What&#8217;s so special about this island? Well, it&#8217;s one of the very few spots on Earth where ships can sail right into an active volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>The island itself is shaped like a horseshoe and surrounds a harbor called Port Foster, which is basically a flooded volcanic crater. In NASA&#8217;s caption, they described the image as showing an island with rocky, mountainous terrain, some snow-covered peaks, and a big opening at the bottom where ships can sail into the harbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>The image was captured by NASA&#8217;s Landsat 8 satellite in March 2018, showing the volcano&#8217;s top. Deception Island is one of only two active volcanoes in Antarctica and has erupted more than 20 times since the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Despite its remoteness, Deception Island is a major tourist attraction in Antarctica, drawing over 15,000 visitors annually. Tourists can enjoy the beach, relax in geothermal baths, and go on treks because it&#8217;s not completely covered in ice. Plus, they get to see one of the world&#8217;s largest groups of chinstrap penguins on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>This unique place has seen its share of claims by different countries, but it&#8217;s now governed by the Antarctic Treaty System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Deception Island has a rich history, having served as a whaling and seal-hunting station from 1906 to 1931 and as a British military base during World War II. It&#8217;s also home to scientific research stations, although some have been affected by past volcanic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/science\/enter-if-you-dare-nasa-shares-stunning-satellite-image-of-deception-island-4465325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unique Volcano Island in Antarctica Welcomes Visitors NASA, known for its stunning images of space,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","portfolio-category":[452,426,488],"class_list":["post-12694","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio-category-452","portfolio-category-newsfeed","portfolio-category-november-2023"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
