Antarctic ice melt is a significant aspect of climate change that contributes to sea level rise and impacts regional and global climate patterns. The Antarctic Ice Sheet and ice shelves (floating on the ocean) are losing mass through a combination of ocean and atmospheric warming. When relatively warm ocean currents move under ice shelves, the ice melts from below. At the same time, warming air temperatures can increase surface melt, which can cause cracks to form and accelerate collapse. Simula

Amidst the sweltering heat and thick vegetation of sixteenth-century Florida, Hernando de Soto, a Spanish explorer and conquistador, embarked on a notorious expedition. His mission was not just to explore but also to subjugate the native populations to Spanish rule. A disturbing yet less talked about aspect of his journey was the use of trained bloodhounds.
