Strangely moving Antarctic lakes surprise researchers

Phenomenon compared to the gooey movement of chocolate syrup

Sounds like these lakes could be a threat to the US! Better alert Homeland Security!

    Sounds like they could be a threat to the deniers' religion...

    when ice shelves weaken or collapse, they allow glaciers to slide into the ocean more quickly, which, in turn, raises global sea levels.

    Good thing that sea levels have dropped in recent years.

    Any chance that magma movement could contribute? We know that lakes at Yellowstone are shifting due to magma displacement. We know that there are deep sea vents around Antarctica and volcanoes both on Antarctica and under the sea. If the ground is moving that will make the ice and the lakes on top move also.

      If you deny global warming is for real, you probably also still think smoking is good for you.

      These "lakes" are a clear sign of things to come. There is absolutely nothing can be done to alter or reverse

      global warming. Whatever comes from the UN, they don't rule by devine right. The UN especially cannot do anything about global warming. All they can do is set up a one-world government that is the most corrupt that has ever been. Global warming is a precursor of Tribulation Judgement. Any opther claims that global warming can be altered, do not believe it!

        I can only laugh at you bastards that think you know everything and feel so compelled to share it here. Global warming doesn't matter. What matters is that we have finite resources, and either you don't care about them disappearing one day, or you do. You are on one side or the other...has nothing to do with government, politics or religion.

          The Earth seems to move on a vast scale, and over vast time frames. As familiar we are with the tides and the great Ocean currents and giant storms and their times scales, and as long as it has taken to accept that whole continents collide with whole Ocean bottoms vanishing, we should have developed vast respect for the life that has changed, thrived and survived on the surface of the world. The movement of ice from glaciers, ice sheets and even from other planet’s moons seems a positive if unworldly. A reminder of slow motion we can see in such detail even to recognize that could have shaped formations now too distorted to recognize. Yes we do have a chance to see changes that were made by the interaction of ice and land. New England has formations that were been deposited by ice, with distortions marking where frozen deposits interacted with icy flow, Those parts of New England came via Africa when Africa as near the South Pole showing season all events.

          God grant us the wisdom to learn with what we can see and can measure. Were we to learn all that could be learned we will outgrow the need to meet God as evidence or proof, we will have done precisely what is expected. We already know that what we see as evidence today will with complete certainty be gone tomorrow, were that we have already made the connection long ago and it is now gone, could the mystery be too great for small minds?

            Well God is making chocolate syrup at the South Pole, and turning Antarctica into a big hot fudge sundae. And I want some!! Now!! Now, now, now, now, now!!
