The researchers found in Antarctica is an extremely rare form of ice that the characteristic appearance called “skin of the dragon.”
Strange ice noticed for the first time since 2007. It was noticed aboard the U.S. research ship “Nathaniel B. Palmer”, which explored the Antarctic polynya.
The city of Hanabi in South Africa is considered the most popular with adventurers who want to swim in a cage surrounded by white sharks. However, in recent time, tourists can interfere with orcas addicted to attack sharks with the purpose to eat their liver
“Skin dragon” is formed when the blow of the strong katabatic wind is heavy and cold air flows downward. They lift the edge of the ice floes and frozen water under them. The result is that ice gorge, similar to the scales of fire-breathing reptiles of fantasy.
During these processes produce ten times more ice than average in the coastal Antarctic polynyas.
“Imagine that you fill the form of ice and put it in the freezer for a week. This is a normal process of ice formation. Now imagine that you removed the ice from the mold each day and freeze the water again. Thus get much more ice. That’s what katabatic wind push the ice and create new ones”, — explained the scientists from the Institute of marine and Antarctic studies at the University of Tasmania.
The wind during the stay of the vessel in the area of the strange formation of ice has reached 120 km/h.
