these researches will cover almost 3000 kilometers in trans polar aircraft and they'll stay here until the antarctic summer returns.
4:31 pm
snow in the very heart of antarctica has one amazing property. when the temperature drops below minus $55.00 it becomes a drive frozen sand if a plane lands on it friction instantly cheats its skis which then refreeze solidly onto the runway. that's why planes can only flight of us stuck between mid december and early february just 2 months in every year for the rest of the time that people are completely cut off from the outside while. stocks water supply is drawn from the snow.
4:32 pm
the station sits more than 3500 meters above sea level that met altitude even the fittest of people time have very quickly due to the low oxygen levels. to be over there they're sort of part of. spirit merely because you were working. earlier with. bruce hopes that open. but. the conditions here are truly unique human the average temperature in december and january falls below minus 30 and in winter minus 80 is par for the course. that must vary pressure is 40 percent lower than on the mainland and there's less oxygen in the. joint pain and news bleeds all symptoms of a climate as a nation it can take a whole months for
4:33 pm
a body to adapt. it to your food you drove the. blues it was approved. your would be. better suited you moved. to the soviet union at that time went to watch the station because it was the 1st father just place from the coast from anywhere in the guy it was the most challenging place i mean the way the soviet union wanted to show how good they where hunting very extreme conditions so the felt was more important the gore won than scientific won now is different this iteration is very much driven by science . all of antarctica risk covered by an ice sheet that can be up to 4 kilometers think that's enough to cover the entire planet in a 50 meter thick layer of ice. is the word for you and you push to
4:34 pm
go against going to go because i want to. go with the nation i'm going there with a weapon even though i'm going to do with a boycott of credibility because flu conclusion at the moment will be good to think i'm a little bit of both and. that they were going to and then they were the other so interesting nowhere near good example new coke and then when i thought oh the poor can really be the cool. one of the biggest geographical discoveries in the 2nd half of the 20th century scientists. did that the size of europe sub. contains water that is millions of years old. but to reach it you have to drill through the so-called atmospheric ice formed by the snow that has fallen in antarctica for
4:35 pm
millennia. one theory is that the lake formed because the ice sheet above it melted under the pressure of its own weight another is that the naked always existed even before antarctica froze over and that the ice sheets simply sealed it in. in a different attitude state is that the said in the can to do with a bit of. south of the of the group of the earth is the british it's a look at them for stupidness a short the burden of the social and delicious to of the. late 20th century saw the 1st attempts to reach the lake by drilling through the kilometers of ice that concealed this unique body of water. down to a stock that it was certainly worth concerts in the world war 3 this should keep it so that it's to us in.
4:36 pm
the borehole was dubbed 5 g. one and drilling began in 1909 serviette french and american members of the joint expedition at the vast uk station all took part. in my work as related truest studies of the pastrana in the antarctic their ice cores being drilled they're about 10 centimeters in diameter and up to 3 kilometers known. researches from various countries drill through the antarctic more using their unique mess. but only at the russian station have drillers managed to reach the ice boundary. and then make water where they stopped. apparently there's no way to take water samples
4:37 pm
from the lake without introducing contaminating microorganisms. so far we have no way of knowing whether there is life in the most ancient water on earth but paleoclimatologists have found material that is just as valuable for their research. is the only archive where you can have similar tain as least stored that temperature history of the earth and similar tain is lead to the same times also the composition of the atmosphere of these times so we can directly go into the ice and find ot the contents of this atmosphere is specially sealed to.
4:38 pm
and from this c o 2 measurements we know form from the last 800000 years. with the only. method is what do. or. do you want to do with. studies of this engine dice have yielded serious scientific results we can extract data about the earth's climate hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago how from tiny bubbles trapped in the ice for millions of years this new group of people by their them showed him and this has been put there so the shock folks need to get a share through look i'm obama we've got with him on stop with we have bill that you. well the snowboarder got that image too because they took a rebirth wish they were the new pair of those immigrants but it was sort of political 1st there's a push for them at their word use their look at the birth of their new. from these
4:39 pm
studies researches now know that greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane have a change in only builds up in the atmosphere leading to a warmer climate then hundreds of thousands of years later levels decrease again resulting in ice ages. is to get access to a major challenge which took place about 1000000 years ago and it's a kind of an enigma we don't really know what happened we expect that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is responsible for this change and this is what we want to check how much carbon dioxide was a get a fair a 1000000 years before. so perhaps the global warming we see today is just a period in the planet's climatic history and people have nothing to do with it for are we excess arista climatic calamity after all these are the questions paleontologists are trying to answer here in antarctica.
4:40 pm
your pocket. book. the pool of quotes apparently it will start. to believe. some people go through. who is to talk to. you today with the. researchers from every country represented in antarctica. scientific objectives politicians have another goal it's what a cool presence. the quality of presence on the polar continent is a symbol of a nation's capability and strength. the extent to which a country can influence antarctica's future depends on it. the
4:41 pm
usa australia france germany china japan india chile and other countries have stations in antarctica. more than 50 countries have a presence and they're signatories to the antarctic treaty. so i would do this for him. to have. a moment of truth is coming soon the 959 treaty expires in less than 30 years. where that is the beauty of the absolute beauty that these tensions do not matter in the scientific community in trouble maybe because of a medical emergency or because the weather just closes opportunities for science in one area then the cooperation is there to look how can we best help each other
4:42 pm
attentions do not come into it at all on the grassroots level of doing antarctic research and it is a wonderful example how the international community can come together and how we can overcome other issues and work together. like. polar explorers abide by the rules agreed 60 years ago the only legal activity in respect of antarctica and its inhabitants his research. into. if you will. in truth the native inhabitants aren't always happy about the attention.
4:43 pm
is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being. watched his face. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. in the shallows.
4:44 pm
taste awful. first game then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating and walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it into numbers show you my hair. 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so. does the bush. there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the
4:45 pm
us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos. to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul it. was a pandemic no certainly no borders i'm just blind to nationalities. as much we don't observe the we don't look like seeing the whole world beat's to be the chief. judge of. 2 commentary crisis with this system to modern times we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing in your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on
4:46 pm
forever the challenges create the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. thank you both. 2 thank. 2 you. for both the beautiful look awfully good as you look to be dealing with on with the football team on whose money kill bill is for. you with much of.
4:47 pm
the scope i'm talking about with the pistol you thing that you studied so you know what it. might they want to. see what are the things i'm not those are the worst for you were all looking at the. p.x. . please give them. along with you know when you. should write a show but. i mean yeah. your show just shows it's about money by michael yeah but he also and i have a car and used to look. at this or spoke yeah but coolest it themselves. it's. just seems because open you up. to you have done with.
4:48 pm
you know in the country things like that when you. you know i will. give him a few of little party pure all. wrapped bunch of sway marcum in the mean i grew it still here with us i'm a. warship no more the ocean bush the with a little ways to go we're going through there have been given was low because the movies love the bed made the. book a woman he took a few more years will burn with us but the issue it's just 2 fold. but the way to go with this thought it.
4:49 pm
was to do what you should try to do it was to believe you believe that one time t. do with the above but to each year. i mean it is it is an amazing amazing place and i think you should be prepared to go and go there and feel your place may invest the suddenly feel very small. how do you cope with such an enormous overload politicians come to the rescue. but i still feel that. when we're going to see wish to marry a. little grains a little. star you need to. seal the bottles and one of these.
4:50 pm
mid winter probably brings the biggest holiday to antarctica. everyone celebrates no matter which country they're from. the mid winter celebrations mean that half of the season has passed and every day takes you closer to going out. the americans have a reputation for coming up with fun ideas and they've decided that everyone must celebrate mid winter to get up the autumn area. in target take when tour film festival or the. film festival is drawing near. for the 1st weekend of august at the american
4:51 pm
mcmurdo station mcmurdo is the largest station in antarctica it's a small town with a population of almost $1500.00. the festival consists of 2 parts 1st the open category entrance upload damage to films of any genre about any topic the only restriction is on duration it can be no longer than 5 minutes why just 5 because a common antarctic problem has a low speed connection. we have back in the 2nd category is for films made in just 48 hours a day on friday festival organizers announced the rules and on monday all
4:52 pm
participants upload their entries which are shown to the entire population of mcmurdo. and the jury delivers its verdict the winners are announced in several nominations just like all good movie festivals best film best actor best writer best camerawork and there's an audience award. all of antarctica's inhabitants abide by laws some the feathered and aquatic varieties abide by the antarctic laws of nature others by the provisions of the antarctic treaty. under the antarctic treaty. by mental pressure.
4:53 pm
adopted in the early 1900 and part of that whole protocol is about how we under the treaty are going to manage the environment better things about mineral exploitation. the rules governing antarctic life specifically states that any country exploring
4:54 pm
the continent must leave only pristine land behind them that's what explorers do. every year when a large ship arrives and they prepare for a shift change the burn water can be burned and all glass and scrap metal is collected to be shipped out to the mainland. in. later the scrap metal and glass is loaded into a container and taken to the ship by tractor and helicopter. but. yet that.
4:55 pm
6 weeks. who. knows. what the load with us. if. it would be much more. built. this. for instance would be 14025 kilometer. every antarctic station of every country has similar mile markers it's a symbol
4:56 pm
a reminder of home and a subtle sign of the state's identity. what's the good of a militia to just want a. job with the choice you. were treated when you. don't. get what you teach. you for now the harsh climate hinders colonization in antarctica but in the future if it warms this southernmost continent really could be settled. you cannot turn to political interests to have
4:57 pm
stations and economic interest to have tourist. i think it's important to set some limits. but it turns out that signing the antarctic treaty doesn't mean that the countries that ratified it have withdrawn their territorial claims over the continent and nearby areas. some of the claims are enormous. the beauty of the antarctic treaty is the nations who have made territorial claims put them aside completely and as you know some of the territorial claims are over that's dedicated to scientific research. it will be a real shame if the antarctic values imbedded in that treaty of a perfect community of free citizens in gauged solian research and scientific

progress should ever sink into oblivion this should be a place for true freedom because. and human brotherhood on this fragile world of ours. backscatter financial survival guide stacey let's learn about feel out let's say i'm the troika and here please i'm greece of the fight wall street fraud thank you
4:59 pm
for helping. on the story that's true. that's slavery. become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people demanding the shutdown of a local plant for my 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 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 power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways a struggle. germany
