Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
What is it that makes this place so interesting? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is isolated, remote, and very hard to visit. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.
This natural wonder is also home to some of the strangest wildlife species.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica, The South Pole
It is not known why Antarctica was called Antarctica. Some say it means "land on ice." Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis is the name Antarktis was given to an island in ancient Greece by Zeus' twin brothers. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
No matter the reason, Antarctica is a place that has always fascinated people.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. It is too cold to support trees, plants, and animals.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is the secret to Antarctica's unique environment? Here, water freezes into ice instead of evaporating into the air.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. These glaciers are getting larger each year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. This could lead to widespread flooding.
This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. 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 secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It could even make you uncomfortable, because it challenges how reality is perceived and lived. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Some believe that it was taken by aliens.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town 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 is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How does one place go extinct?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
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.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
You can see why they are so vital.

The most famous organization in American history is the Ku Klux Klan. This group was established in 1865, after the Civil War had ended. It was created to protect white men against African Americans.
The Knights Templar and Freemasons were also created during this time. They all had similar goals and beliefs.
Another interesting aspect of secret society membership is that it was not only for males. However, these groups had some female members. These women were Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger as well as Susan B Anthony.
