Antarctica Followup
Alright kids, I got the followup for you. And before I begin, a big fuck you to the pogs who if they even deployed probably never left the wire who bitched at me about my comment regarding leaving my family. I've deployed several times, if you think for a second that leaving for Antarctica is the same as a war, you're just dumb. Not much else to say there. I hope that what actually happened to me makes all of you who said that extra salty. I need it for my fries, you bitches.
As most of you guessed, it was a goof. I hate the fucking cold and because I actually got orders to some fucking Air Base in Seychelles, my friend was feeling extra salty and played a prank on me. Looks like my family will come too, so I have little to complain about now. No idea about Seychelles, but from the few pictures I took a look at it looks fucking nice.
That's all, enjoyed the ride. Didn't expect to log back on to literally 500 fucking messages.
After nearly a decade of mystery, scientists have confirmed that an unusual fossil from Antarctica is actually a massive egg. The 66-million-year-old egg likely came from a giant, ancient reptile like the mosasaurus, an aquatic reptilian predator that lived in the Late Cretaceous.

[NO SPOILERS] The return of the Ice Dragon! Found in Antarctica.
I want to go to Antarctica. How do I find critical information?
Some other guy got orders to go, apparently. The orders number looks a lil funky, but whether itβs real or not, itβs making me want to go.
That said, how would I find out if the duty station is MOS-restricted? Can I put in a request to go down there? Or do I just have to pray that I win the powerball?
Iβm pretty new to the Army, so Iβm not totally sure how PCSing and duty stations work yet (sorry!)

Sugary Fallout in Antarctica, Me, Digital, 2020
One thing people ignore about Flat Earth argument is the secrecy of Antarctica.
So I'm not a flat earther, but I've watched some videos and they do bring up some good points. Why is Antarctica so heavily guarded and why are only high level security clearance military allowed to go?
One thing that a lot of moon hoaxers point out is that the Nazi scientist who led the US in the space race had apparently gone to Antarctica shortly before the first men set foot on the moon, and they allege that since moon rocks had been discovered in Antarctica, that that was the reason the man went, to gather the rocks as more proof that we went to the moon.
Also think about it this way, if humans can travel 238,000 miles to the moon back in 1969 with the technology they had back then, why can't humans in 2020 just send out one of their super high tech drones into Antarctica to see what's really there? Seems kinda weird.
A throwback to the 18th of January 2020, my 18th Birthday. I was fortunate enough to receive the best birthday present I could ever Imagine, a sailing trip to Antarctica. This picture was taken at the Vernadsky research station (Ukraine). The yacht is called "Selma Expeditions".
In John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), only the opening few scenes take place in daylight. This is because the film begins during the first week of winter in Antarctica, when the sun does not rise for several months.

you now have the choice to pick one country from each continent (exclude Antarctica if you want) and you will get a fully paid complete tourist tour around the country, what countries do you pick?
continents:
North America (Central America and the Carribean are North America btw)
South America
Africa (The Middle East is not African as some people may believe, it's in Asia)
Europe
Asia
Oceania (Australia, NZ and The Pacific Island Nations)
edit: also why did you choose those countries?

AMA from an IT Specialist with the US Antarctica Project
Mod approved.
I am just testing the waters here. I am usually bombarded when I mention my career so I thought this would be a great experience for some.
Iβll be doing the AMA today, if this is something the community would like and Iβll answer questions throughout the day. No messages, just utilize the comment section.
I am an IT Specialist who is contracted to the US Antarctica Project and I work on Systems that support ATCs and Meteorologists. I am preparing on heading down in August for my first season and will do an AMA when I get back to answer questions about life and IT on the ice.
Edit: all done guys. Iβll answer a few more questions and then Iβm bouncing. Iβll be sure to follow up in February! I am going to be blogging my journey so feel free to PM me for that info.

The Piri Reis Map is a map of the whole world that was created in the year 1513 and encompasses a great mystery within it. This map was somehow able to show Antarctica hundreds of years before it's discovery and is said to be made from a lost chart by Christopher Columbus. Read about it below.

You must choose 1 Continent to completely erase Human life from (Except Antarctica because that's an easy choice)
For example, if a Choose {Continent} then all Humans on it will completely dissappear without pain or time to realise what is happening. Additionally, all man-made things will also disappear. (this includes buildings, Waste, ECT.)

What is the best part of living in Antarctica? What is the worst part?
Lately, I've become a bit obsessed with Antarctica, and am trying to learn more about it. I'm really curious about your experiences! I realize they will be subjective. I imagine the night sky without clouds must look incredible.
I'm also curious about the "Conspiracies" rule. I didn't realize that there were Antarctica conspiracies (though I suppose I really should have). Any fun Antarctica conspiracies?

When salt-rich water leaks out of sea ice, it sinks into the sea and can occasionally create an eerie finger of ice called a brinicle. It's also called as the ice finger of death. This super-sped video was shot in 2011 by the BBC crew in Antarctica. It took about 5-6 hours to get this.
