Although cargo and military jets have been using the runway for years, this is the first commercial aircraft to do so. The flight was 'undertaken to prove the feasibility of landing commercial passenger airliners at on Glacier. 14 Likes 1 Share

Despite the extreme temperatures, there are 1150 different species of fungi identified to survive in Antarctica. Fungi perfectly adapts to extreme low temperatures, continuous and repeated freeze and thawing cycles. Antarctica (technically) contains every time zone on the planet. All longitude lines we use to define time zones meet at the two poles. Antarctica was completely unknown until the continent was first spotted in 1820. 1) Their budget was not able to afford full time physicians in their bases. 2) No countries' budget can afford a full time dentist down there and dental problems which are considered avoidable in the first place and hence minor.

LastMumu: Relax bros... I believe she meant 'The mystery of God's kingdom, no one can know it all' True, the whites are breaking new grounds everyday, but that's exactly how 'new' grounds will be broken till the end of time. The problem of Africa is multi-faceted though, from mental slavery to culture to religion to laziness. That's a talk for another time though, but don't slam it all on religion/belief. 50 Likes 3 Shares |
