As Antarctica's Ice Melts, Time To Prevent Global Destruction Is Running Out

Description

Scientists have been worried for years about the melting ice sheets of Antarctica at Earth's southern pole. Researchers ran simulations to predict how the Thwaites Glacier could degrade over the next 50 to 800 years. According to CNN, the results showed the glacier was more in danger of becoming unstable that previously thought. An unstable ice sheet is a frozen, ticking time bomb. Once this instability is triggered it's hard, if not impossible, to stop.

    The Super SUV Lamborghini Urus’ high-speed record set on the ice of Russia’s Lake Baikal during the Days of Speed in March 2021 has been formally registered by the RAF (Russian Automobile Federation), a member of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile). Russian driver Andrey Leontyev, 18-time record holder of Days of Speed on Baikal Ice, shares his experience of setting the record. Reaching a top speed of 298 km/h and an average speed from a standing start of 114 km/h across the 1000-meter distance, the Lamborghini Urus demonstrated exceptional performance and extraordinary handling despite reduced traction due to the ice’s slippery conditions and strong gusts of wind.Andrey Leontyev, Moscow-born and bred, has always had a visceral passion for engines and cars, from disassembling them during his childhood, to reporting on them during his journalism career and driving them during his truck racing years. But his goal and all-time dream was to drive the world’s fastest cars and set records in extreme conditions.
