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. 2 even music sounds different here to anywhere else on earth. in 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
11:35 pm
are many. the beauty of research work in antarctica is that it is driven by sharing of resources because you cannot survive in 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 that's greater because there should. be more comfortable guards. there are a few years as a crowd now. per record that. everyone here knows that

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 warships off and didn't beyond the 60 itself parallel. in 1980 s. and topped it was declared a nuclear free zone. making it a no go area for atomic valid vessels on nuclear power plants.
11:39 pm
and on. 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 got into here that. the thought of. after an 11 month tour of duty some will go home and others will take their place living and working on this harsh continent financial year they sometimes jokingly call themselves and talk to kenyans. what makes them take for

11:44 pm
is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us on the death. or a mate in the shallowest. 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 largely male company so far from
11:45 pm
family and friends. and you will agree she's truly. dealy good. hope and yet the show is just you do if it was yoko of the 3. of us. and you know this that they wouldn't use the loo it was then you have a bell boy with a little bit bigger than the shift of. 60 percent of polar explorers the 1st expedition is also with their lust for others it's the opposite they yearn to return to antarctica reg. and again.

11:48 pm
a human influence is extremely valuable. then 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 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 the. sort of the beginning of the present work started from the data then ultimately achieve this and develop this thing to. another
11:49 pm
subject of particular interest stones. the type of the rockets are more fit and it has if you look closely and it has. caps. and they look like. this is. an ice 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. also. was altered so slow.

11:51 pm
reveal its secrets they could change our lives. very much then of the states book. which i doubt. we. keep stating. that no scientific research at all would be possible without one essential element . but what could that be on this remote continent. so we were disillusioned. little to windows didn't. sit there you little goose that on this just tell you when i was in it it between us that way. during the summer 25 people work at the vast uk station. only 10 to 12 stay for the winter. it
11:52 pm
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 just. been able 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.
11:53 pm
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 scabs. it's all due to the 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
11:54 pm
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.
11:55 pm
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. 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 but you. know that it's about that is that it was my. god it was you who. were the pseudo it was total. bullshit for. the drivers are on the icy road for 2 to 3 weeks the snow covered ground resembles
11:56 pm
. 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. through security but also what you used to be. able to get. this is. their shape to use some you know that. your dish emerged but did you not 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
11:57 pm
spot in temperatures of minus 50 degrees celsius. only states which. is a bonus 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 winter at last uk 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 realise that the trouble is . there's 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
11:58 pm
being transported so it's a lot of. sima schnabel. new to me that there is a reason we shouldn't mushroom and speech. it's on matters that are both the most doesn't. mean your argument is you know a mess but it's little. well today we're going to talk about what happens when. government. fears together with corporations what happens. nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. . people of demanding the shut down of
11:59 pm
a local plant from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit 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 who or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is your power lies with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways. seemed wrong. to me to be yet to shape out disdain become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.
