6:35 pm
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 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. 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 friendly community. antarctica is a very international community and most definitely historically and presently there
6:36 pm
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 your own and 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. it's great because i should play. his glass was. my fingers as a crowd now. that . everyone here knows that

a trauma surgeon is spending the winter at russia's billings house and station that means anyone who's injured get sent to him. chileans have a dentist so everyone goes to freebase to have their teeth fixed. she was worse than. later. one of them might. just go to russia for what studying there. was of the moment was what is your privilege clear to go there it's going to get a job but you know if you actually look up with the richard will put out.
6:38 pm
the chinese visit the russians to taste bush in turn the russians go to the chinese computer room because it has the fastest internet connection on the antarctic peninsula. scientific research collaboration and respect of all the turnout in antarctica that's the agreement to which the people of earth have now it headed for 60 years 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.
6:39 pm
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 1980 antarctica. declared a nuclear free zone. making it a no go area for atomic ballad vessels on nuclear power plants.
6:40 pm
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 just can't stand for whatever they think you know that off. the thought of that. show there also some thought they by what got me out of any. after 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 top to kenyans what makes them tick for

6:46 pm
a little bit bigger than the rest of. the 60 percent of polar explorers the 1st expedition is also their lust for others it's the opposite they yearn to return to antarctica read gain and again. why i went on dark a cry. contre man i was born with a vicious thing to grow turned out because. the real killer was size of the bottom of your noble solicits. the way we describe it of course talk. i don't we were. born. for.

6:48 pm
the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in absolutely everything was like oh it's going through a period of changing and understanding which aspects of those changes are part of natural cycles and. being able to tease a pot where there is a human influence is extremely valuable. for example i'm cioffi since then i seismological measurements i need to measure men's. ice movements 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 doing. here 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.
6:49 pm
and then sort of the beginning of the present work process started for them that no i made data then out and 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 . that's the type of the rock it's a meter morphett and it has if you look closely then it has. 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
6:50 pm
can notice the world. knows that the roof was all just lurch. it was also. one of those old soul of slate a crazy. story. 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. and the real reason is that. all teary. for cooler smaller. who. knows. the look or food or program. so. deep in its ice
6:51 pm
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 fear of the states. i doubt. 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.
6:52 pm
little to windows didn't see it appeared to me that there were you as that of course that on the fiesta only you when i was in it sort of 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 some light there 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. unable to. do it would fulfill if michigan churches used if their. fortunes in that 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 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
6:54 pm
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.
6:55 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 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 up. in the machine you but you. know that it's about that is that it was most. right it was you who. were there should go to school.
6:56 pm
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 there also was you. know what that's a little too good. this is this. super chatty. some you know there are. you know there's
6:57 pm
a little. skittish emerge and 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 suit. of the. only states which. is a bullish moves and they. are just growing. 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 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
6:58 pm
to carry very heavy loads you have to realise 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. see moshe rabbenu. that he was in the shed you know mushroom. never got up with that person. to be. only mean your argument is you know him at odds with this little. taste awful. ok. then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating like walk 2 blocks away from the
6:59 pm
apartment and i would get confused as to holly gets 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 the things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many takes pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my. 1113 there is just throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. there have been many complaints of peril 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
7:00 pm
a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. germany extends and strengthens coverage restrictions nationwide as the country steps up its fight against the pandemic. local mayors in france vent their anger over vaccines sure. disease and logistical setbacks and speaks to one regional head. main thing and this is just a joke of the day we have to go and get the vaccine ourselves. washington d.c. wraps up security out of joe biden's inauguration doesn't troops are pulled from ceremony for operations by the f.b.i. 2 of them due to allege ties to extreme.
