made of grass to be seen nothing but a lifeless desolate wasteland. but. but people do live and work here. and they even get married. and they all believe they're on a vital mission. setting humanity on a path to knowledge of self the planet and the whole universe. could you. just. would like to do that.

antarctica is our southernmost continent surrounded by 3 oceans. it's a 14000000 square kilometer no man's land of polar cold the lowest known temperature on earth 94.7 degrees celsius was recorded have. the south pole is probably the world's most inaccessible location. well almost there's also the pole of inaccessibility which is also here in antarctica. 2 even music sounds different here to anywhere else on earth. in fact everything feels different. people from more than 30 countries and cultures live together in a close friend a community. antarctica is

a very international community and most definitely historically and presently there are many. the beauty of research welcome antarctica is that it is driven by sharing of resources because you cannot survive in this continent if you want to do it on your own so there is very active. and almost a baltar in coach of we do this for you then you help us out in another area. where a greater because i should. walk. by a few years as a crowd now. that

. everyone here knows that a trauma surgeon is spending the winter at russia's billings house and station that means anyone who's injured get sent to him. chileans have a dentist so everyone goes to freebase to have their teeth fixed. sure. but. what about march. yes god also for what. it was of the moment was what

if you're rich clear pretty good there it's going to get a job but you know if you actually look up with all 3 trickle price. the chinese visit the russians to taste bush in turn the russians go to the chinese computer room because it has the fastest internet connection on the antarctic peninsula. scientific research collaboration and respect up all the turnout in antarctica that's the agreement to which the people of earth have now it headed for 60 years cooperation in antarctica is everything you know the author of the treaty has said as a place for peace and for science so is or open to everybody any scientists who want

to work in antarctica is welcome to go there to corroborate with others. on december the 1st 959 in washington d.c. 12 countries signed the antarctic treaty that came into force on june the 23rd 961 . from that day on antarctica has belongs to no nation. military deployment and wash it off and didn't beyond the 60 itself parallel. in 1980 antarctica was declared a nuclear free zone. making it a no go area for atomic power vessels. own nuclear power plants.

but. the arrival in antarctica of the research vessel academic field off can only mean one thing the shift change for russia's polar explorers. 730 just can't stand for whatever they think i didn't hear that off. the thought of. a lot of the show that of those i thought if i what got me out of it yeah. after an 11 month tour of duty some will go home and others will take their place

living and working on this continent financial year they sometimes jokingly call themselves and talk to kenyans what makes them tick for a year they'll work remembering home but most of all their dreams. so even the media. can shoot you.

it should be could you see it. pretty. much as well it's very. close to new mexico just to be. honest a lot. but. a little fun of an old. rebel journey into the true. cool new. year you're going through the more just. chased. him. cd. issue that's a push my. not take your shirt read well gosh there's that cosmic significance to this. you lost the preserve of humanity. if you swallow it at least.

somewhat she will praise what. you're about 8 years. later than you. used to do in addition if you watch us don't. we when you when you can see it's just you think you saw. it on the tree great. will feature shoot 1st this will do it's. the see it's so we cram it we should do but you could pitch a still more you don't need for. 36 that missed the top of the. ship is in the.

much. more. when our child's name wrong our walls are just all all. in the world to get a shape our decision becomes agitated and in danger and equals betrayal i was. once on a find themselves while the white women choose to look for common ground.

54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as

we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. the world is driven by a dream shaped by the person. thinks . we hear to ask. it's hard to see what draws these people back year after year how can they stand.

it's unchanging scenery in largely male company from family and friends. and you will easily she's 3 where there would be a glitch dealy would get the. show it's just you do with your ear that. you put the little sparkly put on what. did you could see and you know that it's that there wouldn't you say you it was then you that with the with the beard than the. 60 percent of polar explorers the 1st

expedition is also in it and asked for others it's the opposite they end to return to antarctica regain and again. why i went on dark a crowd i had conquered and then i was born but the vicious thing to go turned out because. the real killer was sized to long ago but not before so it's. so similar a loyal you describe of course hawk. couldn't park a girl across or thought up we're up by with a with a ruler photographs and i. think i'll film which to see the old. mama mama a bush boy. fishermen's a long walk i feel cover the thought of gold nick suggested this and that some of the sioux city of over the course of the whole. 5 have i would have back to go back

but i decided not to take a place. they don't care about experience. that somebody would say oh yeah i know everything better than you guys because i've been here before and so experience doesn't count 2. the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in absolutely everything that. our globe is going through a period of change and an understanding which aspects of those changes

appalled of natural cycles and. being able to tease a paltz where there is a human influence is extremely valuable. then i did seismological measure men's i measure men's. movement and also we have magnetic measurements that's concerning the magnetic field how it gets stronger or weaker and how it changed direction and also how. the air comes under scrutiny here too they analyze its composition and record the wind speed water snow and ice are also monitored. physical observatory. and they're sort of the beginning of the present work started for. this and sort of develop

this thing to. another subject of particular interest stones. the type of the rockets are more fit and it has if you look closely. and they look like this is. the rock type. they also study what little soil there is but only one percent of antarctic land consists of it and to be exact that permafrost. would still be at humi chicanos the world. knows that the group was worthless lurch. also.

was altered so. and of course the scientists always paying close attention to antarctica's flora and fauna. the water was cool. increasing the in the term photo more than your own truth has consequences for the penguins. and i. think. more really all clearly. for cooler small. who. knows. the work or food or programs than there are so. deep in its ice and waters antarctica holds many undiscovered truths about the past and future of

our world. scientists believe that if this land ever chooses to reveal its secrets they could change our lives. very much fear of the states. i doubt. me. that no scientific research at all would be possible without one essential element . of what could that be on this remote continent. so we were. little to windows didn't. sit there you as that of course that on the yes tell you when i was in it it between us that way. during the summer

25 people work at the vast uk station only 10 to 12 stay for the winter it was long ago that these buildings last saw sunlight they're totally covered in snow and the only way out is through a snow tunnel. such total isolation leaves its mark on the relationships within a team. who. did. it when it would just shift unable to go from church. you would fulfill your michigan church or used to. fortune and that range would be a lot of fish if jordan is just ridiculous it. would. push a pundit class.

the antarctic sun beats down with unbelievable strength. ultraviolet levels here are the highest on earth and magnified several times over by reflecting off the white snow without adequate protection can burn to blindness cheekbones to blisters and lips to bloodied scabs. it's all due to the ozone hole which is incredibly big. it was discovered here in antarctica in 1805 the breakthrough the changed everything we ever thought we knew about the atmosphere. we had thought that there was too much ozone that it was poisoning our biosphere and causing the greenhouse effect. but while working here scientists cleared all that up and calmed everyone down it

appears every august to terrify humanity but in december it disappears as though it never existed when the hole is open the sun's rays easily penetrate the atmosphere and rapid heating causes giant pockets of air at a whirl around antarctica. that is how severe. cyclonic storms get started. the research vessel academic field out of has unloaded all of its vital cargo of

fuel and machinery scientific equipment and provisions. supplies for the inland optic research station will be loaded onto a huge sledge is told by tractor has this caterpillar sledge train will then set off on a journey. that . we call them never stops for a moment to cruise keep it going while one is at the wheel the other sleeps in the train or. in the machine you but you. know that it's about that is that it was my. god it was your group. or the studio it was still.

the drivers are on the icy road for 2 to 3 weeks the snow covered ground resembles the scene but these waves us solid stone and the trailers rock from side to side. drivers with the skilled. navigate the terrain without waking the companions most in demand. through security but also what's new. that's a little too good to me a bit this is this. they're chasing. some you know there are. you know there was a little. swedish emerge i think for march and she was. on this harsh and dangerous route anything can happen in these icy conditions the

engines are starved of oxygen and eventually stored and breakdown repairs have to be performed on the spot in temperatures of minus 50 degrees celsius. the. only states which. can cause a pool much more than they. are just throwing. there's no time to waste every expedition member knows that the track to train must keep moving no matter what if it doesn't make it no one will be able to spend the winter at last uk and the station will die. the reason why your friends when folk out there instead of to real trouble is it's good to meet you have these bakers to carry very heavy loads you have to realize that the trouble. others every year between the course i got

a station in the only way to supply or the cargo that the station requires this represents about $500.00 tons of cargo where you're being transported so it's a lot of. simo she. was in the shed you know mushroom species. it's certain members of our board that person. c.d.'s. or do you mean your argument is you know in a state just little. russia will it never really done this hoax has a life of its own also the foreign policy one mobilizes around 0 veto.

ah no team no crowd. no shots no. action just felt. well it's true no 1st. point your thirst for action. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. high salacious whole community. are you going the right way or are you being lead somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. time after time called parishioners repeat the same mantra sustainability very important it's accelerate the transition to sustainable price board sustainability stay number man out to more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is complete be hama's. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is again just want an imminent. and

news limited window nieminen i'm stunned. understood that when. we go to work. straight home.

i. head on do not tell you. finally grants permission for a rescue ship that's been stuck at sea with 180 migrants on board docked in sicily following warnings of further tension among its passengers. or so to come an investigation is underway after police in london wrong for them to take on a black man for drug possession and smashed his car window just minutes after he had given an interview to the media about racism within the police we hear from the victim. it will not see police vehicles no.
