An inexplicable mountain sits at the southernmost tip of this zone.

Recent smoking and quaking of the land has led scientists to believe, that this is in fact an active volcano.

Until now, the volcano has remained utterly lifeless. If it were to erupt, ash and dust would travel into the atmosphere completely obstructing the sun.

Its effects would be catastrophic. This region would become permanently frozen and other regions would be affected as well.

 

Could this be the beginning of a new Ice Age?

Did you know that in 1989, the Exxon-Valdez, an oil tanker was involved in a terrible wreck and lot of its oil was spilled in the waters of Alaska causing incredible damage to the environment and its animals?

 

The U.S. Congress responded quickly and began to clean the area and tried to save the animals. They were aided by environmentalist groups, such as Greenpeace, and managed to control the damage.
