5:34 pm
live together in a close friend of the community. antarctica is a very international community and most definitely historically and presently there are many. the beauty of research work in antarctica is that it is driven by sharing of resources because you cannot survive on this continent if you want to do it on your own and so there is a very active. it's almost a ball to ring culture of we do this for you then you help us out in another area. where a was there's greater because there should. more comfortable

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 clothes. 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. has declared a nuclear free zone. making it a no go area for atomic valid vessels on 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 it yet.
5:39 pm
though i think by 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 financially you know they sometimes jokingly call themselves and talk to kenyans what makes them tick for a year they'll work remembering a home but most of all their dreams. so even the media. can shoot you.

2 the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in. everything that. i will go but it's going through a period of change and understanding which aspects of those changes are part of natural cycles and. being able to tease a poet where there is a human influence is extremely valuable. since then i seismological measurements i need to measure men's. ice movements and also we have magnetic measurements that's concerned on the. magnetic field how . get stronger or weaker and how it changed direction and also how the poor doing.
5:48 pm
here comes under scrutiny here too they analyze its composition and record the wind speed water snow and ice are also monitored. your physical observatory and the. sort of the beginning of the present work process started for them that no i made data then out and they could see this and sort of develop this whole thing to a larger area and what i'm doing now. another subject of particular interest stones . that's the type of the rockets more fit and it has if you look closely and it has. caps in there and they look like. this is and. i would be. nice is the rock type.
5:49 pm
they also study what little soil there is but only one percent of antarctic land consists of it and to be exact that's permafrost. would still be at he meets you can notice the world. knows that the roof was all just lurch. it was also. one of those old soul of slate. and of course the scientists always paying close attention to antarctica's flora and fauna. the water was curious increasing the in the time photo more than in europe. has consequences for the penguins. and. we've seen. all cheery.
5:50 pm
for cooler smaller crawfish. who. knows. the look or food hoping. 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. which i doubt. me.
5:51 pm
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 when those didn't see it beats me that there are you as that of course that on the yes they live when i was in it sort of 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 would
5:52 pm
just shift unable to. do it would fulfill if michigan just used if their. fortunes in that range would be a little bit of fish if one is just ridiculous. with a bunch of push of the 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 bloody to scabs. it's all due to the
5:53 pm
ozone hole which is incredibly big. it was discovered here in antarctica in 1805 the 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 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 is how severe. cyclonic storms get started.
5:54 pm
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. the
5:55 pm
column 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 most in your particular. we know that it's about that is that it was my. god it was you who. were 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. to say goodbye but also what
5:56 pm
you used to be. able to get. their shape use some you know there. are a little. skittish emerged not to eat so much 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 in which. those are blue much more than they. are just go and. there's no time to waste every expedition member knows that the
5:57 pm
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 bus dock and the station will die. the reason why your friends when folk out there instead of to real troubles is of these bakers to carry very heavy loads you have to realise that the trouble is. there's every year between of course i've 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 sure. that the deal was initiated. by them and my biggest concern never is that our board doesn't. so you do. or you mean your argument is. a little bit.
