        The wealthy are trying to get at a “hidden advanced alien tech continent” under the ice. Which sounds crazy, but look at all the idiots around you. Then think about how musk and trump talk and how dumb they are. The wealthy are idiots being grifted too.

    the region was important for krill – a critical part of the food web for species in the region. Krill would usually be hiding from predators under the ice in winter, where they graze on algae.

    Yeah, that sounds bad
