About

What this is

simpleantarctica is a simple, focused feed about the coldest continent. Once a week, an automated scan searches the open web for the most interesting news, essays, and reports about Antarctica and organizes them into four themes.

Half of the site is the ordinary reporting — climate research, wildlife studies, dispatches from research stations. The other half is the strange half: unexplained satellite findings, lost-civilization theories, the Piri Reis map, and everything else people won't stop wondering about.

We also keep a curated bookshelf — from Shackleton's own account of the Endurance expedition to Hapgood's controversial Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings.

Articles are automatically discovered and summarized from public web sources; all links open on their original publisher.
