Does a woofer have to sit on the floor or can it be on a shelf?

You would probably be better off with it sitting on the floor, as it could possibly vibrate during heavy periods of bass sound if placed on a shelf. If you wanted to place it on a shelf, you could always reduce the bass output, but in my opinion, this would negate the reason for having a sub-woofer in the first place, and could lead to the system sounding rather tinny.


Why did the Mount Erebus disaster happen?

The cause of the crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 ("the Mount Erebus disaster") is not fully agreed on. The most widely accepted cause is this: When Air New Zealand flights to Antarctica started in 1977, a flight path was set up for the DC-10 aircraft. The original plan had the path going over Mount Erebus from Cape Hallett to McMurdo Station, but this was just a guideline - pilots still had control over the plane and flew it to the west down McMurdo Sound. In 1978 when Air New Zealand fed all its coordinates into a new ground computer, a typing error was made in the location of McMurdo Station, resulting in the route moving west and making the plane go down McMurdo Sound by default. Air New Zealand realised its mistake in mid-November 1979, and early on the morning of 28 November 1979 (the day of the crash) fixed the route to go to McMurdo Station over Mount Erebus. However, the pilots of Flight 901 were trained on the old route down McMurdo Sound and were not told of the changes. The pilots thought they were going down McMurdo Sound - the DC-10's corrected coordinates took them straight towards Mount Erebus. Of course it would of been obvious they were heading towards a mountain - but due to unique Antarctic conditions, a sector whiteout occurred which blended the mountain into the sky, making it indistinguishable to the untrained eye. Both the pilots and McMurdo station thought the plane was going down McMurdo Sound and McMurdo allowed the plane down to 1500ft to allow the passengers a better view. Mount Erebus was just under 13,000ft high - so naturally the plane was going to crash into it. At 12:49pm local time, the Ground Proximity Warning System sounded that they were getting to close to terrain. Captain Jim Collins, not knowing that he was heading towards the mountain, immediately requested go-around power to climb up, but it was too late. Six seconds after the GPWS sounded, the DC-10 crashed into the slopes of Mount Erebus, instantly killing all 257 people on board. You can read more, below.


Where would you leave from to get to Antarctica?

There are several 'end points' to commercial travel from which one departs in order to reach the Antarctic continent.By ship: many commercial tour vessels sail near the Antarctic continent, primarily through waters next to the Antarctic Peninsula, and occasionally through the McMurdo Sound to the US station at McMurdo, AntarcticaBy air: commercial airlines fly as close as Christchurch, New Zealand and Punta Arenas, ChileFrom these locations, an air traveler would require private travel service to the Antarctic continent.

How would you get to mcmurdo antarctica?

Unless you are a tourist on a ship with a scheduled stop at McMurdo, your only ticket there is a job. Once your employment is secure, and you have passed rigorous physical and mental exams, your departure to the ice begins at your orientation site, say Denver, Colorado, and you fly through Los Angeles, Honolulu, Auckland, New Zealand and lay over in Christchurch, New Zealand. There you are outfitted with extreme cold weather gear and you board a US military aircraft to fly the remaining 4,000 KMs to McMurdo.


Would you keep your books on a continental shelf?
