ANTARCTICA IS IN THE NEWS : DIAMONDS and PRINCE HARRY
The other day I was listening to a talk radio show and I heard that we are suffering from Global Warming but that a new Ice Age may be coming fast. I read about Prince Harry and a team of veterans who've experienced disabilities making it to the South Pole. I read about scientists continuing to look for evidence of ancient life forms - maybe microbes - beneath thick sheets of ice and about the breaking of ice into floating mountains the size of whole states.
What is happening with Antarctica?
The possible discover of DIAMONDS could send explorers of a different kind to that continent.
FOX NEWS : SPARKLING DISCOVERY
The news is that a mineral rock called kimberlites has been detected.

CRABS WALKS 5.5 MILES ACROSS ISLAND TO BREED IN OCEAN
YAHOO TRAVEL : CRABS WALK ACROSS CHRISTMAS ISLAND
But it's still a hazardous route, and there will be the inevitable road kill during the difficult five-day journey. At points during the month-long movement, the roving creatures cover the area with a crimson tide of claws.
The males are the advance team at the beach. They dig burrows for the females, who arrive five to seven days later. After breeding, the females stay in the burrows for another two weeks or so, laying eggs and waiting for them to develop, Australian Geographic explains.
