Members,
I've been studying Rod M. Cluff's explanation of the Radarsat image. You all
might remember that I posted the image, along with Rod's comments, at the
bottom of my images page:
http://www.skyboom.com/hollowearthpuranas/index6.html
I really think the guy got it.
He said: " you can see fog coming up out of the opening on the right side of
the dark area." By dark area he means the red circle. And you can really see
a white line snaking off to the right of it.
Then he says: " Also, notice that towards the top left is an area where
there is a lot of icebergs that regularly break off the antarctic ice and
that there is a definite flow of ice from this dark circular area."
And this is true. From 10 or 11 oçlock on the red circle on up at an angle,
you can actually se the lines where the ice flow is across the continent.
Who can get us an Antartic relief map? We have to check elevations and
grades along that line.
Then he says: " Looking at the edges
of this dark area of low radar reflectivity I see
a definite depression. On the sides you can see
clearly the surface details which taper off in in
clarity towards the dark area caused by the
sloping angle as you enter the depression. "
And the image really does show this. You can see texture around the red
circle, but the texture tapers off as you arrive at the circle and then it
is all dark. I don't have my atlas here, nor is it a super-good one. Can
anybody use the key to their atlas and figure out the width of the opening?
You know, rule of thumb.
Now look at the Bancroft-Arneson expedition map, those two ladies who
crossed the Antartic and got picked up. It is attached ( Thanks, Ralph ).
They went so far left of it that they didn't even stay on land- they passed
across the Ross Ice Shelf!
Something else- Now go to my informal Antartic page:

Look at the map, third image down, entitled 1999 Antartic AWS Site Names.
AWS means automatic weather station ( unmanned ). The opening area seems to
be between AGO 1, AGO 4 and AGO 5. They forma triangle at that circle which
represents 85* of latitude and 120* of longitude, which is synonamous with
the 39* which Rod calls it in his comments. ( 40* = 120*, it depends on how
you number them. ) I wonder what those weather stations really are, what
they really measure.
Well, that's it for now. I kind of went over this before, with no comments
or feedback. This is the kind of info that hollow earthers of yesteryear,
like Gardner, could only speculate on- they didn't have any Radarsat images
to deduce from! And you're having it all given to you n a silver platter!
Nansen spent three years collecting info, Cook was slandered and got thrown
in jail for sticking his nose where it shouldn't have been, Admiral Peary
lost toes to frostbite! How cold are you?
Any feedback, especially from new people?
later,
Dharma/Dean
