So, it seems you guys love Antarctica! Who knew! Our video, the Top 10 Things Found Frozen
Under Ice In Antarctica reached the Youtube Trending page so we thought we would give
you another icy helping. I am Danny Burke and this is The Top 10 Scary
Antarctica Theories. It is a good time of year for it, isn’t
it! I don’t know about where you live but it
is basically Antarctica in Toronto Canada right now! The question I want to ask you today is how
cold does it get where YOU live in the winter? I think the coldest it gets here in Canada
is negative 30 degrees Celsius? Let me know in the comments section down below
and while you are down there, leave a thumbs up on this video and click that notification
bell so you never miss a trending video! Also, check out the links to our Instagram
in the description box. For now though, sit tight as WINTER is coming. Starting off at number 10 now we have Aliens[a]. Wherever there is a mysterious piece of land
- someone will say that aliens have been there - Antarctica is one of those places. One of the more recent claims came in April
2017 when conspiracy theorists claimed to have found evidence of an underwater base
off the coast of Antarctica. The 500m long object was spotted on Smyley
island. This image was posted by to the Website for
-UFO Sightings Hotspot- … the first thing people usually say is that - it looks like
its just an iceberg that split away from the mainland. The UFO Sightings website disagrees though
- they say the object does not fit in with the normal shapes of usual categories of iceberg. They said that the shapes and forms from this
iceberg look very different when compared with icebergs - they believe that it could
be a vessel in disguise. Next up at number 9 we have The Ice Wall. Ahh, flat earthers! Don’t they always have the best theories! A lot of Flat Earth critics raise the very
fair question of what exactly happens when people sail or fly to the end of the earth
and how we don’t, you know, fall off. The Flat Earth society believes that there
is a massive 150 foot ice wall surrounding the coast of Antarctica. Not only is it tall, it is also thick… several
hundreds of metres thick to be precise. Flat earthers often cite the explorer James
Clark Ross – the British expeditions went to Antarctica in the mid 1800s. In his travel notes he wrote of an icy wall
– saying : It was ... an obstruction of such character as to leave no doubt in my
mind as to our future proceedings, for we might as well sail through the cliffs of Dover
as to penetrate such a mass. Although, of course, many historians and those
who have actually read the full extent of his journals will know that he is talking
about an ice shelf – the Ross Ice Shelf that was named after him…although this shelf
is just 50 metres high and was 600 kilometres long until it recently broke apart. To end this point about the ice wall, let
me read one of my favourite quotes from the Flat Earth society: Beyond the 150-foot Ice
Wall is anyone's guess. How far the ice extends; how it terminates;
and what exists beyond it, are questions to which no present human experience can reply. Apart from…you know… humans who study
science….humans with telescopes… humans who have been to space. Forget about them! Moving on to number 8 we have Atlantis[b]. For centuries - people have been searching
for Atlantis - the lost island Plato wrote about in The Republic. It was the home of the Atlanteans - a technologically
advanced civilization who were said to possess almost mystical qualities beyond the average
human. Some people dismissed it as fictional but
others have become convinced that the island was real and that it was submerged under the
water thousands of years ago. Theres a theory that Atlantis was not submerged
though and that it is actually frozen in the ice of Antarctica. In April 2018, the YouTube channel Conspiracy
Depot shared a Google Earth image which shows a strange area in the Antarctic ice. The image shows a series of lines that, according
to to the video, have an artificial origin and have recently been exposed due to melting
ice in the area. They said the object is split into 3 parts
that are all about 7m long - it seems too perfect to be formed naturally. OK moving on now to number 7 we have Nazis[c]. I remember one video I did a while back where
I discussed in detail the theory that the Nazi party survived World War 2 and and are
currently living in a base on the dark side of the moon. Yeah, that was an interesting theory - but
so is this. A lot of people think that this secret base
was actually in Antarctica. They say that scientists in the 3rd Reich
mapped out an area of rivers and caves across Antarctica - then, they discovered a large
underground lake. They decided this would be the perfect place
for their secret base. They supposedly called it -Base 22- or -New
Berlin- … for the conspiracy theorists who believe all this - they are now split between
the ones who think the base is lost beneath the ice, and the ones who think it is still
home to a Nazi community all these years on … Next up at number 6 we have The Bloop[d]. You may have heard me mention this one before. The Bloop was nickname given to a strange
sound picked up by hydrophones across the Pacific in 1997. The hydrophones are essentially like giant
microphones - they are positioned over 5,000km apart so its not very often that they all
pick up the same thing - except this time. A number of them picked up the same loud,
ultra low frequency sound across the pacific. Take a listen. CLIP. To many people, that sounds like an animal
- some sort of creature that made a noise so loud it was picked up across Earths biggest
ocean. If such a creature did exist, it would be
bigger than anything weve ever seen - thats the only way it could make a sound that loud. Well, scientists said this is not true and
that the sound was actually caused by icequakes in the Antarctic - its the sound of ice breaking
up and cracking and the sound was picked up as The Bloop. Others arent buying it and say that the sound
may have come from Antarctica, but it was definitely biological … Moving on to number 5 we have Hollow Earth[e]. Youve heard of the flat Earth theory, but
have you heard of the Hollow Earth theory. As you can probably guess from the name - it
proposes that the planet is entirely hollow on the inside - that we all live on a shell
that is 500 miles thick - which is only a fraction of the way to the centre of the Earth. So, where does Antarctica come into this? Well, in December 2016 - a study was published
indicating that there seems to be a massive anomaly underneath the ice of Antarctica. Some researchers believed it to be the remains
of a truly massive asteroid that is more than twice the size of the one that wiped out the
dinosaurs. Another theory is that is could be the portal
or entrance to the Hollow Earth. I also read an article about Russian scientists
drilling down through the ice in Antarctica - hopefully they don't pierce through to space
inside … Moving on to number 4 we have Area 51[f]. It doesnt matter what kind of video I do about
conspiracy theories - Area 51 will always crop up - even in Antarctica. In March 2018, news articles began circulating
about Arrival Heights, a secret laboratory located deep in the mountains of Antarctica
that is called Area 51. That kinda makes you think of how many secret
bases theyve made between 51 and 122. I guess the answer is 71. Yeah. Journalists from New Zealand investigated
the lab and found that it was filled with old technology. It was very strange. Like something out of a movie. The computers had floppy drives - there was
a huge computer called the Dobson spectrometer which had a periscope sticking up out of the
roof. So what is it all for? Well, they say its to study the hole in the
ozone layer above the continent. The old equipment is so sensitive that even
breath or speaking too loudly is said to damage it. Some people say that the base is hiding more
secrets and that Area 122 could be the new Area 51. Moving on to number 3 we have The Pyramids[g]. In 2013, an article on Scienceray. Com claimed that three ancient pyramids had
been discovered in the Antarctic by a team of American and European scientists. Relatively little is known about the pyramids
and the team behind their discovery has remained silent ever since. One piece of information that emerged was
that they were planning an expedition to the pyramids to research them properly and determine
if they were natural or man made. If theyre natural, they could simply be the
product of erosion or tectonic activity - btu if theyre man made - that would open up the
suggestion of ancient civilizations. We know of only a handful of civilizations
that built pyramids as big as the ones discovered in Antarctica - most notably the Aztecs and
the Ancient Egyptians. Conspiracy theorists are already jumping on
board with the Antarctica Pyramids as proof of a lost pyramids building civilization … Next up at number 2 we have The Big Melt[h]. As Im sure youre aware, Antarctica is covered
in a sheet of ice - at some points its 3 miles thick. And, as Im sure youve seen on the news, the
ice caps are melting. When you see those images of glaciers drifting
out into the ocean - its natural to think - what if it all goes? Well, that would be a disaster. Some estimates state that if all the ice on
the Antarctica sheet were to melt, sea levels would rise by 200ft. To give you an idea of what this would do
- the entire east coast of the US would be underwater and Florida would vanish - it would
be almost entirely underwater. Another scary aspect of all this is that we
don't know how much or how quickly this could happen or even what it would look like. Climate scientists still have a lot to understand
when it comes to this process - but their worst case scenarios paints a pretty grim
picture … And finally at number 1 we have Ancient Diseases[i]. As we know, Antarctica is pretty cold. So cold, land is buried under two kilometres
of ice. Recently in Siberia, in part of the arctic
circle, nomadic tribes were effected by an outbreak of anthrax that came as a result
of permafrost melting an unleashing an ancient strain. A 12 year old boy died and thousands of reindeer
became infected. Obviously there are many reasons to be worried
about the ice caps melting, but it seems that ancient diseases could be trapped under the
ice that modern day humans and animals have no resistance to. As the ice is so thick, we literally cannot
know what is under there, and what might be lurking. It seems that permafrost provides the perfect
conditions for bacteria to remain alive, dormant for millions of years. Scientists are worried that a pandora’s
box of illnesses we don’t know how to cure are out there waiting to emerge one day. Aaaaand we are done! Thats two Antarctica videos in quick succession
- how do you like that? Do you want a 3rd? I think Rebecca might be doing one very soon. Shall I do one about the north pole? Is it cold places you guys like in general? Maybe Ill do one about Mt Everest. Either way, let me know - thanks for watching
as always guys, my name is Danny Burke and Ill see you all in the next video!
