Studies

Hello!
This week, I am going to introduce studies of Antarctic. In Antarctic, as you know, it is very cold. So Antarctica have a special environment. For this reason, I think that I want to introduce it. And the researcher can work on experiments that can not be imitated in other regions.

The study will be carried out in various fields. For example biology, geology, oceanography, physics, astronomy, science snow and ice, and meteorology.

In biology, Bad effects of human existence and the existence of wildlife in the frigid environment gives are studied. So adaptability of living creatures be noted. And medical scientists will focus on the impact on the spread of the virus and the human body under extreme ambient temperature.

In geology,  study of  plate tectonics and meteorites from outer space is carried out mainly. Geological Survey of Antarctica has been hampered by a thick layer of ice that never melts. However, by a new technology is introduced, sleeping under the ice structure began to clear.
So a result of the investigation, in Antarctic, researcher found that there are a lot of coal, oil, iron ore and gas fields.But we can not discover them by treaty.


You can see the special phenomenon in the Antarctic. It is Aurora and Midnight Sun.
Aurora is a luminous phenomenon of the atmosphere. Aurora is like a beautiful curtain. You may think that it is difficult to see the aurora. However, in areas with high frequency of the aurora seen most, it looks about 250 days a year. In other words you can see the aurora almost every day!! In Japan, a red aurora have been found.
Midnight sun is a phenomenon that is not sinking sun, or supposed to be made in the middle of the night twilight. Midnight sun often happens in the summer. The sun does not sink for about three months, even if in the middle of the night!

Meteorite research has also been carried out. Meteorite which discovered in Antarctica is very important to know the material you have configured the early solar system. Meteorite discovered in Antarctica, the state of preservation is better than those found in other regions. By it, there is a new discovery.

In the Antarctic various studies have been carried out. If you have an interest in this research, I'm glad. Next week, I am going to introduce movies of Antarctica. There are a lot of movie of Antarctica. I'll show you what I thought is the best. Please look forward to it.
