The Secret of the Dramatic Sound heard in the remotest place on earth – Kabnews.id

Loud noises that came from the bottom of the ocean and can be heard in the most remote places on Earth have left experts in shock. This sound has been recorded as the loudest sound ever recorded from the depths of the sea.

This strange sound phenomenon comes from Point Nemo, a place in the South Pacific known as the most remote place on Earth. This place is located about 2,689 kilometers from the nearest land.

This distance of 2,689 kilometers is considered very remote from the Earth’s surface. Interestingly, when the International Space Station passed this point at an altitude of 400 kilometers, the astronauts felt that it was closer than they thought.

Because it is very remote and rarely visited by ships, this area is often used as a dumping ground for the wreckage of spaceships and satellites that are no longer in use.

In 1997, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States succeeded in recording very low frequency sounds coming from Point Nemo. This sound was detected by a network of hydrophones spread across the Pacific Ocean, even as far as 4,800 kilometers. Due to its unique sound characteristics, this sound was named ‘The Bloop’.

At first, experts suspected that the sound came from a large sea creature. Chris Fox, an oceanographer from NOAA, raised this possibility in an interview with CNN.

“There are many things that make noise under the sea, such as whales, dolphins, fish, and also the roar of the Earth,” he explained.

However, because the volume of the sound was so great, many believed that the sound did not come from a living creature. Another hypothesis put forward by Fox was proved correct in the end.

“I suspect this noise is related to the ice calving phenomenon (breakup). This noise always comes from the south, so it seems to be coming from the ice pack off the coast of Antarctica. “If true, this noise is really loud,” Fox said.

According to Indy100, although much of the mystery of the origin of this sound has been solved, ‘The Bloop’ remains one of the most interesting underwater phenomena ever recorded.
