What is going on in Antarctica?

Why Would WikiLeaks Put Out Photos Of Antarctica?

         There has been much speculation recently, about photos released by WikiLeaks of Antarctica. Why would this be something of importance, amid all the other things they have focused on of late? Many have theorized that all of the recent political releases, and these photos are somehow connected...in some sort of bizarre conspiracy.

          Most people know that global warming has been an issue, and something that many scientists are very concerned about. This is especially important in Antarctica, as the glaciers melting could have serious consequences.Some of these photos seem to show that, and a couple show deep cracks in glaciers. It is almost as if WikiLeaks is trying to show things we are not intended to know about. I will post the photos at the end of this article so that you can see for yourself.

         Putting on my tin foil hat for a moment....when wondering why WikiLeaks would publish these pictures, I remembered something. There is a way to encode things into jpeg photographs! Perhaps there are messages encoded in these images? Just a thought....
         What is so special about Antarctica? First of all, it is our natural barometer....sort of a climate gauge,

Admiral Richard Byrd reported that there is an area of land past the ice wall that is green, and is abundant in natural resources...especially uranium and coal. This area is closed off to civilians

So.....the area is closed to civilians, it is full of URANIUM and COAL (two valuable assets both militarily AND financially) THAT means the potential for corruption. Perhaps WikiLeaks is trying to expose something? Who knows....but it is intriguing to say the least! Here are the photos contained in the leak. Please leave a comment and tell me what your thoughts are on why they would send these out. **Click on any photo to enlarge**

 Notice the HUGE cracks in the glacier in the next photo...

DAY OF RAGE? SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT

The internet has been buzzing with reports about an event to supposedly take place on Friday,
 July 15,2016 called "The Day Of Rage".....dramatic huh? Sounds a bit like a movie. However, it seems many people think this will happen, but I have my doubts. There COULD be some incidents, just because it is putting the idea into some people's heads. I mean, these incidents have ALREADY been occurring.

I believe this is mostly hype. Anonymous has put out numerous messages saying they did not make the video circulating, and that there were some vigils planned (with no call for violence). So...who is behind all this? Well...it could be some people who want this to happen decided to launch a social media campaign to incite it. It could be something more sinister, as in certain groups with bad intentions would like to start "a race war"....I don't know.

The media is chomping at the bit, and you can bet they are waiting anxiously for any violence to happen so they can hype it even further with 24 hour coverage of isolated incidents (which they will make into something bigger). Fear sells...on TV and the internet. IF this happens, that will be the reason why. The information on the internet is providing places and times that these events are supposedly going to start. It's almost as if they are telling those inclined to participate in such a thing when to start...and where.

There may be unstable or violent people who will use this opportunity for media attention to commit crimes and cause chaos. That is exactly what the people behind all this is hoping. I hope that people will realize this, and no matter how angry or passionate you are about this issue, you will vent your "rage" in a constructive way that is beneficial to your cause, and NOT detrimental to ALL. Use the internet...have PEACEFUL protests.

To the people thinking of doing this.... There are other ways to do it. A violent display will only hurt your cause, and if you want change, you must do it the right way. Don't make yourself look like the bad guy if you want a good outcome. Martin Luther King did a lot for changing things, and never once threw a stone or spoke a word calling for violence. It doesn't work. I hope that the evening will pass and nothing happens but peaceful demonstrations. A lot needs to change in this country, but killing each other and destruction is not the way to get it.

Peace and love to ALL....Kat

YELLOWSTONE SUPERVOLCANO STILL HOLDS SECRETS

YELLOWSTONE: DANGEROUS BEAUTY

An eruption as seen in the photo above is something that we hope to never see at Yellowstone National Park. It would change life as we know it for a very long time. As tourists walk among the hissing steam vents, many do not even realize they are literally standing atop one of the planet's gigantic supervolcanos. The area is so enormous, that scientists really had no idea of the true size, but now a research group, using seismic technology to scan this behemoth, have made a stunning discovery. Yellowstone's magma chambers are far greater than previously thought, say scientists from the University of Utah. Under those tourist's feet, is enough hot rock to fill the Grand Canyon nearly 14 times over.

 Scientists from the University of Utah created the first three-dimensional depiction of the geothermal structure under Yellowstone. Yellowstone's heat source reaches down 440 to 1,800 miles beneath Earth's surface -- and may come from its molten core. It is responsible for fueling the newly discovered reservoir that lies on top of it. The magma chamber lies on top of the reservoir -- and draws magma from it. It is a three to nine miles under the surface of the Earth and is what fuels the geysers and thermal features of the park. It alone has a volume 2.5 times that of the Grand Canyon. But those great magma expanses do not mean that the two hellish hollows could overflow the Grand Canyon with molten rock.

 

When Yellowstone erupts (yes I said WHEN, as it has in the past and will again someday), it will probably will change the world. Temperatures would drop, animals would die, crops would die. No going to the store for a gallon of milk. The consequences would be dire indeed. Most people just so not realize the enormity of what this would mean. Of course this is a worst case scenario, but it has happened before and it will happen again. This question is, when? So far, scientists just don't know.

The explosions in Yellowstone's past have left deep scars, and you nay be familiar with one -- the Yellowstone Caldera, which takes up much of the park and is lined by mountains. The caldera is a volcanic crater left behind when 240 cubic miles of debris ruptured out of the Earth and into the air during volcanic discharge some 630,000 years ago, USGS says. Long before that, 2 million years ago, volcanic activity blew 600 cubic miles of Yellowstone debris into the air. Those were the two largest eruptions in North America in a few million years, the USGS said, and they each buried in ash more than a third of what is now the continental U.S. "If another large caldera-forming eruption were to occur at Yellowstone, its effects would be worldwide," the USGS says. It would drastically shift the world's climate.

 

When scientists are asked publicly about the changes happening at Yellowstone, or if there are signs it may erupt soon...the answer is usually the same. They say that currently, they see nothing to indicate and imminent eruption. But the general public has taken a great interest in Yellowstone. People watch the live webcams and see things which seem concerning. Many are concerned about the magma intrusion seen on the seismographs. All we can do is watch, prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Check back here for more on the strange things the public has been seeing on the live cams....follow up story on that coming soon. Meanwhile, here are some time lapse views from the live cam (you can see more on my youtube channel ...justclick on the videos below, then click on my name)

AN EXPLANATION FOR THE BRIGHT LIGHTS AND GREEN GLOW/SPARKLING AT YELLOWSTONE?

PART 1

NEW TECHNOLOGY TO STUDY VOLCANOES

As those of you who visit my youtube channel  know, I have been posting many videos showing an odd brightness at night, in which the night looks like mid afternoon. There is a green glow over the area at times, and a column of a bluish color ,which "sparkles" can be seen every night.
I have been looking for an explanation for this, and thanks to one of my viewers, we may be about to find out! There is a new technology for studying the inner working of volcano. Below is an article published may2015 by Photonics.com, describing using lasers, night vision, and fluorescent light!
Here is a link to my youtube channel if you would like to view the videos which show the bright nights and other things mentioned.

Here is the article

Lasers Probe Causes of Volcanic Eruptions

May 2015

LIVERPOOL, UK, May 18, 2015 — A better understanding of volcanoes' inner workings based on fluorescence imaging could help save lives.

A team from the University of Liverpool in the UK, Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and the University of Newcastle in Callaghan, Australia, has developed a technique that could enable faster and more accurate detection of volcanic unrest.

"Understanding the triggers for volcanic eruptions is vital for forecasting efforts, hazard assessment and risk mitigation," said Janine Kavanagh, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool's School of Environmental Sciences. "With more than 600 million people worldwide living near a volcano at risk of eruptive activity, it is more important than ever that our understanding of these complex systems and their triggering mechanisms is improved."

The researchers created scale models in the lab at Monash University, allowing them to study volcano plumbing systems by demonstrating how magma ascends from great depths up to the surface through a series of connected fractures (dykes and sills). Colored water was injected into a tank filled with gelatine (jelly) to mimic rising magma.

The researchers used a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser sheet (532 nm) to illuminate fluorescent particles in the gelatine, allowing them to track the simulated magma's movement. A CCD camera recorded images of the fluorescing particles with the same timing as the laser sheet, 2 Hz, for up to 60 minutes. A 532- to 546-nm bandpass filter was mounted on the camera to eliminate spurious reflections.

Sandy Cruden, professor at the Monash School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, said, “we discovered a significant and previously unknown drop in pressure when the ascending vertical dyke stalled to form a horizontal sill.” A pressure drop can drive the release of dissolved gasses, potentially causing the magma to explode and erupt, he said.

"It's similar to removing a cap from a bottle of shaken fizzy drink," he said. "The pressure drop causes bubbles to form, and the associated increase in volume results in a fountain of foam erupting from the bottle."

The technique essentially records when and how magma moves at depth and helps determine the likelihood of an eruption, whereas other volcano-monitoring systems rely on satellites, ground deformation devices and seismometers.

IS JAPAN HEADING FOR ANOTHER MEGA QUAKE?

Signs Pointing To Another Mega EQ In Japan?

By Kat Marin 4/17/2016                           

 I came across today that is very disturbing in light of the renewed earthquake activity in Japan, especially in the Kyushu region. In the article, which was from May 11, 2015, it talks about shallow tremors being detected under the ocean, that could be a sign that the country may be heading for another mega quake...perhaps worse than the last one. Japan is still recovering from the 9.0 megathrust earthquake, which devastated the country in 2011, and caused a nuclear disaster.  It killed almost 16,000 people.  

Japan has one of the most sophisticated earthquake detection systems in the world, and with  Ocean Bottom Seismometers, they can listen to the "rumbling" that is created when two tectonic plates meet. Such instruments have helped detect low-energy, "slow earthquakes" along oceanic trenches that we otherwise wouldn't notice.

These earthquakes occur much more slowly than standard earthquakes. By comparison, big earthquakes are caused by the rupture of faults and give rise to short-lived, high-energy seismic waves.

Slow-slip earthquakes and tremors don't cause any damage on their own. But if they coincide with very-low-frequency earthquakes they could. These are another type of slow earthquake that is caused by processes deeper under ground,  and usually indicate fault motions where the tectonic plates meet. If all these types of slow earthquakes take place, along the faulted zone at different depths, they might be a sign of a mega-thrust earthquake in the future.

                     THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN IN 2015!

                                        SOUND FAMILAR?

 

 The earthquakes which are happening right NOW as of April 2016 are in the exact area this article mentions (almost one year ago!) The area has many volcanoes, and Sakurajima has had several huge eruptions in the same time frame as these earthquakes. Mt Aso is showing unrest now as well.

 

           This next paragraph is an EXACT QUOTE from the article,

 "The next such earthquake could strike the coast of Kyushu, a region known for its dangerous volcanoes. Let's hope that, by then, we have come far enough to prevent the same devastation as we saw in 2011. No place is better than Japan to drive such technological progress."  Source:  http://phys.org/news/2015-05-rumbling-ocean-trenches-japan-mega.html

 

Eerie isn't it? Could what they mentioned was going on in 2015 been the harbinger for what is occurring now, and were these earthquakes just a forshock for what is coming? Only time will tell...but it certainly seems to matchup! Please comment and let me know what you think.
