A “mysterious island” appears in the North Pole and is still moving. What is the situation?

And over the years, the Earth’s Antarctic and Antarctic glaciers have melted at an incredible rate. No, in the Arctic region, after the disappearance of the glaciers, a “mysterious island” appeared. As a result, many people were puzzled. What is the situation?

 

And when the “mysterious island” of the North Pole appeared, it was named. What is the situation? Let’s go step by step.

Global warming, ‘mysterious islands’ appear in the Arctic
Global warming is a fact, and in the 2022 report, we once again see that warming is more aggressive than in previous years.

 

According to the data, in 2021, the global annual average temperature will be 1.1℃ higher than that before industrialization. fact. Therefore, the climate chain effect caused by warming is even more crazy on a global scale.

Everyone should know that the first critical point for our human beings to change the earth is 1.5 degrees under the “Paris Agreement”. Even if it is maximized control, it must be within 2 degrees.

 

However, judging from climate trends, the “first tipping point” for humans to exceed 1.5 degrees may already be fast. Because greenhouse gas emissions are still hitting new highs. In 2021, global human activities will emit a total of 36.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide, the highest level in history. Including all greenhouse gases (methane, nitrous oxide, etc.), the emissions amount to 40.8 billion tons.

Therefore, the problem of warming cannot be solved at all, and the continuous increase of human’s emission of greenhouse gases will only increase the climate effect of the earth.

 

And, for the climate in the Arctic, it’s also warming more than we think, with the journal Geophysical Research Letters 2022 making it clear that over the past 50 years, the Arctic Amplification Index has been around 1986 and 1999. There were two sharp rises. And it’s more than four times the rate of global warming.

Therefore, the impact of Arctic warming is bound to increase. No, after the glacier melted, an expedition team discovered a “mysterious island” near the northern coast of Greenland in 2021, which was previously unknown, and found that the team still had gravel blocks on it, so called islands.

 

It was eventually named “Qeqertaq Avannarleq” – the Greenlandic word for “northmost island”. However, the island has long been a mystery. In 2022, the targeted investigation finally made new discoveries.

The island is moving, what exactly is going on here?
According to the survey data, the size of the entire “mysterious island” is about 80 x 30 meters, and the rising sea area is about 2 meters – that is, the height of the surface is about 2 meters.

 

We can also see from the published pictures that it is indeed not small. By using GPS mapping and lidar (or laser) mapping and bathymetry, the scientific team gave a specific data that the “mysterious island” is a water depth area within a range of 25-45 meters, which is located on the seabed.

In the United States, there are still rocks on it. However, the stones are all disconnected, not a pattern of stones across the island. At the same time, through observation, the island is still moving. And after this investigation, the scientific team unexpectedly discovered that there is more than one such island in the Arctic region, and there are countless. Is this an island?

 

In fact, it is not. After investigation, it was found that the “mysterious island” named this time turned out to be a “joke”. It was an “Iceland” because after the global warming, the large-scale melting of glaciers caused the formation of There are small ice areas, and some “rocks” can be found on these Iceland, which are actually from the fusion of rocks and glaciers pushed up by sea ice, so they are similar to “ice islands”

However, this “island” does not actually have a fixed point on the surface, but floats on the sea. Just like we said pure ice cubes.

 

So, it moves with the flow of water and disappears. Mainly the ice cubes are going to melt and that’s why. So, new survey data suggest that the planet’s northernmost “islands” may just be icebergs, and that several other small islands have been discovered over the decades and then disappeared. The island, named “Qeqertaq Avannarleq”, will also disappear.

So, in this way, it is just a “joke” without a detailed investigation. So, this is not a real island at all, but an “island” of ice and rock.

 

Summarize
As Earth’s climate changes, we may see more of this in the Arctic Circle in the future. Because of the warming of the earth, large-scale glaciers are melting and breaking.

However, the massive melting of glaciers is not a good thing for us humans. Because the melting of large-scale glaciers will cause the earth’s sea level to rise, which will have a changing effect on the global coastline. At the same time, low-lying areas or extraterrestrial island areas may be submerged due to rising sea levels.

 

And, with rising sea levels, rising sea temperatures, etc., there may be more areas inundated, and the impact of causing storm surges will also be greater.

Therefore, the impact of climate change on the world is always there. Many people may see that it is only the melting of small glaciers, and it will not have such a strong effect at all. That is completely wrong, all climate change has a “chain effect” factor. Just like climate change in 2022, many people should also see it.

 

After the extreme heat in many countries around the world, there was also an extremely strong drought. Although you say that its root is explained by the influence of global warming, is there only one effect of global warming?

It is clear that high temperatures, droughts, melting glaciers, strong storms, etc., are all effects of climate change. Therefore, don’t underestimate the influence of a small glacier, and under climate change, the melting of glaciers is not only a little bit. The glaciers in the north and south poles, plateau glaciers, etc. are all melting on a large scale, then the whole earth melts together, which will inevitably affect even bigger.

 

This is why for so many years, since the era of industrialization, when the earth has been warming significantly, the scientific community has been calling for human beings to maintain the earth’s climate, because its impact is really too much, including us humans. With such advanced technology, it is difficult to avoid the impact of natural disasters on human beings.

Because man and nature really cannot be “confronted”, otherwise, every time a disaster occurs, people will not be injured or killed. So, this is a fact, not an alarmist
