from Africa, this already happened in 2008 and 2009.
P.S. When the material had already appeared on the Internet, my old friend told me about two funny incidents from her life. She twice met pilots who carried out regular flights to Antarctica. Distinguished by extreme curiosity, she, almost already in bed, began to pester them with questions. There was only one scenario: with their tails fluffed up, they talked about the flight, about the countries under their wing, but as soon as the story reached the details of their arrival in Antarctica, their eyes glazed over, they apologized for being forced to leave urgently, got dressed and disappeared forever.
These amazing photographs of Antarctica were taken by survey aircraft as part of the Antarctic ice sheet mapping and monitoring project Operation IceBridge.
The Operation IceBridge project has been carried out by NASA since 2009. Thanks to it, you can see pictures of Antarctica from the heights of a DC-8 geodetic aircraft.

Antarctica is located in the very south of the Earth; the center of Antarctica approximately coincides with the southern geographic pole. Antarctica is washed by the waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, sometimes unofficially classified as a separate Southern Ocean. (Photo by Mario Tama):
In addition to the pole of cold, Antarctica has the lowest relative humidity, the strongest and longest winds, and the most intense solar radiation. (Photo by Mario Tama):
Antarctica is the most high continent Earth. The average height of the continent's surface above sea level is more than 2000 m, and in the center of the continent it reaches 4000 meters. Most of this height is made up of permanent ice sheet. (Photo by Mario Tama):
Satellite photo of Antarctica.
Most of this height is made up of a permanent ice cover of the continent, under which the continental relief is hidden and only 0.3% (about 40 thousand sq. km) of its area is free from ice - mainly in West Antarctica and the Transantarctic Mountains. (Photo by Mario Tama):
Mountains rise off the coast of West Antarctica. The western part consists of a group of mountainous islands connected by ice. On the Pacific coast are the Antarctic Andes, whose altitude exceeds 4000 m; the most high point continent - 4892 m. (Photo by Mario Tama):
The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest on our planet and is approximately 10 times larger in area than the nearest largest, the Greenland Ice Sheet. It contains ~30 million cubic km of ice, that is, 90% of all land ice. (Photo by Mario Tama):
The ice sheet in Antarctica contains about 80% of all fresh water on the planet; if it melted completely, sea levels would rise by almost 60 meters (for comparison, if the Greenland ice sheet were to melt, sea levels would rise by only 8 meters). (Photo by Mario Tama):

The average thickness of the ice layer in Antarctica is 2500-2800 m, reaching a maximum value in some areas of East Antarctica - 4800 m. (Photo by Mario Tama).
Based on images from space, scientists have compiled detailed map sixth continent. And they discovered unusual objects on it
Last week, experts from the National American Space Agency and the British Antarctic Society announced the creation of the most detailed three-dimensional map of the icy continent. For three years, from 1999 to 2001, the Landsat-7 space satellite captured 1,100 images of Antarctica from all possible angles. Plus several tens of thousands of aerial photography frames. Scientists spent another six years studying the images and putting this mosaic together. True, a complete map of the continent still did not work out. Due to the peculiarities of the orbits of the Earth's satellites, it was not possible to photograph the very “top” of our planet - the region of the South Pole. But this does not bother scientists: although the first space photographs of this continent appeared back in 1972, and the first map in 1998, the current one turned out to be 10 times clearer than all previously existing images of the white continent. For example, you can see objects measuring 15x15 meters. That is, half a basketball court. In addition, all photographs are given in real color, and you can use the map to
to see what Antarctica really looks like from space.
According to project leader Robert Bienshadler of NASA's Hydrosphere and Biosphere Laboratory, if scientists around the world "used to study the ice continent on a black-and-white TV, now they were provided with the most sophisticated color TV."
The map will also help to assess how, and indeed whether, global warming is affecting Antarctica. Now the situation is ambiguous. Satellite images show that, on the one hand, in the Ross Sea area, coastal glaciers are rapidly melting and sliding into the sea, but in other areas the area of ice fields is increasing.
There are no more “white” spots left on the white continent. However, while experts were working on drawing up the map, they saw a lot of unexpected things. And they racked their brains to explain what they saw.
Anomalous airfield
“This simply cannot happen!” Legend has it that this is exactly what one graduate student exclaimed when he was assigned to analyze images sent from orbit by the Landsat-7 probe. Someone is giving a sign of distress and has laid out a giant cross in Antarctica.
Everything turned out to be much simpler. "X" - two runways of the American polar station McMurdo.
By the way, to the left of the point of their intersection you can see the dome of the station.
Noah frozen in the ice?
And this photo was liked by lovers of everything anomalous. The picture is unusually similar to the remains Noah's Ark, which is said to have been petrified on the slope of Ararat (see photo below). In fact, this region of the Dry Valleys is the only place in Antarctica that is free of snow.

How icy rivers flow
Similar photographs can often be seen among archaeologists.
Using aerial photography, they determine the contours of ancient cities covered with sand or earth.
And scientists discovered something similar in Antarctica. Alas, these are not ruins left by a mysterious civilization. And the “river” is an ice stream that moves at a speed of several hundred meters per year. And if there are any obstacles at the bottom of the river or two rivers collide, then whirlpools begin, as in this photo.
BY THE WAY
Currently, there are 50 polar research stations from 20 countries operating in Antarctica. Russia contains 6 permanent stations and two seasonal ones. This year, plans are underway for the next, 53rd Russian Antarctic Expedition, to re-open two more of our stations, closed in the late 80s of the last century.
On January 28, 1820, a Russian expedition led by Thaddeus Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev discovered Antarctica, the existence of which had previously only been speculated. Today we have collected for you interesting and little-known facts about the most remote southern continent - the highest, driest, windiest, sparsely populated and coldest place on earth.
At one time, it was impossible to work in Antarctica for those who had not had their wisdom teeth and appendix removed. Due to the fact that surgical operations were not performed at Antarctic stations, to work here it was necessary to first part with these parts of the body, even if they were completely healthy.
Antarctica is the driest place on earth. More precisely, the dry McMurdo Valleys located here, some areas of which have not seen rain or snow for two million years.
Like many countries, Antarctica has its own Internet domain - .aq
53 million years ago, Antarctica was so warm that palm trees grew on its shores and the air temperature rose above 20 degrees Celsius.
In December 2013, Metallica gave a concert in Antarctica, thus becoming the first band in the world to perform on all continents. In order not to disturb the local fauna, the concert was held under a special protective dome, and the audience listened to the music through headphones.
From 1960 to 1972, McMurdo Station, the largest settlement and research center owned by the United States, operated the first nuclear power plant in Antarctica.
Antarctica has its own fire station. It belongs to the McMurdo station, and it employs real professional firefighters.
Despite the extreme conditions, 1,150 species of fungi have been discovered in Antarctica. They adapt well to extremely low temperatures and extended periods of freezing and thawing.
Technically, all 24 time zones are present in Antarctica, since their boundaries converge at one point at both poles.
There are no polar bears in Antarctica. To look at them, you will have to go to the North Pole or, for example, to Canada.
There is a bar in Antarctica - the southernmost bar on the planet. And it is located at the Akademik Vernadsky station, which belongs to Ukraine.
The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth - minus 89.2 degrees Celsius - was recorded in Antarctica at the Russian Vostok station on July 21, 1983.
Antarctica is the fifth largest continent in the world. Its territory is 14 million square meters. km.
99% of Antarctica is covered in ice. The continent's ice sheet is often called an ice sheet.
The average ice thickness of Antarctica is 1.6 km. Antarctica contains approximately 70% of the world's reserves fresh water on the ground.
The Transantarctic Mountains run across the entire continent and divide it into western and eastern parts. This ridge is one of the longest in the world - its length is 3500 km.
The existence of the continent of Antarctica was unknown until its discovery in 1820. Before this it was assumed that it was just a group of islands.
On December 14, 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first person to reach the South Pole and plant his nation's flag there. He also became the first person to visit both geographic poles of the planet.
As a result of secret negotiations, on December 1, 1959, 12 countries concluded the Antarctic Treaty, providing for the demilitarization of the Antarctic region and its use for exclusively peaceful purposes. Today, more than 50 countries are parties to the Treaty.
On January 7, 1978, Argentinean Emilio Marcos Palma was born - the first person in history to be born in Antarctica. It is believed that this event was a planned action by the Argentine government, which specifically sent a pregnant woman to the Esperanza station in order to subsequently claim rights to part of the territory of Antarctica.
Incredible facts about the world's largest desert
The overwhelming number of people, when answering the question about the world's largest desert, name the Sahara and turn out to be wrong. The correct answer is Antarctica - the fifth largest continent on our planet with an area of more than 14 million square kilometers and at the same time the least studied and mysterious of all seven continents. For many years, scientists have been wondering what is hidden under the ice of Antarctica and exploring the flora and fauna of the continent. 10 in our review little known facts about the southernmost and coldest desert on Earth.
No surgical operations are performed in Antarctica
Those who have not had their wisdom teeth and appendix removed are not allowed into Antarctica. This is due to the fact that surgical operations are not performed at stations in Antarctica, so before traveling to the icy continent, you need to remove your wisdom teeth and appendix, even if they are absolutely healthy.
