A Navy meteorologist lost his wallet in Antarctica and got it back 53 years laterThe BAS moved the Halley Research Station farther inland in 2016 as a precaution and staff have only worked there during the Antarctic summer since 2017 because evacuations would be difficult during the dark winter."This is a dynamic situation. Four years ago, we moved Halley Research Station inland to ensure that it would not be carried away when an iceberg eventually formed.

The earth is not constant...look at fault lines, rising lands in the ocean, volcanic expansion of Hawaii. Why should a piece of ice last forever?

Climate change is real...

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about marksust7 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Not until the water is knee deep everywhere in Florida to Texas will anyone act.

Wow! That has happened every year since the world has had satellites orbiting the world . But it never happened before we had satellites in orbit around the earth. So is it the satellites or is it the global climate change money scam. Sit around and get paid lots of money. Scam!
