Salomon August Andrée. The second half of the 19th century has often been called the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. [1] The inhospitable and dangerous Arctic and Antarctic regions appealed powerfully to the imagination of the age, not as lands with their own ecologies and cultures, but as challenges to be conquered by technological ingenuity and manly daring.
On 14 February, an open channel of water opened up 0.25 mi (0.40 km) ahead of the ship and dawn showed the Endurance was afloat in a pool of soft, young ice no more than 2 ft (0.61 m) thick, but the pool was surrounded by solid pack ice of 12–18 ft (3.7–5.5 m) in thickness, blocking the path to the open lead. A day's continual work by the ...
SLD ice refers to ice formed in supercooled large droplet (SLD) conditions. It is similar to clear ice, but because droplet size is large, it extends to unprotected parts of the aircraft and forms larger ice shapes, faster than normal icing conditions, which nearly all aircraft aren't sufficiently protected from.
As sea ice freezes, it rejects increasingly salty water, which drains through narrow brine channels that thread through the ice. The brine flowing through the brine channels and out of the bottom of the ice is very cold and salty, so it sinks in the warmer, fresher seawater under the ice, forming a plume. The plume is colder than the freezing ...
Ice has a semi-liquid surface layer; When you mix salt onto that layer, it slowly lowers its melting point.. The more surface area salt can cover, the better the chances for melting ice.. Ice ...
The couple said in the lawsuit that shortly after 8 p.m. on Jan. 1, a chunk of ice the size of a watermelon crashed through the roof and landed "directly over their bed barely escaping devastating ...
A passenger is suspected of falling off the Ruby Princess early Monday. The U.S. Coast Guard was called in to help find the man, but has since called off the search.
[1]: 36 Combined with the effects of ice on the wing, the high climb rate caused the plane's left wing to stall and the plane to begin rolling over. [ 1 ] : 36 Flight 1713 was Bruecher's first flight after a 24-day absence from flight duties and the NTSB concluded that this prolonged absence had eroded the newly hired first officer's retention ...
