Giant Spiders of Antarctica

from Monster Fuzz · host SpectreVision Radio

In February 2021 a strange image appeared in Google Earth. What looked like a multi legged, sizeable organism was seen walking along the polar caps of antarctica.Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest of the continents, and it has the highest average elevation. It is mainly a polar desert, with annual precipitation of over 8 in along the coast and far less inland. About 70% of the world's freshwater reserves are frozen in Antarctica, which, if melted, would raise global sea levels by almost 60 metres. Antarctica holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on Earth, −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). The coastal regions can reach temperatures over 10 °C (50 °F) in the summer. Native species of animals include mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades. Where vegetation occurs, it is mostly in the form of lichen or moss. But could it be possible that this hostile environment could harbour giant invertebrates?
