TravelSkydivers Jumped Out Of Plane, Formed A Floating Circle At 15,000ft(Pics) by Explorers(op):
This is the exhilarating moment fearless skydivers were seen plummeting head first towards the ground during a mid-air trickshot.

During the spectacular stunt, captured in Houston, Texas, the skydivers are seen jumping from a plane before holding hands and forming a large circle in the sky.

With the formation complete, more skydivers are seen taking the plunge and diving head first through the floating target.

@explorers I am interested in knowing the kind of anti icing and de-icing system those aircrafts that lands there uses. cos under those kind of situation, static vents and pitot tubes are going to get messed up, giving false indications to the corresponding indicators....

Not to mention fuel icing, landing gear, skidding, aqua planning. too many problems for an aircraft to land in that kind of environment. except they designed a special plane to land there.....
Don't know how they do that, but there are lots of airports, landing field/strips across the frozen continent.

“In spite of being in an inhospitable desert, Concordia is highly attractive to researchers from different fields such as astronomy and human physiology”


“We are using it to study human adaptation to what is very similar to future conditions of a Moon or Mars base”


“Also, thanks to a project conducted here, we now know that greenhouse gas levels have never been so high in atleast the past 800,000 years”

Frozen nuttelart and bread.


“We run out of fresh food early in the winter (as we have no resupply from early February to early November), so we eat mostly frozen food”

Of course, it was just a game, but the gravity-defying pictures vividly illustrate the absolute intensity of the cold down there in Antarctica.

Just for fun, Cyprien decided to go outside and have a go at ‘cooking,’ taking photos of different kinds of foods in the deep freeze.

TravelThis Is What Happens When You Cook In Antarctica At -70°C (Photos) by Explorers(op):
At 14,000,000 square kilometres (5,400,000 square miles), Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent.

For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia.

About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km (1.2 mi; 6,200 ft) in thickness.





Cyprien Verseux is a glaciologist and astrobiologist, currently working on the most remote scientific base in the world, Concordia Station in Antarctica.

Even the International Space Station, 400km above the Earth, is closer to civilization than this place, deep in the icy wastes of our most isolated and inhospitable continent.

When not busy collecting samples and doing research, Cyprien keeps a blog to share his experience of living in this extreme environment.


The lack of oxygen and barren, desert landscape make the scientists feel like they are living on another planet.

“It is the coldest area on Earth, with temperatures reaching below -80°C in winter,” he explained.



'Sometimes, we go three months without sun'


“We are currently 13 people. Technicians, scientists, a cook and a medical doctor”

Of all the "noise" making on here, y'all failed to observe something rather peculiar.

Melanie trump, while meeting with these key people had no body guards scattered around her.

Africans must always emphasize modern slavery angry

Shioor
There are bodyguards/secret service everywhere, just that they carry out their duty in a civilized/advanced way.

Some will land at every of her destination, sweep it and secure perimeter days before her arrival.

There will be no breach. Check the third post, the last picture, those guys in jacket and black shade.

Melania continues solo tour of Africa with visit to slave-trading castle in Ghana and walks through infamous 'Door of No Return' where thousands of slaves passed before being shipped overseas.




It was originally built by Dutch and Swedish tradesman but was captured by the British in 1664.

Cape Coast Castle is one of the largest forts which was used to facilitate the Atlantic Slave Trade of the 16th and 17th Century.

The site was first used to trade from but became a housing facility for enslaved Africans in the 1700s and 1800s after the dawn of the Atlantic slave trade.

Thousands of children have been told to stay at home today after a council closed four schools because they were invaded by Britain's deadliest spiders.

Newham Council in east London has evacuated two primaries and two secondary schools to treat the invasion of False Widow Spiders 'immediately, before the eggs start hatching'.


False Widow Spiders, the UK's most poisonous arachnid, are dark-coloured with globular bodies and range from 9.5 to 14 mm in size.

Op, seems you were carrying the same table from country to country to snap their food. Why thread based on falsehood.
Went to schools in Lekki, got what they're giving thier kids for launch.

Went to Ikeja, VGC, Banana Island, Maitama did the same thing.

Then came home, prepared all the meals i documented from each school and took the shots.

Go back to the first post maybe you will get it if you read again and again.
