6 2. the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in absolutely everything was. going through a period of change and understanding which aspects of those changes. of natural cycles and. being able to tease a poet's where there is a human influence is extremely valuable. then i seismological measurements i 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.
1:48 pm
fear comes under scrutiny to. its composition and drakula the wind speed. also monitored there was a. physical observatory. and that was their sort of the beginning of the present work process started for them that no i made data then after my ph d. this and sort of developed 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 morphett and it has if you look closely and it has. caps in there and they look like this is and. i would be all good and nice is the rock type.

1:50 pm
you know you'll recall food for 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. in a very rich center of states. which i doubt. me. but no scientific research atoll would be possible without one essential element.
1:51 pm
of what could that be on this remote continent. so murderers as soon as you. see it appeared to me that there are you as that of course that on this 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 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 put it would just. been able to. do it would fulfill if michigan churches
1:52 pm
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 i 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
1:53 pm
antarctica or in 1985 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 that a whirl around antarctica. that's how severe cyclonic storms get started.
1:54 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 long journey. the column never stops for a moment to cruise keep it going while one is at the wheel the other sleeps in the
1:55 pm
train or. we know that it's about that is that it was the middle. road it was you who. were the pseudo it was for. the drivers are on the icy road for 2 to 3 weeks the snow covered ground resembles . 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 say goodbye to the last was you. know. that's a little too good. this is this.
1:56 pm
super chariot. some you know there are. a little. skittish emerge but i think 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 which. goes a bore much more than they. are just throwing. 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
1:57 pm
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 of these bakers to carry very heavy loads you have to realise that the trouble. others every year between because i've got a station 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 so it's a lot of. simo shampooed news contributor because there is a reason we should know mushroom species by that man my biggest concern never got up with a missing person or to be a. bully in your argument is you but through this little.
1:58 pm
one else seemed wrong. but all quotes just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out disdainfully come to educate and in games from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still look for common ground. new become a battleground in the us. people of demanding the shut down of a local plant for my 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
1:59 pm
a traditional participatory democracy as are powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle.
2:00 pm
with the goal of being more than the country's population by the end of. the. following a wave of allergic reactions color for new. drugs which comprise a 10th of the u.s. thanks.
