1:35 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 go it on the euro 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 does or should i. is the last was counterfeit

1:38 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 because it's. 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 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 into here they're off enough to get. up at the thought of.
1:40 am
well are there other of those of the i think if i were. after an 11 month tour of duty some will go home and others will take their place living and working on this house 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 media close. to shoot can you shoot you. up with you even.

why went on dark could conquer men i was born with the vicious thing to grow turned out because. it was so good. little boy let's go by the pool soak. up. the thought of this thing that i. think also the pussy you know. so mama mama your bubble boy boy this is so. so so just the same that some of them from bush should be able to go. back to go back but they decided not to take the slice. they don't care about

experienced fraid. say oh yeah i know everything better than you guys because i've been here before and so experience doesn't count. the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in absolutely everything that. our cold is going through a period of change and and understanding which aspects of those changes are part of not sure. cycles and. being able to tease apart where there is
1:48 am
a human influence is extremely valuable. for example i'm geophysicist them i did seismological measurements i created to measure men's. movements 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. fear comes under scrutiny here too they analyze its composition and record the wind speed water snow and ice are also monitored. physical observatory. and then sort of the beginning of the present work started to. develop this thing to. another subject of particular interest

stones. the type of the rockets are more fit and if you look closely. and they look like. this is. the rock type. they also study what a little oil 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 truth doesn't work recently which you brought to think that it. was all so strange.
1:50 am
and of course the scientists always paint close attention to antarctica's flora and fauna. increasing the in the perm photo more than your. consequences for the penguins. and i only really. think. living in war really all truly. fauquier small cost issue. who. knows. a lick or food or penguins. 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 then of the states. 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 see it it's me you little goose that on the yes they leave winners in it's 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. 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.

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 is can burn to blindness cheekbones to blisters and lips to bloody scabs. it's all due to the ozone hole which is incredibly big. it was discovered here in antarctica in 1905 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
1:54 am
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'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.
1:55 am
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 column never stops for a moment to cruise keep it going while one is at the wheel the other sleeps in the trailer. in the most when you put your. we know that it's about that is that it was my. god it was you who. were the pseudo it was still. the drivers are on the icy road for 2 to 3 weeks the snow covered ground resembles
1:56 am
. the scene 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 what's new she's been. a. little too good to feed me a bit this is this. huge super shaped. some you know there are. a little. skittish emerge but not very 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
1:57 am
on the spot in temperatures of minus 50 degrees celsius so. almost a. switch. goes a promise 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 troubles is of these bakers to carry very heavy loads you have to realise that the trouble. others every year between the course. is 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
1:58 am
so it's a lot of. simo schnabel pretty dubious congenial to me that there is a reason we should know mushroom species by that man my biggest concern never got up with a mask person to do it. for you mean your argument is you know a man but it's little story. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person of. the day there's thinks. we dare to ask.

a tradition. our ally with the people this demonstrates that struggle in the very real way. the struggle. in the headlines this hour. program with the goal of. the population by the end of the year. should split. demand for the russian. souls across latin america. and dicing with the size of the u.k. government hints that it might fail to get a 2nd of people within 3 months as previously promised despite existing concerns it's already too long to get his reaction to. this is going to see is crucial in boosting the emu levels if we then phrase.
