Mysterious Material in North Pole Reveal

A mysterious orange-colored material appeared on Earth's north pole. Scientists can not yet provide definitive answers to explain the material.

Material is swept away in waves along the Arctic coast in Kivalina, Alaska and flooded the village of Inupiat, Eskimo. There, the sun dries the material and pass wind like dust. When found several kilometers in the freshwater river Wulik, orange material that turns into clay and sticky and smell like gas.

Curiously, when taken from the sea, the substance that has no odor and the 'very soft. "Shaped like baby oil," said Janet Mitchell, a city official Kivalina.

After high waves swept away the orange material, the local community realized that the material might be too toxic. Because the number of small fish died after the material was present on the beach. However, scientists have not been able to ensure that.

Samples of material sent to NOAA's Auke Bay Laboratories Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Juneau to be identified. Under the microscope, it appears that shaped cellular structures such as beads, hinted that the orange material was a series of fish eggs.

However, marine biologists do not consider the small fish that died is the holding eggs. "We have determined that this is a small invertebrate animal eggs, though we can not say for certain species," said Jeep Rice, a chief scientist at the NOAA lab Juneau.

"We currently estimate that the orange material is a kind of animal eggs or embryos of small water crustaceans. Droplets of fat-soluble molecules in the middle that led to the emergence of an orange," he said.

Kivalina Village and the NOAA lab in Juneau is now waiting to hear from other laboratories in South Carolina who specializes in the growth of phytoplankton to learn the identity of the parent of the eggs that invaded it. "We are very impatient to know," said Julie Speegle, a spokesman for the lab Juneau.
