I was watching "Deadliest Catch" on Discovery Channel and I was wondering why there are even ice floes in the Bering Sea and why the salt water freezes when it splashes onto the ship, if it isn't supposed to freeze.

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - A lake in southern Chile has mysteriously disappeared, prompting speculation the ground has simply opened up and swallowed it whole.

The lake was situated in the Magallanes region in Patagonia and was fed by water, mostly from melting glaciers.

It had a surface area of between 4 and 5 hectares (10-12 acres) -- about the size of 10 soccer pitches.

"In March we patrolled the area and everything was normal ... we went again in May and to our surprise we found the lake had completely disappeared," said Juan Jose Romero, regional director of Chile's National Forestry Corporation CONAF.

"The only things left were chunks of ice on the dry lake-bed and an enormous fissure," he told Reuters.

CONAF is investigating the disappearance.

One theory is that the area was hit by an earth tremor that opened a crack in the ground which acted like a drain.

Southern Chile has been shaken by thousands of minor earth tremors this year.

Hydrothermal chemosynthesis in this case is referring to Charles Robert Darwin's warm pond, or a concentration of the elementary particles, atoms, then into subsequent molecular cells.

If dinosaurs can turn into birds, then why can't humans do that too? This is just another hole in the thoery of evolution. So called scientists scramble for explanations, but they can offer nothing but sorry excuses. evolution can not stand up to the test of fact and reason.

We're at summers solstice, tilted towards the sun as much as we will be this year, and were also just a few weeks away from the furthest distance we'll be from the sun. Because the Southern hemisphere gets the least sun light while furtherst from the sun, it'd stand to reason the winters would be colder in Antartica than when the Northen hemisphere reaches solstice in the winter just a few weeks before perihelion.

Since the tropical calendar (solstice to solstice) which is what our calendar is based is 25 minutes slower than the anomalistic year (perihelion to perihelion), we have a 21,000 year cycle. It would make sense to have an ice age in the Northern Hemisphere in about 10,000 years (i.e. when we're furthest away from the sun and experiencing a winter solstice).

Is there evidence that the ice age occured in both hemispheres similtaneously?

Wouldn't the largest temp variances between summer and winter be when summer solstice is closest to the sun and winter furtherst?

One way to test the authenticity of a diamond is to submerge it in a specific oil, where it will 'disappear' because of the diamond's and oil's index of refraction.

Does anyone know the name of this oil used to test diamonds and/or it's chemical formula?

Thanks
