Inside Antarctica’s Catholic Ice Chapel, the World’s Southernmost Church
>>>My note: This is another wonderful example of why the Catholic(universal) Church is the true Church of Jesus Christ. To fulfill the mission of Christ as Christ intended, the Church has to be universal! Ask yourself, is your Church everywhere? Does it function in every time zone of the globe? Does it function on every continent, in every nation? Does it function in even every nook and cranny of your own nation or dare I ask, state?
See Mark 16:15. Preaching the good news, baptizing new Christians, offering proper worship to God, in every corner of the globe. That is the Catholic Church!
Praising God at the South Pole!
Antarctica is an amazing giant continent at the south pole of our globe. Braving winter temperatures of over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit below zero, a few thousand people live there at any given time. And because, like normal people, they have spiritual needs, there are a number of chapels at the various bases.
It just so happens that the southernmost chapel (of any religion) is a Catholic chapel at the Argentinian Belgrano II Base (still over 800 miles from the south pole). And it has a unique attribute: it is carved out of pure ice.
That’s right, it’s in a permanent ice cave.
