Winter sea ice blankets the Weddell Sea around Antarctica in this satellite image from September 25, 2017. The blue curves represent the ice edge. The polynya is the dark region of open water within the ice pack. (MODIS-Aqua via NASA Worldview; sea ice contours from AMSR2 ASI via University of Bremen)

Astroblem?

Hot water plume over an incipient volcano?

Space aliens?

HAARP?

I wonder what the water temperature is? I ask because there might be a volcano under that area. Antarctica has a lot of volcanoes under the ice.

I’m not sure anyone should care about a hole opening and closing up as the decades go on. Maybe I missed the author’s point of why we should care.

The headline should have read:

Huge hole appears in Antarctic ice. Scientists are looking into it....

There was an Edgar Allen Poe novel like this.

"A mysterious hole larger than the Netherlands has opened in the middle of Antarctic ice"

Well, that does it!

We're doomed.

Hot water plume over an incipient volcano?

Most plausible explanation. People forget there are active volcanoes in Antarctica, for example Mount Erebus.

This particular polynya previously appeared for multiple seasons in the 1970s.

In the 1970s? That was when Time Magazine said we were heading into an Ice Age, right?
