Live from below the Antarctic ice

Recommended Posts

Providing an acoustic live stream of the Antarctic underwater soundscape is a formidable challange. After all, more than 15000 km lie between Antarctica and our institute in Germany. Underwater sound is recorded by means of two hydrophones by PALAOA, an autonomous, wind and solar powered observatory located on the Ekström ice shelf (Boebel et al., 2006). The data stream is transmitted via wireless LAN from PALAOA to the German Neumayer Base. From there, a permanent satellite link transmits the data to the AWI in Germany.

i've only listened to this for about a minute and have already heard some extremely creepy sounds. this would be perfect to sample from, or use as field recordings, or whatever

i recorded about a minute of these strange noises...is it some kind of animal or whale or something? you have to increase the volume a lot in order to hear it clearly

 

i'm really glad this stream exists, i think i'm going to fall asleep tonight listening to it...i'll report back if it causes nightmares

this is my plan tonight as well, though i am concerned by the warning saying one should be prepared for sudden and extremely loud noise...which would not be helpful
