When some researchers set out to explore the ice shifts in Antarctica they were pleasantly surprised to come across a glacier that gives off melodic sounds The Ross Eye Shelf as it was named appears to have a thing for giving off sounds and making music When winds blow across its dunes and crash against its surface this collision creates vibrations that produce continuous seismic tones This means that the shelf pretty much sings at all times However the sounds aren't audible to human ears scientists had to use seismic sensors to listen to them take a listen to its tunes Another interesting fact is that the sounds appear to change as the weather changes too so scientists now use the sounds as well as changes in the sounds to measure the eye shelf's stability and vulnerability to climatic conditions
