FAQ
Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is the world's most mysterious place on Earth.
What is it that makes this place so interesting? Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is remote and difficult to reach. There is much more to this place than meets the eyes.
Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica's name is a mystery. Some believe it means "land of ice." Others believe it derives from Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has always been a fascination for people.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. It is too cold for trees, plants and animals.
This frozen wasteland is still alive.
Here, 90 percent live of all species of living things. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
What is Antarctica? Here, water freezes into ice instead of evaporating into the air.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. They continue to grow in size each year.
Since 1960, the Antarctic ice sheets has grown 60ft.
If the melting continues, the sea level will rise by up to 200 feet. This could lead worldwide flooding.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists claim that global warming could be good for us. They claim that the melting of ice sheets could accelerate as temperatures rise. This would lead to flooding that removes tons of toxic chemicals and soil from our bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. We don't know the names. This is why it matters.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will lose money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. They could go bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. That's bad for everyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.

What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away 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.
The question is, where did this place go? It's actually in Switzerland!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What causes a town to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory holds that a town disappears if all its buildings are demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
