3:33 pm
the way to see it. besides an extraordinary bid, great. the law just protected area on this suspension, likely say to the twice we going on board the green piece icebreaker. optics, sunrise. following one of the biggest campaigns in the environment. move a nice ations history. witnessing the spectacular biodiversity and the many threats
3:34 pm
to life climate change to a refreshing. as a team of scientists, photographers and ocean experts sent out to prove these bonds, remote forces must become and i talked to ocean sentry the before i central of town. so i'm going to find out a little about the journey. i'm about to talk and talk to a is mays of old london streets. something quite extraordinary. ever since i was a boy, i'd be mesmerized by tales of the golden age of antarctic exploration of the early 20th century. names of who new explorer is like, role damage and, and captain scan the, well, this is where some of those expeditions came to get them. that's us, we,
3:35 pm
for the cause of the good to see this is a kind of treasure trove of parts exploration. turns out mankind has forever being on the concept of a mysterious continent at the end of the world. this map from the 50 natives is the last of the classical will view. this is the world, as it would be now understood by the ancient greeks and romans still go. this great peril stole his number on complete the and the southern land spinning forward 3 centuries to the time of man, like captain scott, who died on his return from the south pole. phillip shows me a sledging that from that expedition stronger. this is what they actually used to place the food that pose for the attempt on the co. incredible. so here we have been reaching the south pole. and then of course, the terrible trick back captain scott died here demonstrates how
3:36 pm
hard it was then just how the challenge it was that a far cry from today. it's boy, this period is known as the aerobic age. they were truly great to hear us up until the 1920s that were probably less than i should think. 50 or 60 people had actually ever stepped onto the cold slip. of course, now thousands of getting every year. the, like many of the old explorers i 1st had for printer arrangements in southern chile, but unlike then i'll be flying into and thoughts go to king george island at the northern chit. here on joining the green p. shit the optics, sunrise, and head into the weddell. sea, with luck, we'll reach out target the 60 full power though, which marks the northern edge of the proposed station sang 3, an internationally supported marine was
3:37 pm
a covering 1800000 square kilometers that would be protected from direct human impact like fishing, oil drilling and deep sea mining l times of change. immediately it's clear how connected the out to reach is 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 a few it's a cold, mucky arrival. i'm surprised at how many people there are around dozens of coming and going the know so remote is more of a trends we'll have. you can see lots of chairs down there taking ribs out to
3:38 pm
incredible sites out to meet the cruise ships for that holiday. i also had a lot of research stations with the weather closing, and we need to get a move on the home for the next 2 weeks. thank you. the a high stakes lower underway immediately heading for the proposed ocean, sang 3, there's no time to lose. look, just for the arctic sunrise, winter is not far away and the ice will soon close in about its been so a race against time to protect areas like the way we'll see before it's too late to mccallum. it's a green piece campaign lead. we're combining full, i will be the largest protected area. and on top of the cushion,
3:39 pm
sang chain in areas, the widow said it'd be about 5 times the size of gemini. the proposal is already on the table. it's already gone. the backing of the scientists are saying we need to protect a 3rd of the world's oceans, at least. and we want to let fish dogs recover. they want to mitigate against the west simplex to find an talk to. is it a great place to saw? it just knowing month's time and how you box australia, the decision will be made by the until it takes ocean commission, the international party responsible for the conservation of these waters on whether to accept the same truth proposal. the aim of the expedition is to build the case that it needs to happen. the hours go by and the temperature dropped significantly on the bridge. they're on high alert. we're heading into dangerous voices. tends times to skip a little ridiculous you have, but what they call bring you bet growler as an icebergs depending on the size, but they can all damage it ship when you're steaming at night, keeping a boat,
3:40 pm
isis avoiding it. but now we're going to look for the ice and we will intentionally go in to some of the ice and there is room down here. now i think to push our way through a bit comfortable, climbs into the cruise and transport leads through the ice. come through the i'm tossing sound, which kind of bice x and talk to friends with were not in the will see but no yes. at the for the we say what a perspective does it get? there we go to get through all this ice. there's a lot of it around there. we're finding these clear passages trying to we've all way through the ice. everyone on board is just willing the ship to make it into the proposed sine tree. the big problem is getting people to realize why they should care about them to take, you know, this is why i liked that. most people have never come across will never come across
3:41 pm
. and so being able to tell that story relies on us getting that are getting the footage back and tell me about the importance of the fact that pay stubs. what on the recovery we put these areas of limits assessment. climate change will be not as bad, and we managed to put large areas of the ocean on the darkness pools, but there is no rest on the bridge for the captain and the night crew. the flood lights on the bowels show the ship. now knowledge dumped quietly against the ice, an intentional maneuver for the remainder of the night. but everyone is keyed up the next day at last, the take sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest maced diverse waters
3:42 pm
there. uh it was going on board. may yet be the largest protected area on the planet. well, the good news, very good news made it, made it to the 6 foot carlo was sitting there. now. there's awesome one other ship and this entire space. and you just go over this side and be somebody. so getting so tens of, of ships but crews on is cargo ships fishing vessels. the moment you get through this sound as us the another ship about that. and that's it. and my whole the whole area that said slightly scary. yes there is like very exciting and exciting and kind of just makes the case that this is christine, this area is no develop is no go, industry is never had industry. so the area that's kind of the most i'm talk even within and talk to
3:43 pm
the front what we're looking at here is great ice topped off of glasses sweeping off change reassignment at the expense. ways with this area really about just talked about scientific research is taking place. it is an incredible science, but the, the troubling 2 classes have always collapsed and called into the until to go sion . however, with global warming that doing so with increasing speed. and as the sheets retreats, sea levels rise. this right here is humanities problem for decades, perhaps centuries,
3:44 pm
i had the sunrise, his we'll be good citizens by wearing places which it laid out to recycle plastic often. but when you wash that, hundreds of thousands of micro 5 is end up in the world visions. so here on board it's not from the cause. plastic pollution in all season is one of the biggest environmental challenges about time. and a team makes the most of a rare opportunity for such as the plan according to the success of taking song was to see if
3:45 pm
any market plastic has infiltrated has been waiting for somebody to the extent this is very remote, which is the way to sees a very close going system and it's very local sources that micro plastic fibers should be coming over destroyed around the world. some studies that micro plastic fibers, fox, 3 faces and they all be found even to this location is all seen via flights on these wild and remote in desolate was feel quite i suppose you took a gps, a google map and zoom job. we just get the highly speculative g voss. yet, beneath the surface of this, negative desolation is just tv with live. amazing,
3:46 pm
so the remote is and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susanne block caught what she sees is a standing under water ro propose of all manner of life. life not yet touched by mankind. box enormously at risk, not least from the effects of industrial scale fishing. it has a 100 percent coverage of the space or of the organism has a great 3 d structure which all the other organisms to come in and make this. and a really interesting space is composition and all the effective make it really difficult for a community to recover after the 7th, such as boredom, fishing, we call these areas fundable marine eco system. and the estimated 14000 species on the sea bed of unable not just the fishing, but to other threats like warming, c, temperatures and plastics,
3:47 pm
pollution. and that's why the expeditions pool around with search. so important in the bit to protect these voltage. oldest scientific data will be compiled to form a party of evidence in support of assigned to the proposal and present it to the ontology commission in less than a year's time. 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 sparrows from the top practice to running repairs. goals looking for for the ride. and we know the system is the same every day and we share the life. busy
3:48 pm
the lights that we had for sure, making land full on the south shetland islands the other to be on top and then to cut a release to be back on dry land or face. think reading around all over the place to me. welcome. hi calling. it's the pin and shed territory with the sales one, making the most of the comfortable feathers, the melting juvenile here to evidence, once again of how the world is closing in on i talked to a number of tourist 20 years ago. it was around $4.00 to $5000.00 a year. now it's more like 70000 who like me, desperate to see this wilderness while it's still here. yet despite myself,
3:49 pm
i can't help the sense of unease and surprise about the sheer numbers. for the bit sizing by this is a great big cruise ship there, here in pristina and talked to karen lines. it's here, it's gonna help is dormant volcano, which is ridiculous because it's a free well, but it does just demonstrate the the new accessibility. there is a danger these areas becoming changes by the footprint of next day was steaming down the west coast of the antarctic peninsula area where the vessels off from china, ukraine,
3:50 pm
and truly refreshing for crew. a small troop like creature on which the whole eco system depends. there keystone of the ocean cycle, the dodge of planting, helping to transfer c o 2 to the depths of the ocean. but current as being harvested on a growing scale, the fish feet and the 3 on ships nets are out and they're in the thick of the curls, will obviously densely packed in this area up against the island. so just circling round and round ring the months at all the whales of feeding the season flowing and well, tales disappearing slippery, showing sides. we give out the grill companies, say the tapping into a result that is sustainable. the view on board is that that is what they said about other species like devices in north america or called store. so if you found a full booth with decimated, it's essentially areas such as well. we'll see all protected stops, kind replenish,
3:51 pm
proposal for this area. would be area 30 kilometers off show off limits to the fishing industry. so we side of that. so solution you can continue to fission intoxication, but keep it outside of these areas currently being positive protected areas because the reason light being proposed is because it's so important for the ecosystem down here. soon we'll begin the long journey home for this time to make another landing . and the variety of species here on livingston island is just as down the absolutely spectacular. just a little more diverse and having 2 spaces of penguins time petrol. sales level sales is not being another landing with quite
3:52 pm
a variety. when you look at the place from the ship is leaking and get you arrive in the evening, teeming with life, and it's driving right now and you can see all around us. it's driving. who knows? what it was like under the is gonna pass it, was there even better, but right now it's still compared to most of the places on that. it's doing a lot better. unemployment protecting is to allow it to continue. and that's why we haven't yet messer's place up. we have the opportunity to protect the or the other question that the, the dynamics of this place event oscar. i changing at the seo population, expanding rapidly. it was a penguin dial from the east last year. the price is changing. graham populations are under tresses tours, and i mean this is the last great wilderness on the nice protecting
3:53 pm
the it's time to head back into 5 days, we crossed the stormy seas of the drake passage to south america. before heading home an opportunity to consider the wonder of what we've seen and the challenges that lie ahead in winning the protection of the precious parts of our planet. and whether or not this protection would indeed be ground to a box in 9 months time. the often months of campaigning and ends loving by the green peas team. it all comes down to here hope out on the island because mania in australia for the future. the will see we decide this is where it's all happening. the headquarters
3:54 pm
of the on top of the commission that protects and manages the planets southern most horses. everything from territorial claims to fishing rights being stretched out right now by 25 government delegations to start k, the departure point for several antarctic expeditions today who bodies the place where the fates of the continents hines and the balance of the boys together and talked to hook up the game with will, between low being hard for the widow. see sign truth since i last saw him. the news he brings is unexpected. to say the least. it's not looking great. i think we've seen a real is a bit of it is also the main thing to be on this something that no one was really expecting the way we were always in the last it was gonna be hard. and then what we're seeing is a few countries just to really undermine the process and, and uh, since you broke any progress on any issues, not just not just stay in touch the cushion century,
3:55 pm
but actually progress in any field. good luck. thank for the sheets for the next 24 hours. good is great. i'm hoping for the best. perhaps we'll have some good news tomorrow. the decision day and the country delegations have been dropped into journalists aren't allowed. and so we wait and wait. the we have developments something different, just had a cool. so we could again try and find out what's happening. so that is the head of the indian and told me to australia. what are you saying it is kind of reveal. we'll see that and we're not going to be adults or just just
3:56 pm
let's just devastate, can use account. janelle, how the grievous team a fee, right. let's say the other delegations, are we other in jersey? suppose it's just one or 2 nations because the weather's washer. and dryer the it confirms wells was fee is, but it's not until much later we can speak to him each of agents so much to this project. stairwell nice. i mean it's, uh, it's just a complete same. yeah. the commission on the huffman, you know, the millions of people who saw and this is a new one to visit a house. and then we've just seen the entire thing. trash. yeah. $22.00 countries for the $25.00 support team. they believe this is a good proposal. but china, russia, know, i, you know, one by one through different means and different reasons have just taken that parts and take to ends with on growth. personal point of view,
3:57 pm
you've invested so much time and energy and passion, and hop into this what's, what's the feeling? it's horrible. you know, it's nearly 2 years of assess working on it. yeah. it right. it ain't of yet. you know, there are other good proposals on the table and this proposal is, is still a good one. and we'll get the chance next year to resubmit it. but something's going to have to shift in the next year. it is intensely disappointing for everybody involved. but it does just demonstrate the challenge we face in protecting this plan is about, especially in the face of a current climate of nationalist, political self interests. it is not just about the way elizabeth penguins and the one to event out to guess it's about us. us and i'll defend we do, we want to leave them the world without wilderness without healthy fish,
3:58 pm
3:59 pm
southwest. we've got the colors on dark, the rad the higher the temperature. and this is all being caused by a heat down. so think of hot air rising and then shoved right back. down to the ground and this is the result. i mean look at some of these temperatures, phoenix, 46 biggest, 46, death valley, 5200. still on sunday. death valley could reach 55 degrees. if that happens, this will be a new record for the highest temperature ever recorded. the current record is $54.00 in death valley. and again, the forecast is calling for 55 degrees for the us call states storms. really the name of the game here. we had some pretty intense rain for northwest florida that produced some flooding. and now i think once again the us northeast could see further flooding. this is the forecast on saturdays storms through the midwest, but watch on sunday. we scoop up that moisture off the a biotech, and that is really going to amplify rain fall amounts for the ne, again, likely to see some flooding risk. when for the canadian prairies means temperatures
4:00 pm
are below average here bouts of rain for the caribbean and the pacific coast of central america. temperature is down in brazil yet to $25.00 degrees and it looks like it's going to be a windy day for the river plate. region see soon, the on the fly, one, any pocket of this has been use life though, coming up the next 60 minutes from italy, algeria to the us and mexico. countries around the world face dangerously high temperatures and jet harrington. and i'll have more on the heat waves for the 1st
