A New Lava Lake in Antarctica That Confuse Scientists



What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Antarctica?" Glaciers, ice, frost, snow, uninhabitable desert – well, you get it. But how about a lake of bubbling lava hidden deep under the ice? An unlikely connection, right? But that's actually a very real and highly unusual Antarctic phenomenon that was just recently discovered. Until recently, people only knew about 7 such lakes bubbling in different regions of our planet. But here we go now: in July 2019, scientists discovered one more! It is resting in the crater of the active volcano. Even though it's not the largest lava lake in the world, it’s still very impressive, with a diameter varying from 300 to 700 feet! TIMESTAMPS:
How hot is this lake? 1:55
Why it was only recently discovered 2:32
What's so unusual about Mount Michael's lava lake? 3:48 Lava lake in the Democratic Republic of Congo 6:04
– Why you need to be extra cautious with it 6:26
– The catastrophe of 1977 6:53 Lava lake in the coldest place on Earth 7:49 Disappeared lava lakes 8:53 #volcanoes #antarctica #brightside SUMMARY:
– Already in the 1990s, scientists noticed some weird thermal anomalies occurring around the crater of the volcano. Unfortunately, at that time, the resolution of the photos was too bad to prove the existence of the lava lake. – Antarctica’s lava lake is resting in the crater of the active volcano, Mount Michael, located on small, remote Saunders Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. – One of the main reasons why the lava lake was only recently discovered is its remote location.
– Anyway, it would have taken scientists much longer to confirm their lava-lake suspicions but for the high-resolution satellite images. Before that, they only knew that a temperature anomaly on Saunders Island did exist. – The thing is that hundreds of volcanoes erupt by spitting out lava, which then gathers into small lakes and pools of molten rock. – Sulfur dioxide, steam, and carbon dioxide keep temperatures inside craters so high, that the lava constantly stays in its liquid state.
– Since 1882, the Mount Nyiragongo volcano has erupted a whopping 34 times! What's more, some of these eruptions, in the form of a bubbling lava lake, lasted for years.
– You'll need to be extra cautious with this treacherous volcano and the lava lake it contains. It emits extremely toxic carbon dioxide gas that seeps right up from the ground. – Mount Erebus is situated in the coldest place on Earth – and still hosts a lava lake with the habit of launching lava bombs (which are flying globs of molten rock).
– Interestingly, Mount Erebus follows its own pattern – the volume of its gas plumes falls and rises every 5 to 18 minutes.
– As for Kilauea in Hawaii, it's one of the world's most active volcanoes, and it used to host not just one, but two lava lakes! – Both of these lakes remained molten and active until they just… disappeared in 2018!

The Truth Behind the Lake Michigan Triangle



It’s not so hard to imagine something mysterious like ships and planes vanishing in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The ocean is big and full of wonders, after all. But what about, say, a lake? It’s not so absurd when we’re talking about one as huge as Lake Michigan. Yes, The Michigan Triangle is a thing, and it’s just as eerily inexplicable… The triangle is situated in the lower half of the lake. It’s 16 times smaller than the Bermuda Triangle, but strange events happen here no less frequently, especially if you keep in mind the difference in size. Some witnesses report seeing a strange glow under the surface, others swear they saw a UFO in the skies over the lake, and so many just feel uneasy being there. So, you ready to dive in? TIMESTAMPS:
Where the triangle is situated 0:33
The very first vanishing 1:28
Schooner that never returned 3:36
Ship without a crew 4:39
Mystery of Captain Donner’s vanishing 5:27
No plane, no wreckage 6:27 #bermudatriangle #mystery #brightside SUMMARY:
– The North American Great Lakes are all massive, and Lake Michigan itself is the 4th largest freshwater lake in the world.
– The triangle is situated in the lower half of the lake, with a corner at Manitowoc, Wisconsin and the other two at Ludington and Benton Harbor, Michigan.
– The first case goes way back to the 17th century, when the Great Lakes started to become a means of moving goods for trading. – In August of 1679, a French ship called Le Griffon was sailing across the unchartered waters of the Great Lakes. But when she made it to Lake Michigan, Le Griffon… just vanished. – The cause of Le Griffon’s disappearance never was fully established. Some evidence points at a sudden storm, while others believe it was rival traders that attacked and destroyed the vessel.
– The weirdest thing is that Le Griffon’s wreckage never was found.
– The next noticeable vanishing happened in 1891 to the Thomas Hume schooner.
– The schooner never did make it back to its home port. The search for the ship was initiated almost immediately, but with no results for almost 120 years. – There would also be the Rosa Belle. Also a lumber schooner, she set off on her final voyage from High Island to Benton Harbor in 1921. – She was found later drifting aimlessly on the waters of Lake Michigan after being capsized by some great force. – To add to the mystery, the ship’s crew was nowhere to be found and never heard from again…
– Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 2501 had taken off from New York and was headed for Seattle on June 23. – It would appear that Flight 2501 had encountered a storm cloud, the plane malfunctioned, and then fell into Lake Michigan. But even with all efforts to try and find the wreckage, there was no success. – Reportedly, two police officers saw a strange red light hovering above the lake on exactly the same day the plane disappeared.
– The anomaly of The Lake Michigan Triangle, if it exists and whatever it really is, remains a giant flaming question mark on the map of the United States. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

7 Reasons Why We Believe Everything on the Internet



What a world we live in now! We read articles, we find information, we check out facts, and we try to understand everything through a quick google search! Our minds go through trillions of processes at any given second; sometimes it’s even hard to keep up. Donny Miller said, “In the age of information, ignorance is a choice”, and that’s true when you know where to look for accurate information. It’s no secret that the internet is filled with misinformation, and passive reading or listening isn’t enough these days. So what should you do when it comes to accurate information? Well, there are some ways to figure it out. TIMESTAMPS:
Be on the lookout for cognitive bias 0:31
Listen to what they’re not telling you 2:37
The logical propaganda 4:08
It’s all about the sources 5:59
Don’t give in to the Pierre Salinger Syndrome 7:12
The captivating conspiracy theories 8:20
The illusory truth effect 9:14 #propaganda #manipulation #brightside SUMMARY:
– In an attempt to simplify the information we’re exposed to, we take mental shortcuts that lead us sometimes on the wrong path. – Most of the time, we’re attracted to information that fits our personal narrative. – When someone is physically attractive, and they give you positive non-verbal cues, like smiling or making eye contact, they can have more of an impact on you than the words they’re saying.
– You see, when we come across an attractive person, we subconsciously assume that they’re intelligent and capable.
– When someone tells you “according to a study”, you’re more likely to believe them, because it seems like it was truly researched. But sometimes even studies can be misinterpreted.
– When it comes to accurate information, you need to dig deep and cross-reference. So, when it comes to finding facts, use multiple sources for any piece of information that might seem dodgy.
– Journalist Pierre Salinger claimed that he’d obtained important information about the US government doing some questionable things with missiles. Of course, the rumour was disproven, but the hoaxes still remain online. – It’s more interesting to believe a lie, especially when it’s imprinted on your mind, than it is to believe the truth. The truth is sometimes boring, but a more interesting story behind an event with a logical explanation, is something that’ll grasp our attention for sure.
– Have you ever heard about the illusory truth effect? This term was coined back in 1977 and describes the tendency to believe information to be correct when we are repeatedly exposed to it. In other words, repeat a lie enough times, and people begin to accept it as truth. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

7 Sure Ways to Survive in Any Critical Situation



You might always not have an emergency kit with you, but there’s one thing you, me, and probably most other people on this planet will not leave the house without. That’s right, our phones! Yeah, you might be addicted to your phone, but it could end up saving your life in an emergency! You can call 911 in North America or 112 in Europe even if the phone is blocked, deactivated, or it has no sim card inside! But let’s go a little more extreme. Imagine your phone has run out of power. If you can’t use it as intended, then just take it apart! A smartphone is full of survival treasures: the screen, wires, battery, chips. All of them will make your life much easier if you’re alone in the wilderness with nothing but a dead phone in your hand. TIMESTAMPS:
Pocket-sized storage 2:05
A fire-starter 2:27
Reflecting an SOS signal 3:07
Navigation 4:13
A weapon or sharp tool 5:07
Fishing hooks 5:40
First-Aid 6:06
❗️ Apps that can keep that from happening ❗️ 7:03 #survivaltips #wildness #brightside SUMMARY:
– You can use your phone or the case as a storage box for some small items. It can be a razor blade, a needle, a fishing line, or a short survival instruction in a plastic bag.
– Almost any battery, including the one in your smartphone, can be used to start a fire. Put one end of the wire on the positively charged node of the battery and the other on the negative one. It’ll immediately glow red-hot, so your time is limited! – Use the screen to reflect sun- or moonlight. Sun reflections can be seen over long distances, just like a flashlight!
– Even the oldest cellphone models have a magnet in them and a piece of wire that can serve as a needle for the compass. You’ll need about ½ to 1 inch of a metallic wire.
– Phones are full of hard metal parts that can be sharpened on a rock and used as a weapon or knife. And a sharp tool like that can be a key to surviving in the wild. – If you don’t think you’re fast enough to “spear” your seafood dinner, then use some of those small sharp pointy parts in your phone as “hooks” for fishing.
– If you’ve got a bad cut on your arm or leg, you can use the cable to your ear- or headphones as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. – Family Locator and similar apps link the phones of your family members into one network. It’ll show your location on a map so that your loved ones know where you are and how to find you. – Emergency apps like SOS+ let you push an alarm button on your phone so that all the people in your emergency contact list will know that something has happened to you.
– There’s an app called SaveMePro that lets you call 911 without having to actually dial the number!
– If you’re heading to the mountains, be sure to download the Uepaa! The app that lets your smartphone work as a transmitter that sends a signal for up to 1,500 ft.
– Facebook Safety Check works automatically if you have the Facebook app on your phone. The app determines if you’re in a disaster zone and sends you a special request. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

A Girl Adopted by the Queen Had to Return to Africa



Remember Queen Victoria, the British monarch who once ruled the biggest empire in the world? The time of her reign was the Victorian Era, people donned Victorian fashion, and buildings were constructed with distinctive Victorian architecture. But there’s one thing not many people know about the Queen: she once adopted an African girl, thus saving her life! In 1850, a British emissary arrived in Dahomey. Buying and selling captives were still common in this West African kingdom. In fact, its ruler, King Ghezo, was known to capture people from rival tribes. That’s why Captain Frederick E. Forbes of the Royal Navy was sent there to carry out this noble mission. During his stay, the African king introduced him to one of his most valuable prisoners. And it was… a 7-year-old girl named Aina. TIMESTAMPS:

A “gift” for Queen Victoria 1:28
The new life of the girl 3:27
Her marriage 6:11
Why she had to return to Africa 7:59 #Queen #Africa #brightside SUMMARY:
– Fast-forward to 1850, and a British emissary arrives in Dahomey, which would be part of present-day Benin. Buying and selling captives was still common in this West African kingdom. – During his stay, the African king introduced him to one of his most valuable prisoners. And it was… a 7-year-old girl named Aina. – The poor child lost her entire family, while she herself was enslaved. – There were talks that Aina was going to be used in a sacrifice. When the British officer came to know of the girl’s fate, he decided to rescue her at any cost.
– Soon the two of them left for Britain. His ship that they sailed on was called HMS Bonetta, and the child was given a new name in both the captain and the ship’s honor: young Aina was now Sara Forbes Bonetta.
– For a child that hadn’t received any proper schooling, she really was a bright kid! – Sara’s bright mind and charm didn’t go unnoticed by the Queen herself either. They first met in 1850 at Windsor Castle.
– The Queen paid for her education and made sure that she grew up into a real English lady. She cared for her so much that she became her godmother. – When she was 8 years old, was sent to Sierra Leone, which was a British colony at the time. She attended a missionary school there for the next 4 years.
– By that time, Captain Forbes had, unfortunately, passed away, so Sara was sent to live with a missionary named Reverend Schoen and his wife. – When she turned 19, the Queen decided it was time for Sally to get married. A suitable match was found in no time, and that was Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies, a British naval officer and businessman.
– Since Davies lived and worked in Lagos, which was yet another British colony in Africa, Sara followed him there and started working as a teacher. – Sara Forbes Bonetta lived an extraordinary life. Wherever she went, whatever challenges she faced, she remained a true lady and an aristocrat in her own right.

All 220 Citizens Live and Work in the Same Building!



Imagine that you don’t have to spend hours in traffic jams on your way to the office. No need to be squeezed in a crowd of commuters at rush hour. To get to the supermarket, you don’t even have to go out. Just press a button in the elevator or walk down the stairs if you’re in an athletic mood. Sound like a miracle? In fact, there’s a town in Alaska whose citizens have everything they need under one roof. It’s Whittier, maybe the strangest town you’ve ever seen. Whittier is situated on the coast of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. All of Whittier’s 220 citizens live in one building; a tower of condominiums. Citizens don’t only live in the same building, but go to work, school, and do their shopping by just pressing different buttons in the elevator. Well, actually there’s one guy, Paul, who thinks he’s special and lives in a camper nearby. TIMESTAMPS:

– Whittier is situated on the coast of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. It was named after the glacier nearby.
– All of Whittier’s 220 citizens live in one building; a tower of condominiums.
– The 14-story building is called Begich towers, and it has pretty much everything you need in life: a police station, 2 supermarkets, town offices, a covered playground, laundry, post office, and a clinic. – Whittier is isolated from the rest of the world, and lives mostly off natural resources. Fishing is the main activity of the locals, and one of their main income generators. – Although the climate is more moderate here than deeper in Alaska, thanks to the ocean, winters are very snowy, and summers are rainy.
– You might think that it’s a paradise for introverts, where you can get lost forever. But you’ll hardly find a more interactive and social town than Whittier.
– The town was founded in 1943, and the location was chosen not for its magnificent beauty, but for the natural isolation. The town was built as a defense facility for the US military. – Several standard houses were built for the staff working in the harbor there, with very simple architecture. Buckner Building was constructed for Engineer Troops. – The army changed its plans after March 27, 1964, when the Great Alaskan earthquake, also known as the Good Friday Earthquake, occurred.
– After that, the military forces left Whittier, but the people who’d worked in the harbor and other facilities, stayed. In 1969, – Some Whittier citizens go to work in Anchorage, which is 65 miles (105 km) away. A two-way trip through the tunnel isn’t cheap – $15, and they must buy an annual pass for $500.
– There are 200 apartments in the Begich Towers, and half of them are empty now. Some people own an apartment, but live in a different place, like Anchorage. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

30+ Bizarre Canadian Laws Even Locals Never Knew



It seems like almost every country in the world has at least one law that baffles foreigners to no end, and Canada is no exception! Did you just say I can't fill my bathtub with more than 3-and-a-half inches of water when taking a bath? Yep, that's Canada! Do you want to have more than 4 pet rats at a time? Then, unfortunately, Canada isn’t the country for you. There are places in Canada where you can't attach sirens to your bike, build a snowman that’s taller than 30 inches, paint a wooden ladder, or leave home while "wearing" your pet snake on your neck or holding your pet lizard in your hands. If you want to take your snake (or any other reptile) for a walk, be so kind as to put it in a glass container. But wait, there's more to come. TIMESTAMPS:
A cow can't be your pet 0:27
No tall snowmen 0:59
You can't paint a wooden ladder 1:28
Animals made of balloons? Nope. 1:49
Don't "wear" your pet snake on your neck 2:00
Too many coins 2:16
Are you a teen? Don't untie your shoes! 3:32
Take good care of your lawn 4:04
The rule for Santa Claus 5:01
No public displays of affection on Sundays 5:48
Avoid scaring the Queen in Canada 6:21
Margarine should be white, not yellow 7:02
Don't enter the plane during the flight 8:31
Clotheslines… Yuck! 9:22
Never set someone's wooden leg on fire 9:50 #Canada #strangelaws #brightside SUMMARY:
– On the Canadian island Newfoundland, a cow can't be your pet, even if you've been dreaming of it your whole life.
– In Sudbury, Ontario, you can't attach sirens to your bike; otherwise, you'll have to pay a fine of a whopping $5,000!
– In the town of Souris, on Prince Edward Island, there’s a law that prohibits you from building a snowman that’s taller than 30 inches.
– In Etobicoke, Ontario, people seem to be a little too worried about bathtub safety. Thus, according to the local law, you can't enjoy more than 3.5 inches of water in your bathtub.
– If you ever visit the Canadian province of Alberta, do NOT paint a wooden ladder – it's against the law. – And in the town of Oshawa, in Ontario, you can’t climb a tree; otherwise, you'll have big problems with the authorities. – Victoria, British Columbia, has an inexplicable rule of its own: here, street entertainers aren't allowed to give children animals made of balloons.
– If you decide to work as a cab driver in Halifax, never – do you hear me? – never wear a T-shirt and a pair of shorts when inside the car. – If you decide to paint a garage door in Kanata, which is one of the largest suburbs of Ottawa, use any color but purple.
– Be careful if you're a teenager wearing lace-up shoes on Main Street in Fort Qu'Appelle in Saskatchewan. There, teens can’t have untied shoes.
– If you live in the town of London, Ontario, make sure that you take good care of your lawn. Once the grass grows 8 inches tall, immediately mow the lawn.
– Ok, how about this one: in Ottawa, it's illegal to eat ice cream on Bank Street on Sundays.
– In Vancouver, from 1947 to 1986, you weren't allowed to sell stoves within city limits on Wednesdays. – In Ontario, you can’t drive your sleigh along the highway without a minimum of 2 bells attached to the harness of the horse. – In Charlottetown, on Prince Edward Island, you can’t ring anyone's doorbell or knock at other people's doors as a joke – it's prohibited by law. – In Uxbridge, Ontario, you probably won’t be able to watch your favorite movie on Netflix. The problem is the Internet speed: according to the local law, it can’t be faster than 56k.
– According to Canadian laws, not less than 35% of all the content broadcasted on the radio must be of Canadian origin. – Don't pretend to be a person you aren't in Quebec. In particular, avoid impersonating a foreigner – it's illegal and is punished with a fine. – If you buy a house in Beaconsfield, Quebec, don't even try to paint it more than two colors.
– In Montreal, you can't drive a car with a "For Sale" sign on it. If you want to inform the world about your intentions, stop first, put the sign in the window next. – If you visit Oak Bay, British Columbia, with your talking parrot, make sure that it doesn't talk too loudly! Otherwise, you'll have to pay a $100 fine.
– In Alberta, try to resist the temptation to set someone's wooden leg on fire. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Never set someone's wooden leg on fire 9:50 #Canada #strangelaws #brightside SUMMARY:
– On the Canadian island Newfoundland, a cow can't be your pet, even if you've been dreaming of it your whole life.
– In Sudbury, Ontario, you can't attach sirens to your bike; otherwise, you'll have to pay a fine of a whopping $5,000!
– In the town of Souris, on Prince Edward Island, there’s a law that prohibits you from building a snowman that’s taller than 30 inches.
– In Etobicoke, Ontario, people seem to be a little too worried about bathtub safety. Thus, according to the local law, you can't enjoy more than 3.5 inches of water in your bathtub.
– If you ever visit the Canadian province of Alberta, do NOT paint a wooden ladder – it's against the law. – And in the town of Oshawa, in Ontario, you can’t climb a tree; otherwise, you'll have big problems with the authorities. – Victoria, British Columbia, has an inexplicable rule of its own: here, street entertainers aren't allowed to give children animals made of balloons.
– If you decide to work as a cab driver in Halifax, never – do you hear me? – never wear a T-shirt and a pair of shorts when inside the car. – If you decide to paint a garage door in Kanata, which is one of the largest suburbs of Ottawa, use any color but purple.
– Be careful if you're a teenager wearing lace-up shoes on Main Street in Fort Qu'Appelle in Saskatchewan. There, teens can’t have untied shoes.
– If you live in the town of London, Ontario, make sure that you take good care of your lawn. Once the grass grows 8 inches tall, immediately mow the lawn.
– Ok, how about this one: in Ottawa, it's illegal to eat ice cream on Bank Street on Sundays.
– In Vancouver, from 1947 to 1986, you weren't allowed to sell stoves within city limits on Wednesdays. – In Ontario, you can’t drive your sleigh along the highway without a minimum of 2 bells attached to the harness of the horse. – In Charlottetown, on Prince Edward Island, you can’t ring anyone's doorbell or knock at other people's doors as a joke – it's prohibited by law. – In Uxbridge, Ontario, you probably won’t be able to watch your favorite movie on Netflix. The problem is the Internet speed: according to the local law, it can’t be faster than 56k.
– According to Canadian laws, not less than 35% of all the content broadcasted on the radio must be of Canadian origin. – Don't pretend to be a person you aren't in Quebec. In particular, avoid impersonating a foreigner – it's illegal and is punished with a fine. – If you buy a house in Beaconsfield, Quebec, don't even try to paint it more than two colors.
– In Montreal, you can't drive a car with a "For Sale" sign on it. If you want to inform the world about your intentions, stop first, put the sign in the window next. – If you visit Oak Bay, British Columbia, with your talking parrot, make sure that it doesn't talk too loudly! Otherwise, you'll have to pay a $100 fine.
– In Alberta, try to resist the temptation to set someone's wooden leg on fire. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
