๐ŸŒŠ SURF 'N TURF ๐Ÿ๏ธ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- image Jet engines have been used in surprising ways beyond aviation. image One famous example is Big Wind, a T-55 tank fitted with two MiG-21 jet engines that blasted water and hot exhaust to put out huge oil fires, including those burning in Kuwait after the Gulf War. image The engine power created a massive steam force strong enough to push back flames that normal equipment could not handle. image Jet engines were also used to melt ice and remove deep snow. Retired MiG-15 engines were mounted on trucks and rail vehicles, blowing away snow with extreme heat and strong thrust. image This method cleared frozen tracks and runways much faster than traditional plows. image Although they used a lot of fuel, these machines became legendary for their unmatched power and effectiveness in extreme conditions. image "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author โœ๏ธ/ Photographer๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ‡ ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ

Post #162: Southern Ocean ๐ŸŒŠ image ๐Ÿ‹ Deep in the Southern Ocean lies the most important whale feeding ground on Earth. In the waters between the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Orkney Islands, krill gather in immense swirling super colonies that fuel an entire ecosystem. image These tiny creatures sustain the giants of the ocean. Fin whales and humpback whales return here year after year because this is where they find the energy they need for migration, reproduction, and survival. ๐Ÿ’ซ It is an ancient route they have followed for thousands of years.๐Ÿ’ซ Krill populations in parts of this region may already have dropped by as much as 80% since the nineteen seventies due to industrial fishing. When krill decline, whales struggle. When whales struggle, the balance of the whole Antarctic ecosystem is shaken. โ„๏ธ This region is the heart of their feeding grounds and one of the most precious places on the planet. Protecting it is essential for life far beyond Antarctica. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒ Stay tuned to explore this vital ecosystem, understand why it faces growing pressure, and see why protecting krill means protecting every life that depends on them. image ๐Ÿ“ธ Youenn Kerdavid, Mika Van der Gun, Alice Bacou / Sea Shepherd #AntarcticaDefense #SeaShepherd "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author โœ๏ธ/ Photographer๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ‡ ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ #islands #scuba #marinelife
