CONHEÇA A HEARD ISLAND
Como já lhes disse, eu uso no Chrome uma extensão que já me permitiu grandes descobertas. Ela se chama “Earth View from Google Earth” <https://goo.gl/yB3xw8>. Cada vez que abro uma nova aba no Chrome, essa extensão me mostra uma imagem do Google Earth de um local especialmente lindo visto de cima em nosso planeta.
Hoje aconteceu de eu abrir uma aba e me aparecer esta foto de uma ilha vulcânica australiana no Pacífico Sul da qual nunca tinha ouvido falar:

Esta tela me levou à ilha no Google Earth: https://goo.gl/YYMBKJ (imagem abaixo)
Pesquisando um pouco encontrei estes vídeos sobre a poco falada ilha:
• “Climbing Big Ben” — Meet the Mawson Peak men: Stunning colour footage of 1964 expedition to Mawson Peak on Heard Island. (6’09”)
• “VK0IR Heard Island Antarctica Expedition 1997”: One of the most successful radio amateur-led expeditions: The VK0IR Heard Island (Antarctica) DXpedition. (51’25”)
• “Australian scientists journey to Heard Island, 1949”: Newsreel entitled Scientists Go to Antarctica to Study Weather, from the Australian Diary documentary series. This black-and-white newsreel segment shows a team of scientists making their way to Heard Island in 1949 to relieve the previous year’s team. The segment, entitled Scientists Go to Antarctica to Study Weather, opens with HMAS Labuan leaving Melbourne, followed by scenes of the voyage. As they near shore, Big Ben volcano comes into view. Stores for the team’s 12-month stay are then brought on shore. After a sequence showing local fauna, humorously described by the commentator, the segment ends with the outgoing team briefing their replacements.
