antarctica is our southernmost continent surrounded by 3 oceans. it's a 14000000 square kilometer no man's land of polar cold the lowest temperature on earth 94.7 degrees celsius was recorded here. 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. even music sounds different here to anywhere else on earth. in
9:35 am
fact everything feels different. people from more than 30 countries and cultures live together in a close friend li community. antarctica is a very international community and most definitely historically and presently there are many. the beauty of research work in antarctica that it is driven by sharing of resources because you cannot survive on this continent if you want to do it on your own so there is a very active. it's almost a bolter in culture of we do this for you then you help us out in another area. where a war is there's greater goes. because i should play. is the last was counterfeit

one of them might. discover also for studying their eyes because of the movement would feel. pretty good going to get a job but you know if you're going to have it up with a with through a triple 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 agreements to which. the people of earth have now it here for 60 years
9:38 am
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 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.
9:39 am
in 1980 antarctica was declared a nuclear free zone. making it a no go area for atomic power vessels on nuclear power plants. in. 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 whatever they get in here that i. get. up at the thought of.
9:40 am
well are there other of those of the i think what got me out of here. after an 11 month tour of duty some will go home and others will take their place living and working on this continent finale a 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 medium close. to shoot can you shoot you. up with you and.

after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability area it's accelerating transition to sustainable prize board sustainability sustainable manner more equitable and sustainable. they claim their production is completely hama's. companies want us to feel good about their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this must be going to mean and i. mean this and we do. understand that with superman. it's hard to see what draws these people back year after year how can they stand 11 monotonous months of high unchanging scenery in launch an email company so far from
9:45 am
family and friends. and you will easily she threw it overboard in a. really good. hope and yet the show is just you do if it was you go up to free it but then you. see it was thought of as it did you could see i knew the other there wouldn't use the loo it was then you're the bellboy but the live of the 3 of them over. 60 percent of polar explorers the 1st expedition is also there. for others it's the opposite they yearn to return to antarctica regain and to gain.
9:46 am
why i went on dark could conquer a member i was born with the vicious thing to grow turned out because. it was so good. it's critical soak. it up we're up. against in the. gulf war the purpose of your. momo your book was born. just for the some of the some of them. go. to go back but they decided not to take the slice. they don't care about experienced fraid that somebody would say oh yeah i know everything better than you
9:47 am
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 culture is going through a period of change and understanding which aspects of those changes are part of natural cycles and. being able to tease apart where there is
9:48 am
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
9:49 am
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. also. was altered.
9:50 am
and of course the scientists always paying close attention to antarctica's flora and fauna. the water was clear. increasing the in the perm photos more than your. world consequences who are penguins. and i only really don't think. living in small really alternately. fauquier small cost issue. who. knows. a look or food or penguins and 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
9:51 am
states book. which 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 willow's didn't. sit there you little goose that on the yes there live when i was in it it between us that way. during the summer 25 people work at the vast oxidation only 10 to 12 stay for the winter. it
9:52 am
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. just wanted to pull it would just. been able to. do it would fulfill if michigan just used if they're. fortunate in that range would be a lot of fish if jordan is just ridiculous. with a bunch of push of the pundit class.
9:53 am
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 1985 a breakthrough that 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
9:54 am
existed when the hole is open the sun's. rays easily penetrate the atmosphere and rapid heating causes giant pockets of that a whirl around antarctica. that's 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.
9:55 am
supplies for the inland optic research station will be loaded onto a huge sledge is told by tractors 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 put your. you know that it's about that is that it was my. god it was you who. were the pseudo it was. the drivers are on the icy road for 2 to 3 weeks the snow covered ground resembles
9:56 am
. the sea but these waves are solid stone and the trailers rock from side to side. drivers with the skill to navigate the terrain without waking their companions most in demand. to sift through the basement but also it was you. know. that's a little too good to me if this is. some you know there. are a little. skittish emerge 3 or more 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
9:57 am
be performed on the spot in temperatures of minus 50 degrees celsius suit. which. goes a promise more than they. just go and. 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 it was dark 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 of others every year between the course and the only way to supply or the cargo that the station requires this represents about $500.00 tons of cargo where you're being
9:58 am
transported so it's a lot of. she motioned out the prettiest ring adamant that the reason we should see the mushroom cloud of my my biggest concern members of the book got a book from inspiration to be. or do you mean your argument is. a need to study. so we have inherited a brain constantly comparing itself to others. for a monkey we just for a bit of food it compares itself to others and it seems that it's weaker when it doesn't reach for the banana because it's afraid of getting bit it seems that it's stronger sir tone is released and it goes forth and it feels good so we patterns when we were young of comparing ourselves to others and making decisions about when
9:59 am
we feel one are any one with the old one down and it's easy to feel one down all the time if you're in for needed to think that way and then you end up with these orders all the time and the absolute depression. we are segregated and there by social class lower class people also in poverty by 1st place if you're born into a poor family you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years younger if you're born into generational poverty. it's a tough fight every day so you meet your needs and the needs of your family.
10:00 am
obviously the 5th day of violent protests over the government's decision to reimpose a covert curfew. humorous that shows did raise to counter the treatment in the u.k. due to the corona virus could cause an extra 6000 deaths we speak to a man who only discovered he had advanced callen so when he finally got much to late for gun. shows it's not for mills it's new words to put forward a few. words destroyed. through the.
