A massive 500-billion-barrel oil deposit has just been discovered in Antarctica.
5–7 minutes
The Antarctic continent has long been viewed as a pristine wilderness, protected by international treaties and largely untouched by commercial exploitation. However, recent reports of a massive oil discovery beneath its icy surface have sent shockwaves through global energy markets and environmental communities alike
The Wilkes Land crater is a hole in the bedrock beneath East Antarctica's ice sheet measuring 315 miles (510 kilometers) across. Researchers have been trying to explain its existence since the 1960s. Finally, it looks like they have their answer. @LiveScience explains:
Biosecurity policies are used to keep out pest species and diseases. But they’re expensive to uphold and people can question their worth.
The good news is, they work – and #Antarctica's strict biosecurity policies prove it.

Wilkes Land crater: The giant hole in East Antarctica's gravitational field likely caused by a meteorite
Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across.
With a little more than 2 months to go to the winter solstice in #Antarctica, sea ice is generally recovering fairly well from a near record minimum earlier this year. Not in the Bellingshausen Sea though (centre left in first graphic here, from NSIDC, and lower left in second graphic, from University of Bremen Institute of Environmental Physics). There hardly any new ice has formed yet.
