7:35 am
is a very international community and most definitely historically and presently there are many and. 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 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 that's greater because there should. be more comfortable buyers are sure that there are a few years as a. alan now. that

7:38 am
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. declared a nuclear free zone. making it
7:39 am
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. $730.00 just can't stand for whatever they think you know that off. the thought of yet. they buy what got me out of here. after
7:40 am
an 11 month tour of duty some will go home and others will take their place living and working on this continent finance. they sometimes jokingly call themselves and talk to kenyans what makes them take for a year they'll work remembering a home but most of all their dreams. so even. close. to shoot can you shoot you.
7:41 am
it's there to give you pleasure to see it. pretty. much as well it's very. close to. you just to be. honest a lot. but if i were one of my old. role julia to the letter to her. all the new. year you're going through more than just. chased. him you'll see the. issue that's a push might. not take your travel read young lives that are causing significant see this. you lost the preserve of humanity.

the world is driven by shaped by. snow dares thinks. we dare to ask.
7:44 am
is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. pushed direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. it's
7:45 am
hard to see what draws these people back year after year how can they stand 11 monotonous months of high unchanging scenery in largely male company so far from family and friends. and you will easily she's to leave it there would they. be able good do we need and i see hope in you at the quiz show it's just you do with it it is you go up to 3. so. you can see i knew the others that they wouldn't use the loo it was the year the bell boy with a little bit bigger than the shift of. 60 percent of polar
7:46 am
explorers the 1st expedition is also there and asked for others it's the opposite they end to return to antarctica regain and again. why i went on dark could cry conquer man i was born with a vicious thing to grow turned out because. i was good long ago before it. as i said little boy. talk. i don't we were. born so for. bush to be able. to go back but we decided not to take
7:47 am
the slice. they don't care about experienced fraid that somebody would say oh yeah i know everything better than you guys because i've been here before and so experience doesn't come. about without. the scientists of antarctica i have a keen interest in absolutely everything that lives i will go but it's going through
7:48 am
a period of change and understanding which aspects of those changes are part of natural cycles and. being able to tease a poet's where there is a human influence is extremely valuable. for example i'm too physicist and i seismological measurements i need to measure men's. ice movements and also we have magnetic measurements that's concerning magnetic fields. get stronger or weaker and how it changed direction and also how the poor. dear 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
7:49 am
beginning of the present work process started working the data then out then they could see this and sort of develop this thing to a larger area and what i'm doing now. another subject of particular interest stones . the type of the rockets and more fit and it has if you look closely and it has. caps. and they look like this is and. i would be. nice 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 he meets you can notice the world. knows that the group was worthless let's look at the worst. it was also. was altered states.
7:50 am
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 this has consequences for the penguins. we've seen. really all teary. 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
7:51 am
and future of our world. scientists believe that if this land ever chooses to reveal its secrets they could change our lives. very much said of the state's book. fair i doubt. me. but no scientific research at all would be possible without one essential element. of what could that be on this remote continent. so we were. it when those didn't see it beats me it will sit there you little goose that on the
7:52 am
fiesta only 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 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 shift unable to ensure to. do it would fulfill your michigan dish which are used to. forge a new range movement a little bit of fish if jordan is just ridiculous. with a bunch of push of the pundit class.
7:53 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 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.
7:54 am
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 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
7:55 am
fuel and machinery scientific equipment and provisions. supplies for the inland optic research station will be loaded onto a huge sledge is told by track does this caterpillar sledge train will then set off on a long journey. the column never stops for a moment to cruise keep it going while one is at the will the other sleeps in the train or. in the machine you but you. know that it's about that is that it was the middle. road it was you who. were there should go to storm.
7:56 am
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. because if. it's a little too good. this is the seed. seed shook their shape to use some you know that. you know they're a little. skittish emerge not 3 or more and she was.
7:57 am
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. goes up the much more than they. just go and. there's no time to waste every expedition member knows that the tractor train must keep moving no matter what if it doesn't make it no one will be able to spend the winter at the bus dock and the station will die. the reason why your friends when folk out there instead of to real trouble is its capability of these bakers to carry very heavy loads you have to realize that the troubles of others every year between the course i got
7:58 am
a station 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 that is the reason we should you know mushroom but i. never said our board got up with that person. to be. fully human your argument is the status of the. child's seemed wrong. but old bulls just don't call. me old yet to shape our disdain comes to agitate and in the game equals betrayal.
7:59 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. up. backs geysers financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. become a battleground in the us. and people. from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of
8:00 am
a traditional the just a. power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways. a struggle. russia expanded coverage vaccine program with the goal of immunizing more than half the country's population by the end of the year. plus a 2nd batch of arrives in argentina as demand for the russian jobs soars in latin america. and us president elect joe biden packs his state department with obama era veterans some with a track record of promoting military interventions.
