Why is the weather in Antarctica and the Arctic bad?
Less vegetation and heavy snow. The Antarctic is the coldest place on earth, and scientists are particularly aware of this. Therefore, they tried to use this natural freezer to store some important samples that need to be refrigerated, such as corals, marine sediments and confidential documents that are about to disappear. However, due to the warming of the climate, when it is used as a natural ice storage site, the temperature also rises, which will adversely affect the refrigerated samples. 1994, they chose a glacier as the future sample storage point. Results In 2005, the temperature in the same place increased by 65438 0.5℃ during re-measurement. Scientists are worried about the speed of temperature rise. They hope to prepare for the establishment of the Antarctic ice bank from now on. Therefore, scientists decided to start transporting ice cubes to the South Pole in order to better protect the Antarctic ice bank. It is not easy to transport ice to the South Pole. First of all, where does a lot of ice come from? And what tools are used to transport ice to the South Pole? These are all problems that cannot be solved at present. However, French scientists have become "pioneers" in transporting ice to Antarctica. They use special drills to extract cylindrical ice cores from alpine glaciers around the world, such as the Alps. They dug tunnels in the glaciers so that the ice cores could be transported out piece by piece. Moreover, in order to better preserve the ice core, they also used a specially designed freezer and transported the ice core to the South Pole by helicopter. But French scientists don't just transport ice to the South Pole. In fact, the ice core itself is also of great scientific research value. Because the ice core is formed by the condensation of ice and snow for thousands of years, there will be some small bubbles in the ice core, which preserve the air samples when the ice is formed. By analyzing these samples, we can know the atmospheric composition at that time. Transporting the ice cores of various mountains and rivers to the South Pole for preservation provides excellent conditions for future people to study our air. Ice core can not only cool the temperature of Antarctic sample storage point, but also be an important climate data. It seems like a "cold joke" to transport ice to the South Pole, but it is actually a more reasonable thing. Polar bears began to eat dolphins, and humans began to transport ice to the South Pole. These are the new changes brought by climate warming to the North and South poles. Source: big technology, scientific mystery
