Texokie:

Thanks for reposting that and enlarging upon your thoughts, ROCKLOBSTER. That is really quite a different point of view. I’m glad you brought it forward.

Ghost Particles and Singing Ice: 11 Wild Antarctic Stories from 2018
By Mindy Weisberger December 31, 2018

[EXCERPTS]
“...High-energy particles are streaming from Antarctica’s ice, and scientists don’t know what they are. Particles shooting upward from the ground in Antarctica could be cosmic rays that traveled to Earth from space, blasted through the planet and came back out the other side. However, the known cosmic particles aren’t supposed to make it through the Earth without bumping into something and decaying. For that reason, scientists suspect that these particles were of a previously unknown type that defies the Standard Model (the prevailing description of how all particles behave)....”

“...You can’t hear it, but the ice that covers Antarctica “sings.” Researchers unexpectedly discovered the sound, which is not audible to human ears, while investigating other aspects of ice behavior using seismic sensors.

Recordings gathered by 34 sensors over two years revealed that when winds whipped over the surface of the ice, the topmost layer would vibrate almost constantly, producing a hum at a frequency of about 5 hertz. The researchers also found that certain conditions could affect the pitch of the hum, such as an unusual warming event that took place in January 2016 and seasonal storms that reshaped snow dunes....”

The article also speaks of the remains of former continents/ its history as part of the ancient continent Gondwana which geologists tell us was broken up to form the continents we know today. There are other interesting factoids presented here as well.
