Out of Nowhere! 8,000 Blue Lakes Appear in Antarctica Scientists Worried Stability of Largest Ice Mass on Earth Is Threatened (Video)
22 Aug 16
Scientists have discovered that thousands of blue lakes of melt water have formed on the surface of Antarctica’s glaciers over the past decade, an unprecedented event which threatens the stability of the largest ice mass on Earth.
Researchers from the Durham University in the UK analyzed hundreds of satellite images and meteorological observations of Langhovde Glacier, on the coast of East Antarctica’s Dronning Maud Land. The study revealed that between 2000 and 2013, about 8,000 new blue lakes have appeared in Antarctica.
The scientists suspect that the water of some lakes could seep under the glacier’s surface, potentially weakening it and making it more likely to fracture and break apart.
Previously it was thought that East Antarctica’s ice hadn’t been affected by global warming; therefore, more attention has been paid to the changes taking place in the Antarctic Peninsula. It is known that the occurrence of such lakes has led to melting of glaciers in Greenland, where 1 trillion metric tons of ice have melted between 2011 and 2014.
In the summer, as air temperatures warm, lakes form on top of the ice sheet and on some glaciers that extend outwards into deep ocean fjords. These lakes can then suddenly disappear all at once, or flow into rivers that drain into the ice below, lubricating the ice and helping increase the rate at which glaciers lurch forward. Sometimes, researchers have even been able to document fresh water flowing outward directly into the sea from the base of a glacier. That injection of cold fresh water into salty water can then create tornado-like underwater flow patterns at the submerged glacier front that cause further ice loss.
“It’s not hitting the glacier really hard at the moment, this process, but of course, as things warm up, we’d expect it to start doing more damage, like we see in Greenland,” said Stewart Jamieson, a glaciologist at Durham University and one of the study’s authors.
The results of the new study were published in Geophysical Research Letters. SOURCE
ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED?
IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!
The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?
God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.
You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.
Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins. Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.

Jacko that’s the thing about science. It isn’t a brand name. It’s a process. Some science is done right, and some science is wrong, for one reason or another.
1. Langhovde Glacier is on the coast of East Antarctica.
2. A study of this glacier, years 2000 – 2012, showed “These results indicate that the Langhovde
Glacier was in a relatively stable condition during the study period.”

3. East Antarctica is gaining ice mass. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses
4. The average temperature on the coast of Antarctica is minus 10 C, with a range of minus 40 C to plus 10 C.
Inland temperatures range from minus 30 C to minus 80 C. http://www.antarctica.gov.au/about-antarctica/environment/weather
5. The word “lake” suggests something that lasts a while, not a pool of summer melt water. And the figure of 8,000 new ones suggests something that lasts a while.
But these do not last from one season to the next. And it took 13 years to count 8,000.
Er, well, best not to mention the 2 research vessels, arctic and antarctic that both got stuck in record ice, when there was supposed to be none .
Man made global warming is a LIE………………..period.
