Antarctica

Antarctica is the Highest, Driest, Coldest, Cloudiest & Windiest place on Earth
Largest > Wind Driven Current / Hole in the Ozone / Desert / Glacier / Volcanic region
World's largest Stores > of Fresh Water 70% + Ice 90%
During Summer the Sun never sets opens up World's clearest Observation window to Space.

Map of Territorial Claims

Expeditions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Antarctic_expeditions

1760-1770's French Women Botanists pass as men to join crews about Antarctic Circle
1772-75 Captain Cook voyages in & out of Antarctic Circle but fails to sight land.
1819 - Chilean woman may be first ashore from Wreck. (Her skull is found in 1985 > re: above)
1820 - Russia Bellinghausen on Vostock sights Antarctica + (Circumnavigation)
1820 - Irish / UK Bransfield on Willams also sights Antarctica just 3 days after on Jan 30.
1821 - UK/US Sealer J. Davis on Cecilia ashore (possibly) mystery woman to land first here.
Notes: Ship Women (locals) were often used as interpreters to equally calm hostilities.
Many ships had one woman onboard...so the 21 year old lass was on either of the ships or local.

1839 Australia First Antarctic Dog "Sydney" hitched a ride on US ship from Oz.
1902 UK Balloon
1911 Norway Amundsen ( South Pole) on Fram (Oz / C.Archer) 1st & best Ship to both Poles.
1914-1947 - Women are banned from Blokes World.
1928 OZ/US Plane flies over Antarctica + 1960 Oz Helicopters (Note Oz earlier Crashes / both)
1946 US Sub ( Operation High Jump) Claims swathes of Antarctica...
This bizarre underwater claim may just be what China is doing with sub Antarctic Passage claims.
This actually took some searching...(Equally quiet as mention of Antarctic Indigenous peoples!)

Never missed a beat...very reason tbb posted this thread was to unearth a world of wonder.
swellnet has touched on Antarctic current & Surf but world is spinning & all keep landing here!

Crew are already making waves & all are freaking out.
Huge welcome to good friends & future friendly crew.

Before we push on...
( Very important fact about Australian Aboriginal People )
They have the best vision in the world & can see 4x better / further than non Aboriginals.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-08/prince-harry-may-struggle-to-keep....
tbb has stood atop Bruny Island Light House & spotted backwash 25km away.( Aborigines > 1-200km)
Tasmanian Aborigines would easily see the whole island chain to Antarctica & 4x closer journey thru their eyes!
What looks impossible to our modern eyes was simply straight forward Island hopping to Indigenous Peoples.
There was no need to navigate or 2nd guess if land was in sight...one could better provision for voyage.
Perhaps early seafarers could visualize most Pacific routes as their world is 4x more encompassing than ours.

Simple overlooked facts that open up the Pacific like never before...How could we not see that!
This in part explains the immediate need for indigenous navigators...
They would easily see navigational Stars & distant smoke or shores from far at sea.

tbb trawled thru many buried civilizations of Squared footings & Pyramids & stone paths.
Had to admit...was very tempted to confirm one or two as evidence of such...However!
Most can be explained away...said most, as eye sight is obviously not the best!
(Antarctic Desert Pavement) is caused by Soil deflation (As ground sinks pebbles compact in line.)
This rare site deals with both ancient geoglyphs (1,000's year ago) to natural formations
https://www.basinandrangewatch.org/DesertPavement.html
(Pyramids) Cirque + Cirque lake glaciers = 1 Arete > 3 Aretes = 1 Glacial Horn or 1 Pyramid Glacier
https://socratic.org/questions/what-is-a-horn-and-how-is-it-formed
(Footings) Square Shapes > see square pattern form mountain side to sea (Likely the equal current)
Note tessellated / cube rocks on Tassie south coast (tbb has one) so it must represent on Antarctica
https://www.newsweek.com/antarctica-frozen-climate-sugar-cubes-750167
https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/here-s-how-weird-rectangular-lookin...
https://www.livescience.com/63875-weird-square-iceberg-antarctica.html

Like we're surfers & none of those above images are perfectly clear us.
Yet all are seemingly frozen from another time just like the weird stuff that confuses us on Antarctica.

These natural nerd shapes are naturally confused for Ancient civilizations / Ships / Secret Bases
We ever see Civilizations of pavements & Pyramids while the Planet laughs at us...(re: Cloud Shapes!)
tbb left many Antarctic secrets buried for the crew & lost civilisations
Massive Sand dunes to be surfed?
That really gross slimy Martian Red stuff messin' up the pristine white backdrop.

Surfing example...
We see cross swells form square shapes on the Ocean...surfers get that, but other folk freak out.
Imagine if those perfectly square inshore urban cross swell waves freeze over.
To a non local the cityscape extends to Mass frozen Municipal Wave Pool Arena...
Laughing & Skating with Local yelling to come in from the ocean...(Think he said : "Poetry in motion!")

With more access & natural recordings one can easily confuse ocean for wave pool for land.
To think, many would blur our own place in time...so we gotta keep an open mind & that's cool!
Luv the Polynesian Arrowroot claim...well over our heads...whatever floats yer canoe or ice cube!

No Bermuda triangle but can share that tbb is resurfacing mysterious Antarctic Circle Ship incidents.
Crew rightly point out, there is a long history of such but tbb swears recent ships are most mysterious.
Plenty of weird ship shapes of late..Antarctic Site will double as a Political arena! (Watch this space!)

Oddly it's mostly been plane incidents in the history of Antarctica!

Awesome TBB, I would not doubt their vision capabilities. My Ms grew up on a big farm, without too much TV distraction so her eyes were calibrated "further out" - always amazed what she could pick out - never really won a game of animal spotto driving either... "Wedgey, 30 points to me, 5 games to none now." "Where?"

Also have a look for 'way finding' - the way Polynesian navigators used the feeling of swell direction to navigate, it's phenomenal.

Lastly, with my eyes, I was working on a radio tower in Tassie on a very clear day - I knew the shape of the mountains in the distance, so with the map, worked out I could see a quarter of the state in the panorama - south, west and north.. One of the more remarkable days at work. Imagine what the indigenous Tasmanians would see...

Oh yeah, Bruny, did you see the view from the cliffs at the S side of Adventure Bay... wow.

TBB, an old friend of the family claimed the Egyptians had maps of Antarctica found inside the pyramids thousands of years old.The only thing I could find in relation to ancient maps of Antarctica is The Piri Ries map.

V J interesting article, the possibility of "ultrasonic machinery" regarding building the pyramids.

You guys got any interesting info regarding the Gympie pyramid?I've heard a story.Is it a hoax/conspiracy or were the Egyptians in Oz?
The Aboriginal cave paintings on Wessel Island,thousand year old African coins found??Indiana Jones stuff...cheers

None expected this...Govt just pulled $25m from Annual budget.
https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8374488/australian-antarctic-divi...

However...it's not wot it seems...the money is needed to fix a bigger past problem!

27 April 2016 ~ $1.9b / 30 year (Serco) package for $528m RSV Nuyina (Southern Lights)
Nov 2020 North Sea Trials
Feb 2021-2022-2023 Dry Docked for repairs

Aug 2023 Nuyina is banned from entering it's 30 year $1.9b Hobart Port lease .
https://www.thedcn.com.au/news/ports/approval-withdrawn-from-nuyinas-tas...

True...Nuyina can't Navigate Tasman Bridge without Total Port redesign / relocation.
Sounds like #1 Oz fuck up on the World Oceanic Stage.

Original engineers accounted for height / length / beam...all Ok!
So wotz the problem tbb...

Initially it was a height concern for High sitting Flat Bottom with high Instrument restrictions.


Indeed Hobart initially permitted access...continuing to accommodate the ship...

Bridge authorities were made aware of 25.6m initial beam had bulked out to 35.1m...
Still it just slots a dead straight central run thru Tasman Bridge into Hobart Port...(Just!)
However...Port/s have swing basins for departure...(Here lies the problem)
Fully Laden Nuyuna can't Surf out in a true line thru the massive Columns!
In fact it don't even meet minimum Risk assessment...It will take out the bridge on a windy day.
Harbour authorities chew off fingers each time it departs...Please No...not on my watch...That close!
Secret whispers say a fish tail nudge may have woken them up! (re: Shades of '75 Mega disaster)

New makeshift (Being for 23years of remaining 30 years Serco Jerks Antarctic HQ lease)
Hate to think of cost for cancelling a 23 year premium lease in Hobart...(Could ask for a Footy Stadium?)

Antarctica is now essentially 2 days further travel to nearest Australian Port.
Major setback gives massive competitive advantage to rival Global researchers.

4 days extra Peak resource added for each return expedition for major impost.
150 Expert pass/crew = 600 extra premium days wage bill burnt each expedition.
1200 Tonne x 600 miles extra fuel resource

Shifting Oz #1 Antarctic #1 Shipping HQ to Bass Strait Burnie just for One ship.
28% Cost blowout for next 23 years Expeditions (Without costing HQ research / Ed / Port transfers!)
Brings us up to date to here and now Senate inquiry over $25m Govt cutback.
Govt are clawing back a mere $25m = comparative 600 miles 15x $1.5m rescue expeditions
Average 5 trips a year or about 1 Govt term = $25m extra Antarctic transit cost for Niyuna.

Greens / Libs ordered Senate review...
Waste of time ...(Big Ship in tight windy port (Bang) Bridge $350m / 2 years span repair costs alone)
Just forget it...All fucked up...suck it up for 23years or compensate Hobart an AFL stadium!
