Na kra\u0144cu \u015bwiata ogromna g\u00f3ra lodowa w kszta\u0142cie butelki grozi zniszczeniem wszystkiego, co stanie jej na drodze. A sonda kosmiczna Envisat nale\u017c\u0105ca do ESA bacznie obserwuje ka\u017cdy jej ruch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ka\u017cdego lata od zimnego po\u0142udniowego kontynentu Antarktydy od\u0142amuj\u0105 si\u0119 ogromne bry\u0142y p\u0142ywaj\u0105cego lodu. Jednak w marcu 2000 roku mia\u0142o miejsce niezwyk\u0142e wydarzenie, gdy od szelfu lodowego Rossa od\u0142ama\u0142a si\u0119 bry\u0142a wielko\u015bci Jamajki.<\/p>\n

W ci\u0105gu nast\u0119pnych kilku lat najwi\u0119ksza znana na \u015bwiecie g\u00f3ra lodowa rozpad\u0142a si\u0119 na wiele kawa\u0142k\u00f3w. Najwi\u0119kszy z nich, znany jako B-15A, ostatecznie dotar\u0142 do Cie\u015bniny McMurdo, gdzie zablokowa\u0142 pr\u0105dy oceaniczne i spowodowa\u0142 nagromadzenie si\u0119 lodu morskiego.<\/p>\n

Stworzy\u0142o to problem dla statk\u00f3w zaopatrzeniowych pr\u00f3buj\u0105cych dotrze\u0107 do baz naukowych. Oznacza\u0142o to r\u00f3wnie\u017c, \u017ce dodatkowa warstwa lodu morskiego odci\u0119\u0142a pingwiny od ich zwyk\u0142ych teren\u00f3w \u017cerowania.<\/p>\n

W ostatnich tygodniach B-15A stopniowo zbli\u017ca\u0142 si\u0119 do d\u0142ugiego j\u0119zyka lodu wystaj\u0105cego w morze. Na pocz\u0105tku stycznia odleg\u0142o\u015b\u0107 ta zmniejszy\u0142a si\u0119 do mniej ni\u017c 4 km.<\/p>\n

Naukowcy spodziewali si\u0119, \u017ce dojdzie do zderzenia gigant\u00f3w, gdy B-15A uderzy\u0142 w unosz\u0105cy si\u0119 na wodzie j\u0119zyk lodowy Drygalskiego. Tymczasem g\u00f3ra lodowa wydawa\u0142a si\u0119 zatrzyma\u0107 w miejscu, a nawet nieznacznie zmieni\u0107 kierunek ruchu.<\/p>\n

Wygl\u0105da na to, \u017ce statek B-15A m\u00f3g\u0142 osiad\u0142 na dnie p\u0142ytkiego morza. Czy wp\u0142yw wiatru, p\u0142yw\u00f3w i topnienia dna pozwoli mu w ko\u0144cu unie\u015b\u0107 si\u0119 na wod\u0119?<\/p>\n

Cokolwiek by si\u0119 nie sta\u0142o, radar Envisata b\u0119dzie \u2018widzia\u0142\u2019 przez chmury nad Antarktyk\u0105, zapewniaj\u0105c naukowcom miejsce w pierwszym rz\u0119dzie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
