What is the most mysterious location on Earth?
Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.
This is why we find it so captivating. Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's find out how this mysterious destination became so famous.
Antarctica: The South Pole
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Some believe it is "land of the ice". Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis in ancient Greece was the name given the island where Zeus' twin brother brothers were born. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe the name was derived from the Greek words tropos, which means turn, and anti, meaning against. 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 coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. It is too cold for trees, plants and animals.
And yet, this frozen wasteland is teeming with life.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover 80% of the continent. And they're growing larger every year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. This could lead to widespread flooding.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood flows through the heart 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These vessels carry blood away to the heart via the large blood vessels. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. 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.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Ever wonder how much trash gets produced each day around the world?
According to the United Nations there are more than 25 billion tons of garbage produced each year.
The majority of this garbage ends up in incinerators or landfills. But what happens when the dumpsters become full? The majority of this rubbish is sent out of the country. The trash is then sent out of the country and dumped in countries where it pollutes ecosystems. But, one man has now discovered exactly where this rubbish goes. His name is Mike Sexton. He is the owner of Waste Watchers. His job involves monitoring the movements and routes of trash trucks across North America. He then reports back to us on what happens next.
Sexton claims he is very satisfied with his job. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton began following truck drivers almost 20 years ago.
"It's all I felt," he stated.
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. "The guy was looking for someplace to put his load," Sexton recalled. "He drove down the road and saw this building. So he pulled over and went inside. "There were 2 large containers that had been rolled off, and they were full of stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. He then looked around and decided to load everything. There were tires, rags. furniture, mattresses. boxes, bottles, cans. "It was a complete mess. But it was cleaned out before he came. There was no trash."
Why did this happen? Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. Sexton explained, "They would bring their household goods and take them here," and they would then empty the containers.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. It could happen hundreds of thousands of times a week. The truck eventually stops running because it has become so jammed with junk. The owner finally decides to stop using the truck.
However, trash is not the only problem on our planet.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Some of these plastics end up in rivers or oceans.
Experts warn us that we may soon face an international food shortage if things don't change. Experts warn that if we continue to go the same way, we won't make it. However, scientists and most people aren't worried.
