Ice mountains know how to sing!

A 700 m long iceberg off the coast of Argentina

Scientists are examining the tremors of the Earth's crust in Antarctica believing they have found an ice mountain. This interesting discovery is published in today's issue of Science journal.

The sound waves emitted from this glacier are about 0.5 hertz, very low, so people cannot hear it, but if they emit at higher speeds, those sounds like a sound The bees are flying or an orchestra is starting, scientists said.

The Alfred Wegener Institute of Germany, which specializes in ocean and polar research, published its findings, which has been in place since 2002, in the journal Science. Accordingly, from mid-July to November 2002, researchers captured unprecedented audio signals while recording seismic signals to measure earthquakes and tectonic activity in Ekstroem ribbon on the South Atlantic coast of Antarctica.

Following these signals, scientists discovered a 20-kilometer 50x glacier that collided underwater under the peninsula and slowly smashed the ice around it. ' This iceberg is trapped in the bottom of the sea so it looks like a rock on a river. Water pushed through its gaps, forming high pressure and the iceberg began to sing. The melodies are up and down, like a real song , 'said scientist Vera Schlindwein.
