i'm the way they'll see in antarctica the site of an extraordinary bid to create the largest protected area on a. for this special episode of a thrice we're going on board the greenpeace icebreaker arctic sunrise following one of the biggest campaigns in the environmental movement is ations history witnessing the spectacular biodiversity and the many threats to life from climate change to a good fishing as

a team of scientists photographers and ocean experts set out to prove these vos remote waters must become an antarctic ocean sanctuary. before i set off down south i'm going to find out a little about the journey i'm about to embark on tucked away in this maze of old london streets something quite extraordinary. ever since i was a boy i've been mesmerized by tales of the golden age of antarctica exploration of the early twentieth said. names of polar explorers like roald amundsen and captain scott. well this is where some of those expeditions came to get them aps it was really because

of the low good to see this is a kind of treasure trove of past exploration to come out of that. turns out mankind has forever been hooked on the concept of a mysterious continent at the end of the world this from the fifteen eighties is the last of the classical worldview this is the world as it would have been understood by the ancient greeks and romans still got this great terrill stall it's called me to the unknown something land spin forward three centuries to the time of men like captain scott who died on his return from the south pole philip shows me a sledging map from that expedition is. this is what actually used to place the food death has for the attempt on the pole incredible here we have him reaching the south pole and then of course the terrible trick. back in scott time here just demonstrates how hot it was then just how challenging it was that

a far cry from today it was this period is known as the heroic age they were truly great heroes up until the one nine hundred twenty days there were probably less than should think fifty or sixty people had actually ever stepped into the cold loop. of course no thousands again every year. like many of the old explorers i first had for punta arenas in southern chile but unlike them i'll be flying into antarctica to king george island at the northern tip here all join the greenpeace ship the arctic sunrise and head into the weddell sea with luck will reach our target the sixty fourth parallel which marks the northern edge of the proposed station signed three an internationally supported marine reserve covering one point eight million square kilometers that would be

protected from direct human impact like fishing oil drilling and deep sea mining. how times have changed immediately it's clear how connected the outer reaches of the antarctic continent to become the plane is full of tourists. what was once a grueling journey of months maybe is now can be done in an hour and a half with lunch and if you. want to. be in the out. there for fun. it's a cold murky arrival i'm surprised at how many people there are around dozens are coming in going to hear you know king george island and downscale related business like that they don't. look so remote as more of transport a. you can see lots of tears. taking ribs out to inflatable boats

out to meet a cruise ship for the holidays i also hear a lot of research stations. both first play with interest to support often from the moves to the russian or such as. with the weather closing in we need to get a move on. over the next two weeks. thank you. write a. program. well we're underway immediately heading for the proposed ocean sanctuary is not a time to lose not just for the arctic sunrise winter is not far away and the ice will soon close in about its business or a race against time to protect areas like the way will see before it's too late

will maccallum it's a greenpeace campaign leader we're campaigning for will be the last world's largest protected area as an antarctic ocean sanction an area of the weddell say to be about five times the size of germany the proposal is already on the table it's already got the backing of the. scientists are saying we need to protect a third of the world's oceans at least every one to let fish stocks recover anyone to mitigate against the worst impacts of climate change and man thought is a great place to start. in october twenty eighth the thirty six governments responsible for the conservation of antarctic waters will consider the will see proposal the aim of the expedition is to build the case that this century needs to happen. the hours go by and the temperature drops significantly. on the bridge they're on high alert we're heading into dangerous waters tense times risky. but who is it. you have what they call birdie bits growlers and ice birds

depending on the size but they can all damage a ship when you're steaming at night the key thing about ice is avoiding it but now we're going to look for the ice and we will intentionally go into some of the ice and there is room down here now i think to push our way through a bit. all of us are here for the cause i mean we're not here for the money we can make a lot more money on another ship you'll see many passenger ships down here i'm sure paying a lot better but the money is one thing i give enough to get by but i'm here the same reason as the other people for the cause we all get along for some reason i think because we're here for the same purpose. or are. very. kind to cool climbs into the crow's nest transport leads through the ice. come through the ontology sound which i would buy sexy and talk to put into that were not on the web will see but not yet at the point at which they want to protect it but you get that

we've got to get through all this ice there's a lot of it around and we're finding these clear passages trying to wean you always through the ice. everyone on board is just willing the ship to make it into the proposed sanctuary the big problem is getting people to realize why they should care about the i'm talking to you know this is lot like that most people i've never come across will never come across and so being able to tell a story relies on us getting there are lots of us getting the footage back and tell talking about the importance of marine sanctuaries so the fact that they start to put out a recovery if we put these areas of limits the fact that climate change will be not as bad if we manage suppose large areas of the ocean often. dogma's falls but there is no rest on the bridge for the captain and the night crew there is an illusion there are.

flood lights on the bows show the ship now milage dumped quietly against the ice and intentional maneuver for the remainder of the night but everyone is keyed up flying off. the next day at last the arctic sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest most diverse waters there all the most all on board who may yet be the largest protected area on the planet we will one day good news very good news. made it made into this is for parallel sitting there now. there's someone other ship in this entire space and you just go over this side and recently saw getting sold tens of of ships both cruise liners cargo ships fishing vessels the moment you get through this sound as us another ship about there and that's it and i'll whole area that's slightly scary yet terrifying. but very exciting as well but exciting how to

just make the case that this is pristine this area is not developed his not called industry has never had industry sort of area that's kind of the most on touch even within and part of. our own are. going to. be next month i think is right around five grand a week. what we're looking at here is well to yes see i see great icebergs to be the glass is sweeping up james ross island that the weddell sea extends way to this proposed area already about just touched by human activity always scientific research is taking place it is an incredible sight but deeply troubling two classes have always collapsed and carved

into the antarctic ocean however with global warming they're doing so with increasing speed and as the ice sheets retreat sea levels rise. this right here is humanity's problem for decades perhaps centuries ahead. but here's a chance for greenpeace to tell the world what's going on from the very top of one of the icebergs the plan is to broadcast live from within the proposed trees own on greenpeace's facebook page via the ship's intermittent internet connection wants shifted in line of sight and we can get the connection up for the life be over. it's the same old story wherever you are in the world trying to get a connection. but then their life. while. i am rely on this is kind of incredible when they are streaming from the top of an iceberg in the antarctic ocean specifically in an area when all see that we're

campaigning to become an antarctic ocean sanctuary you can't help wondering what scots in the old explorers would have made of this broadcasting from a drifting iceberg in the middle of the great on. and so a day of scenic wonder ends with a magical show above and a rare site where the rays of the setting sun converge on the other side of the world kind of reverse sunset. and is just spellbinding. it is laundry day or not sunrise and here's the thing we all think of being good citizens by wearing fleeces which is made out of recycled plastic also bottles that's one thing but when you've lost it. hundreds of thousands of microfiber is

end up in the world's oceans so here in port it wouldn't and not for governments. and of course plastic pollution in our seas is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time and the team makes the most of a rare opportunity for research. these are some of the nicest losers on the planet to be appalling to do they could be blasting seriously greenpeace to conduct this experiment taking samples from the water to see if any micro plastics have infiltrated this environment. just simply into the sea surface. question five is the baby in prison so they're both taking something she fully trusted to. the. extent to. find that the this is very hopeful just the way it was she's

a very close joyous system and there's very few local sources of micro plastic fibers should be coming from however evidence is growing around the world from studies that point the plastic before this three because pretty soon they'll be found the right remote location. you know it's a bizarre thing be afloat on these wild remote and desolate war says feel quite exposed you could g.p.s. google map and zoomed out we could be a tiny speck in this and to draw from for life. yet beneath the surface of this magnificent desolation is just t.v. with life and these are some of the remotest pools on it. and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susan lockhart what she sees is a stunning underwater realm composed of all manner of life life not yet touched by

mankind but it's enormously at risk not least from the effects of industrial scale fishing it has one hundred percent coverage in the sea floor i've been isn't has a great three d. structure which allows other organisms to come in and if they're and a really interesting species composition and all these factors make it really difficult for a community to make up after a disturbance such as bottom fishing we call these areas fundable marine ecosystem and the estimated fourteen thousand species on the sea bed vulnerable not just to fishing but to other threats like warming sea temperatures and plastics pollution and that's why the expeditions pool round research so. in the bid to protect these waters all the scientific data will be compiled to form a body of evidence in support of the sanctuary proposal yeah. but the team needs to find out more about the growing threats encroaching on the

region we leave the lonely waters of the weddell sea heading back through the antarctic sound a day shaped by the routine on board. everyone has different ways of filling spare hours from the top practice to running repairs of course looking for old guys. to get what's cooking today but they do it their way and best of it is that when you know that somebody will know the customers that the same every day and we share that with them it is not everybody who has a few like this in their restaurant kitchen yeah pretty special that's why we are here. later we had for sure making landfall on the south set the night and the tip of the antarctic peninsula. it's quite a relief to be back on dry land off but it's been careening around all over the

place to be welcomed. by colin ephesus. penguin said territory with the seals one making the most of the comfortable feathers the melting juveniles. but here too evidence once again of how the world is closing in on i talked to cut the number of tourists twenty years ago it was around four to five thousand a year now it's more like thirty thousand. all like me desperate to see this wilderness while it's still here. yet despite myself i can't help the sense of unease and surprise about the. numbers. have been a bit saddened by the. great big cruise ship that here in pristina on top of the care and lines of terrorism. is dormant volcano which is ridiculous because it's

a free will. but it does just demonstrate the. new accessibility that there is here and the dangers in. these areas becoming tainted. by the footprints of humanity. next day was steaming down the west coast of the antarctic peninsula. we are going approximately sixty miles south of western area both pretty violent where we have seen roughly three fish we want to go and you. see there on. the vessels off from china ukraine and chile their fishing for krill a small shrimp like creature which the whole ecosystem depends there are a keystone of the ocean cycle the diet of plankton helping to transfer c o two to the depths of the ocean. but crim is being harvested on a growing scale the fish feed and you get three or ships nets are out and they're

in the thick of the krill swarm the krill obviously densely packed into this area up against the island is the base and just circling round and round to bring them out of the month and all the whales are feeding you see them blowing in whale tails disappearance flicker is showing as we go about. the krill companies say that tapping into a result that is sustainable that the view on board is that that is what they said about other species like the bison in north america called starts off new found and before both were decimated its essential areas such as weddell see are protected so i stopped kind of planning a proposal for this area. would put the area thirty kilometers offshore off limits to fishing industry so when so that's a solution you can continue to fish in the antarctic ocean but keep it outside of these areas currently being was a protected areas because the reason they've been proposed it's because i saw an

autumn for the ecosystem down here. later the greenpeace team and to feel like to visit mode as the vessels transfer their catch an opportunity for the campaign climate to make a point a port is attached to an anchor the campaign is could live inside for several days but the ship speeds up so the greenpeace team decides to pull out and call their crews back but the photos have been sent around the world. soon will begin the long journey home but this time to make another landing and the variety of species here on livingston island is just astounding. just like the folks at the. truly spectacular just a lot more diverse me having two species of penguin this time petrel that up from

the seals went all tilts has not been another landing with quite a variety when you look at this place from the ship that's really good and yet you're right here if you are. teeming with life and it's thriving right now and you can see all around us it's thriving who knows what it was like a hundred years ago thought it was doing even better but right now it's still compared to most other places on earth it's doing a lot better at the point of protecting it is to allow it to continue and that's why we haven't yet met this place up we have the opportunity to protect it. the question that the the dynamics of this place around how it's go changing you have the seal population expanding rapidly it was a penguin die off in the east last year ice is changing krill populations are under

threat there's tourism. i mean this is the last great wilderness one. we need to protect. it's time to head back and for five days we crossed the stormy seas of the drake passage to south america an opportunity to consider the wonder of what we've seen and the challenges that lie ahead and winning the protection of the precious ponds of aa planets where the elements make you feel insignificant. very vividly remember the bright spots it's six minutes away right now very moving along with her now going to tell me that this is quite mild compared to opening and only their landing further than the first i think is a little read by the thousands of birds sobbing tejpal and i know when they just

keep on rolling. finally we pass into the magellan strict or expedition eva and learn from his mate in chile. this is by no means over and we've got a long way until we see exactly what this one is achieved i can sort of list off the various things i'm proud that we've done you know we've got rare aerial footage of the little sea century area we've done dives in places where no humans have seen the most of the seabed that's one of the big things i think we're trying to is making this place it's. all and then we can bring that story back into people's living rooms and making the case in as public and as acceptable a way to really elevated debate to where needs to being.

sold building momentum towards getting to a place where it's easy and we don't have to launch these huge campaigns similar to persuade governments to push huge areas of the ocean off limits because just common sense we've made the case people have spoken out politicians have a mandate from me just go for a. winning sign tree status for pristine areas like the way they'll see it takes enormous international commitment but it's very evident from my time on board that the drive and the will exists to make it happen and that should give us optimism the places by the way will see the kind of surviving time of the protective gear that the sierra that determination that commitment to save the environment exists. for great will be all.
