antarctica is our southernmost continent surrounded by 3 oceans. it's a 14000000 square kilometer no man's land of polar cold the lowest known temperature on earth 94.7 degrees celsius was recorded had. 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
12:34 pm
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 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 baltar in culture of we do this for you then you help us out in another area. was those greater because i should. was.
12:35 pm

12:37 pm
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 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 belonged to no nation. military deployment and washed off and didn't beyond the 60 itself parallel. in
12:38 pm
1980 antarctica. 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. $730.00 just can't stand for whatever they think you know that off. the thought of yet.
12:39 pm
their show that they buy what got me out of a unit. 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 home but most of all their dreams. so even though. can you shoot you.
12:40 pm
it's there to give you pleasure to see it. pretty. much as well it's very. close to new mexico just to be. honest a lot. but. a little fun of an old. role julia to the letter to her. all when you're. you know you're going through them or just. chased. him your cd. issued us a priest might. not take your shirt read. clear that

12:43 pm
apartment and i would get confused as to colleague it's not. meanwhile patients who've recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. the 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various reports that didn't just leave a 35 percent of recovered patients. so. there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talk to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have
12:44 pm
a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. it's hard to see what draws these people back year after year how can they stand 11 monotonous months of harsh unchanging scenery in largely male company from family and friends.
12:45 pm
and you will easily she's to leave it there would they. be able to get the we need and i see hoping it the show is just to do with it as you go up to free it with the . city. and you'd rather that they wouldn't use the loo it. with a little bit bigger than the. 60 percent of polar explorers the 1st expedition is also with and asked for others it's the opposite they end to return to antarctica regain and again. why i went on to our cry conquer man i was born with a vicious thing to go turned out because.
12:46 pm
well go before you see it. as i said little boy. talk. i don't we were. born. for. some of them. to go back but we decided not to take 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.
12:47 pm
about without. 2 the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in absolutely everything was looking oh no it's going through a period of changes and understanding which aspects of those changes are part of natural cycles and. being able to tease apart where there is a human influence is extremely valuable. since then i did seismological measurements i tried to measure men's. ice movements
12:48 pm
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. dear comes under scrutiny here too they analyze its composition and record the wind speed water snow and ice are also monitored there was a. physical observatory. and then sort of the beginning of the present work process started working the data then out then they pitched this and sort of developed this thing to a larger area and what i'm doing now. another subject of particular interest stones . the type of the rock it's a metre or more fit and it has if you look closely and it has.
12:49 pm
caps in there 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 roof was worthless lurch. also. was altered so all of the slaves. and of course the scientists always paying close attention to antarctica's flora and fauna. the water was curious increasing the when the time for more than in
12:50 pm
europe. has consequences for the penguins. and. we've seen. really all teary. for color small. who. knows. the look or food or program. 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 benefit states. i doubt.
12:51 pm
me. but no scientific research atoll 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 get it beats me that there are you as that of course that on the c.s. tell you 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
12:52 pm
a snow tunnel. such total isolation leaves its mark on the relationships within a team. who. did. it would just shift unable to read french words. would fulfill if michigan churches used to. forge a new range would be a little bit of a bitch to 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
12:53 pm
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. 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.
12:54 pm
12:55 pm
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 train or. the most in your particular. we know that it's about that is that it was my. right it was you who. were the pseudo understood. 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.
12:56 pm
drivers with the skilled. navigate the terrain without waking the companions most in demand. through security but there also was you. know what. i do to get. this is this to do this you. should see their shape use some you know that i. really should merge with my 3 or more 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. cause
12:57 pm
a blemish more than they. just go and. 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 the 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 realize that the trouble is. there's every year between the course i 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. c. motion. that is your reason we should you know mushroom species. never
12:58 pm
got a person. to be. or do you mean your argument is you are a man but it's little through. well today we're going to talk about what happens when. government is fused together with corporations what happens. become a battleground in the us in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from 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 reactor
12:59 pm
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 a traditional participatory democracy as are powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except where such conflict with the 1st law should your identification we should be very careful about official intelligence the point obesity is. linked to the very thing with artificial intelligence will summon the demon.
