There’s one unique place on our planet where there are no tourists, no traffic jams, and no high-rise buildings. This place is one of the hardest to reach, and it's almost impossible to survive there if you're unprepared. Right, it's Antarctica, the home of bizarre findings and even more mysterious phenomena. One of them is the deafening roar that's heard from the frozen terrain every night, accompanied by enigmatic icequakes. Something very strange happens in the coldest place on Earth, and this something makes the frozen valleys of Antarctica shake up to several hundred times a night! But while this experience might terrify even the most experienced observer, all the strangeness has a perfectly scientific explanation. Other videos you might like:

– The nightly ice quakes seem to relate to the recent climate changes; in particular, with melting polar ice caps. – Scientists think that the ice quakes that keep shaking glaciers are yet another example of how much stress our planet experiences because of the changing climate. – In 2014, scientists who were monitoring the Ross Ice Shelf in West Antarctica recorded a bloodcurdling acoustic oddity. – This spooky melody was just a reflection of how Antarctica's ice was changing under the influence of global warming. – The researchers noticed that the "ice tune" was different after storms blew through. – When the firn melts, it not only makes the ice shelf unstable, but also speeds up the streaming of ice into the ocean.
– However, ice quakes and mysterious tunes aren't the only puzzles scientists have managed to crack.
– In one of the images, researchers spotted a huge enigmatic hole piercing one of the seasonal ice packs, floating in the Lazarev Sea in Antarctica. – When it got warmer, the hole vanished without a trace, once again. – It turned out that such short-lasting gaps could be scars left by cyclonic storms! – The warmer the climate on Earth becomes, the more cyclones rage at the Earth's poles. And therefore, more and more climate-changing gaps appear in ice packs.
– By the way, a 25-year-long survey has also shown that nowadays, Antarctica's ice is disappearing at an alarming speed. During more than 2 decades, the continent has lost a whopping 3 trillion tons of ice! – In any case, not all the mysteries of Antarctica have been solved yet. For example, scientists still can't explain the origin of high-energy particles, literally streaming from the continent's ice!
