Apprentice fans were left confused after a glaring spelling mistake made by one of the teams went unnoticed by contestants. The latest episode of the series saw the remaining contestants split into their two teams to create an educational video game.Team Infinity decided to make a prison-break game while team Diverse opted for a global warming-themed game. However, as team Diverse were creating their game, which saw Scientist Sam rescue animals from the Arctic and the Antarctic, the candidates made the grave error of naming their game ‘Artic Saviour’ - missing out the first ‘c’ in ‘arctic’.

The Apprentice viewers couldn't believe what they were witnessing on Thursday evening after Francesca Kennedy Wallbank made a huge spelling blunder which ultimately cost her the task.On the latest episode of the popular BBC show, the budding candidates were tasked with creating a video game that would hopefully entice their target market.Brittany Carter's team opted for a game that would hopefully appeal to those who are passionate about the environment and global warming.But things became fairly awkward when Francesca came up with the name "Artic Saviour" but spelt the word arctic wrong.Jumping onto Twitter fans were quick to react to the evident mishap.One viewer commented: "Arctic Polar bears dying of embarrassment."Another penned: "Artic Saviour would be a good name for a frozen food store than a game, I reckon this definitely gave the investors the chills."A third joked: "I work in transport planning. Often hear the artic/arctic debate when talking about HGVs.

artificial intelligence program suggests there may be many more to find, and provides useful clues on where to look for them.The dark-coloured space rocks tend to show up well on the white background of the frozen continent’s ice fields, and a natural phenomenon that pushes snow and ice out to the coast helps concentrate any meteors that have fallen in Antarctica’s interior into places where researchers can find them.Rocks that have fallen from space are more than just interesting curiosities – they provide valuable information about the evolution about the solar system.One object, believed to have been thrown off the surface of Mars millions of years ago, was found to contain "potentially life-giving organic material” which scientists say represents the conditions on the Red Planet’s surface in the distant past.The new AI-led study, entitled A Data-driven Approach in the Search for Antarctic Meteorites, offers a chance to find many more of these fascinating objects.“Meteorites sample planetary bodies that formed and evolved in the Solar System,” the researchers explain, and this material is directly accessible at the Earth’s surface.“This great scientific value is the reason why Antarctic meteorite collection missions have been performed (almost) every year since the concentrating mechanism has been discovered”."We found some unexplored areas with a great potential to find meteorites," study lead author Veronica Tollenaar, a glaciologist at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium, told Space.com."By visiting these locations and using new recovery techniques in the field, such as surveys with drones, we are about to enter a new era of Antarctic meteorite recovery missions," she added.So far, some 45,000 meteorites

Everybody Wants To Rule the World, partly because it transports me to the ’80s, partly because I’m amused by its new cultural resonance, but mainly because I danced like crazy to it a couple of years ago at the best New Year’s Eve party ever – on board a ship in Antarctica.Even my younger self would never have imagined something so off-grid and off the wall. And I don’t intend to make it my last flag in the snow.

Lorde went on a five-day trip to Antartica that ended up inspiring her third album, ‘Solar Power’, however she’s now revealed that she “probably shouldn’t have gone”.Speaking to Euphoria‘s Hunter Schafer on the A24 podcast, Lorde revealed that she’d been “totally obsessed” with Antartica throughout her childhood and that obsession grew as she “started to engage more with our planet”.“I felt like I needed to go there. I had this reaction, people call it ‘last chance tourism’ which is going somewhere before it’s too late and that was my first thought.”Despite calling the trip “the best five days of my life” and saying she’d “never do anything like it again, it was so crazy from start to finish,” Lorde revealed that “going there and actually having that experience made me realise, ‘oh no, you can’t go around doing this’.
