FAQ
Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
This is why we find it so captivating. Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
You'll also find the strangest species of wildlife in this natural wonder.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others believe it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis is the name Antarktis was given to an island in ancient Greece by Zeus' twin brothers. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. This is why the word "antarctic" was chosen.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica holds a special fascination, people have always loved it.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. Because it is so cold, there aren't any trees, plants or animals.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
It houses approximately 90% of all Earth's living organisms. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is Antarctica? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover over 80%. They are growing in size every year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists suggest that global warming could actually be good for us. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. The heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
You can tell whether someone is healthy or unhealthy because of the color of their skin. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain is made up billions of nerve cell networks connected in groups known as neurons. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. An impulse travels along a synapse that connects the two neurons. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
What is the most secretive town in the world?
This question might surprise you. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It is called Novgorod (Russia).
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They just moved to another city.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland, actually!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I set out to find out.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? What makes a place disappear?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video examines the history and current status of these places.
