'Singing' from Antarctica will be the sound that haunts you most today

American experts have recently announced "melodious" but haunting sounds. Where does this sound come from?

Did you know that Antarctica can sing too? It sounds hard to believe, and many people judge that it is the most haunting sound, because it's like a horror movie.

Specifically, recently, researchers have recorded the sound emitted from the Ross ice shelf (the largest ice shelf of Antarctica) . This is a humming sound like singing, because the wind blows through the ice in this area.

Saying is singing but actually if you come here, you won't hear anything. The reason is because these sounds are inherently low in low frequencies that the human ear cannot hear. However, experts have sped up 1,200 times, and so we have a strangely "music" , and also extremely . gloomy.

"The song"of Antarctica is the sound you most obsessed with today.

"It sounds like you blow a flute with ice," said Julien Chaput, a geophysicist from Colorado University (USA).

Of course, Chaput and the research group did not intend to make a piece for a horror movie. Their original goal was to learn more about the properties of this largest Antarctic ice shelf (the area of ​​Ross's shelf is almost equal to Spain).

The story here is that as the temperature of the Earth increases, this ice shelf starts to collapse and break down from within. The team buried 34 geological sensors in the area to better understand what is happening.

Saying is singing but actually if you come here, you won't hear anything.

The sensors tracked the structure of the ice shelf in the last period of 2014 - 2017. By the time analysts expected, they realized that the snow on the ice shelf had shifted very well because of the impact of the wind. More precisely the impact of the storms, and the change in temperature.

And this process sounds.

"Wind speed, temperature, and position changes of snow dunes have created different sounds."

Researchers are doing experiments.

According to Chaput, the study of the generated vibrations will help to know the reaction of the ice shelf to the growing impact of the environment.

"Like the mammoth's thick coat, the snow layer on the ice shelf is the most important protective layer for this area before the impact of climate change" - quoted Douglas MacAyeal, a geographic expert. not related to research.

"What experts need to be concerned about is whether that protection layer will be affected and worn down due to the impact of climate change in the next century."

At this point, Chaput agreed."The melting snow layer is currently the number one priority to consider, because it causes the ice shelf to become unstable."

In short, from this study, we have a really gloomy song, and it is caused by the gradual cracking of the largest continent of Antarctica. So according to Chaput, this is the time when similar studies need to be done, before things get worse.
