What are the reasons for the appearance of ghost islands on geographical maps?

During the time of the Great Geographical Discoveries, a large number of islands and reefs were mapped, the existence of which was subsequently not confirmed. The most famous example is Tabor Island, aka Maria Theresa Reef, which is supposedly located in the South Pacific Ocean. The heroes of Jules Verne's novels "Children of Captain Grant" and "The Mysterious Island" turn out to be on it, and the writer himself was sincerely convinced of the reality of the island. Already in the middle of the 20th century, his search was unsuccessful, but the reef continues to be depicted on some modern maps. There are several reasons for the appearance of ghost islands: sailors mistake icebergs, mirages, and floating formations of volcanic pumice for land, which can acquire vegetation and bird nests.

Drug recognition by fingerprints 22.04.2024

Identification of criminals and identification of traces of their criminal activities is a fundamental aspect of the work of law enforcement agencies. Forensic scientists are constantly developing new techniques to improve this process. Recent research has led to the creation of an innovative method for detecting drug use and exposure to explosives using fingerprints. Forensic scientists have developed a method that can detect human drug use and exposure to explosives using fingerprints. This approach opens up new possibilities in the field of forensic science, improving the ability of law enforcement agencies to detect and suppress crime. The researchers first created fingerprints using plastic gloves to avoid contact with hazardous substances. Then, with their gloves on, they picked up tablets of the sleeping pill zolpidem, which is popular among criminals. After applying prints to various surfaces ... >>
