2 on december the 1st 959 the world decided it needed some land with no weapons no laws no belinda's own exploitation of human by human. an ideal community of free people who only ever engaged in peaceful activities.
8:31 pm
where we. did it's not an amazing place for amazing people. but the people who come here are really quite a wooden. hut it's only after they've lived here even for a short time that people become special. because this is a place that changes everyone who visits. save. a lot of the food you are going to shoot. people.
8:32 pm
it. would push. many different languages are spoken but the people all understand each other very well. sound even talk to the animals and birds and commune with nature itself. they all get along. to look for stuff to the state. your fish thirst for the cure all for which the o'shaughnessy to your for you made me sort of shift i really should listen i might if you wish for those species but don't choke it to just for you so
8:33 pm
yes you look. as if you should. be able to choose coca-cola me yesterday. a great. choice of toast you. repeated for him. to spread life here might seem unbearable perishing cold a chilling wind and not a single tree bush all blade of grass to be seen nothing but a lifeless desolate wasteland. but. but people do live and work here. they even get married. and they all believe they're on a vital mission. setting humanity on a path to knowledge of self the planet and only one of us.
8:34 pm
the food is really good you feel good and used to you good. with you that. 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 here. the south pole is probably the world's most inaccessible location. well almost there's also the pole of
8:35 pm
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 it most definitely historically and presently there are many a collaboration 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 the balts ring culture of we do this for you
8:36 pm
then you help us out in another area. greater because i should. want. my few years 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.
8:37 pm
she was forced to. leave her to. one of them might. just go to russia for what studying there. was of the moment because what if you're rich clear pretty good there it's going to get a job but you know if you actually look up with through a trickle price. 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.
8:38 pm
scientific research collaboration and respect up all the turnout in antarctica that's the agreements 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 it's for 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
8:39 pm
. from that day on antarctica has belongs to no nation. military deployment and wash it off and didn't beyond the 60 itself parallel. in 1980 and top to kill. 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
8:40 pm
one thing the shift change for russia's polar explorers. 730 just can't stand for whatever they think i didn't hear that off. the thought of it yet. though i think by what got me out of it yeah. after an 11 month tour of duty some will go home and others will take their place living and working on this continent financially they sometimes jokingly call themselves and talk to kenyans what makes them take for a year they'll work remembering a home but most of all their dreams. so
8:41 pm
even the. media could lose it can you shoot you. it's there to give you pleasure to see it. pretty. much as well it's very. close to. you just to be. honest your life. but. a word of honor roll. roll julia the letter to her. called the new. year and you're going through them or just. chased.
8:42 pm
him if he. can assure us a push my. not took your shirt read well gosh there's that cosmic significance to this. you lost the preserve of humanity. if you swallow up at least. somewhat she will praise one. years. later than you. do when you start with. if you watch us don't. we and you well you can see it's not just you think you saw. what.
8:43 pm
we featured should do it's. the spirits so we should too but you could pitch a still more neutral get a 3630 christmas. ships and humans. are and. the world is driven by
8:44 pm
shaped those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. right now there are 1000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addicted it's not at the individual level it's not individual well power and if we go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very
8:45 pm
deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's. it's hard to see what draws these people back year after year how can they stand in . 11 monotonous months of high unchanging scenery in largely male company so far from family and friends. and you will easily she's 3 where there would they. be able good to see hope and yet the show is just to do with it or the weather as you go up to free it but
8:46 pm
though you. did you could see i knew others that they wouldn't use the loo it was the year the bell boy with a little bit bigger than the shift of. 60 percent of polar explorers the 1st expedition is also met and asked for others it's the opposite they yearn to return to antarctica regain and again. why i went on to act could try conquer man i was born with a vicious thing to go turned out because. i was good long ago before if it. were a war we need to go back of course talk. i don't we were.
8:47 pm
born. 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. about without.
8:48 pm
2 the scientists of antarctica have a keen interest in absolutely everything. 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 seismological measurements i need to measure men's. ice movements and also we have magnetic measurements that's concerning magnetic fields. 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
8:49 pm
speed water snow and ice are also monitored. and if your physical observatory and the. sort of the beginning of the present work process started for them there's no i'm a data then ultimately cheat this and sort of develop this whole thing to a larger area and what i'm doing now. another subject of particular interest stones of. the type of the rockets more fit and it has if you look closely and 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
8:50 pm
consists of it and to be exact that's permafrost. would still be at he meets you can notice the world. knows that the roof was worthless lurch. it was also. one of those old slate a crazy. story. and of course the scientists always paying close attention to antarctica's flora and fauna. the water was cool is increasing the when the time for more than in europe. has consequences for the penguins. and. we've. more early. for cooler smaller crawfish your. nose.
8:51 pm
a look or food hoping. 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 fear of the states. which i doubt. me. that no scientific research atoll would be possible without one essential element.
8:52 pm
of what could that be on this remote continent. so we were. little to windows didn't see it it beats me it will sit there you little goose that on the fiesta only you 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. did. it would just shift unable to a french word. would fulfill it michigan ish which are used to their.
8:53 pm
fortunes and 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 eyes 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 1805
8:54 pm
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 is how severe. cyclonic storms get started.
8:55 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. 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
8:56 pm
train or. in the marsh in your budget. but as we know that it's about that is that it was my. god it was you who. were the pseudo it was still. 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 also it was you. know. that's a little too good to me if this is this.
8:57 pm
huge secret shape. you know the little. swedish emerge. 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 so. the. only states which. is a promise more than 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 it was dark and the station will die. the reason why your
8:58 pm
friends when folk out there instead of to real trouble is meet you have these bakers to carry very heavy loads you have to realise that the troubles of others 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 believe. that he was initiated. by its own members of the board got up with that person. so you did. or you mean your argument is you're a man but it's little. smoke
8:59 pm
coming from the meeting like the muslim on muslim problems you know better than once i've got some stuff that i. was up. that. she was you me. just. general. to go to the british. embassy. i mean. if you. took.
9:00 pm
in the stories that shaped the week frustration mounts in countries that opted for the cold pfizer vaccine with supply problems hitting europe and north america some people in the us are having to travel to neighboring states just to get. meanwhile a mass vaccination campaign kicks off in russia with its. job as an increasing number of other countries also choose to use a serbian film director gave us his take on the vaccine. every 3 to be. exposed to. good.
