From all the places that are heavily affected by the dangers of climate change, Antarctica is most especially vulnerable. However, as scientists continue on with their research, they came across an island that has never been discovered before close to the South pole.
Express reports that back in February researchers came across what is now known as Sif Island in West Antarctica following the thawing of the Pine Island glacier around it. But despite the researchers having come across this place nearly two months ago, NASA has actually been keeping an eye on the then-uncharted island for many years now since 2014. The agency was watching the gradual formation of the island over that time through the Landsat satellite of the USGS.
“Antarctica has been the source for a host of fascinating satellite images over the last few months. We’ve offered scenes from the southern solstice, images of icebergs adrift, and shots of pooling meltwater during some of the warmest days on record. But an international team of scientists on board a US research vessel recently made another discovery related to polar warming trends - an uncharted island,” said the USGS in their Youtube video relating to their discovery.
The USGS added that the island was slowly surfacing from “a stretch of coast between the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers in West Antarctica” and by 2014, it fully detached itself. The island’s granite outpost expands less than 400 kilometers in diameter. Until today, Sif Island named after the Norse goddess, is still mostly covered in ice but researchers who discovered this have already noticed seals making it their home. Scientists will then conduct further studies to learn more about the island and its formation.
In other news, Egyptologist Chris Naunton claimed that there are still tombs that have yet to be discovered near the famous Step Pyramid, with a high chance that one of them would belong to its architect, Imhotep. Naunton told Express that he has an idea of where the long-lost tomb may be located.
“So the tomb I’m dealing with is Imhotep, who is a guy that we believe to be the inventor of pyramids - the architect who designed the first pyramid. There is a strong possibility that his tomb is at Saqqara, in the northern part of the cemetery - close to the pyramid he built in an area we know hasn’t been excavated.”
