'Unprecedented,' 'Gobsmacked', 'Unbelievable': Changes in Antarctica's sea ice could have dramatic impacts, says climate scientist Edward Doddridge
In 1898, the crew of the first scientific expedition to Antarctica became trapped inside sea ice around the southernmost continent.

Hope you have a great flight on the 27th to DownUnder.
Don't forget your laptop to keep up your great OW work on the (probably boring) flight.

This place is a model engineers (and kids) heaven. All worlds are run by computer code and some by AI.
The car race is fully controlled by AI (no humans) Check out the specs mentioned in the video
Enjoy the labour of the model makers and coders.
