penguins have hardly any natural enemies in the antarctic. during the summer months emperor penguins forage the icy waters for food. after breeding the male incubate the female single egg during some of the harshest winter weeks. the researchers often find the carcasses of penguin chicks that have died in the extreme cold. alexander vento and ben was alice take the birds body back to their lab to try to determine the cause and time of death. it isn't the use of by that i mean they probably died 2 or 3 months ago just say but you can tell by their size. these entire bodies are frozen so they've been well preserved this is of a god he's a lot of the chicks die young in these extreme conditions as if it's really tough here. so no hard to be doing here we found a lot of dead chicks that with the same size we suspect that they died at the same time maybe in a storm too small. but despite the deaths of many chicks the colonies population has remained fairly stable for years. alexander and ben wa are looking for some penguins that they tagged years

relics from the early days of antarctic research. the russian station is located on one of the few parts of antarctica not completely covered with ice. inside it's pretty cozy you can also watch russian state t.v. . the station staff are happy to welcome stranded guests. there you go i spent most of his adult life working in the arctic and antarctic. back in the 1980 s. . my had to spend the winter at the north pole. my wife was pregnant at the time my daughter was born while i was away i held her in my arms for the 1st time when she was 8 months old. the antarctic contains about 90 percent of the earth's supply of fresh water much of it in the form of glaciers. antarctica also has the world's coldest climate. one of the russians take some of the german visitors to visit a beautiful ice cave. the only way to get inside is to crawl on all fours. to the i.c.r.c. thousands of years old this part of the white cotton it appears blue. temperatures can on rare occasions even drop to minus 50. here on the coast of antarctica. the cold doesn'

by hudson 4 years ago the antarctic treaty was agreed and extended but. i see that as a good sign that it will continue to go in this direction does this interest that we still i don't see it be a good step back leads the research team. the work done here is purely scientific anything else would be forbidden in accordance with the antarctic treaty that the international community to in 1959. inspect their regular unannounced inspections to take place at the stations. so to this point there haven't been any conflicts. but considering world history one can only hope that the intentions remain purely scientific the. one big draw for researchers that is the emperor penguins. the scientists want to examine the animals breeding behavior in order to predict possible threats caused by climate change. international researchers share their results with each other. and. people always talk about the antarctic family all the conflicts that exist elsewhere in the world for by the way so i everyone helps each other and people try to get along at times under truly inhosp

first though we go to the antarctic and talk to the scientists who spend months based in the world's coldest region. right at the very south of our planet lies antarctica the continent of snow and ice. in 1911 the norwegian roald amundsen became the 1st person ever to reach the south pole the last region of earth that was still unexplored and uninhabited by humans. in 195912 nations signed the antarctic treaty pledging to use the beach and only for peaceful purposes and particularly for scientific research. today there are around 80 research stations in the antarctic used by 4000 scientists from all over the world so we wanted to know what it's like to spend months in the cold and ice and so we headed there starting at the airports close to the russian polar. search station. sky. approaching antarctica from the air. on board this aircraft are scientists from 10 different countries. they'll be spending the polar summer doing their research here . this year the team from bellaver is especially large. billow says would be a program for science and sibylla just cause more current. job us

but there has been a sizable increase in temperature in the antarctic peninsula. the arctic peninsula is the northernmost part of the continent research out there has shown this rise in temperatures has led to accelerate a glacial melting. if it's coupled with ocean warming this could have a serious impact on the sea ice where penguins live and breathe. ocean warming could also further accelerate the melting of the glaciers. this would contribute to rising global sea levels. the scientists at the new maya station are making a substantial contribution to the complex research required in these fields. but they're also studying how to grow vegetables and other produce in this harsh environment. this is the eden i assess project a high tech greenhouse that may 1 day provide astronauts with the technology they'll need to cultivate plants during extended space missions. after you've been here for a few weeks in the darkness and you've only seen white it's a wonderful experience coming in here with the smell it makes you think of being on vacation in italy when you open

is observing one of the colonies the emperor penguins breed their young during the antarctic winter. they're left on their own for long stretches so that both parents can huntress field. and then they start to form something like kindergarten they form groups to protect themselves better this investigation says that. the researchers use drones to help determine how many emperor penguins live here they've estimated the population to be over 20000 but they fear the future could be bleak. because a good thought is the danger is that this. structure of the ice that they preyed on will likely change higher temperatures could lead to less ice or it could break up . and that means breeding periods will be shorter and the adults might not have a place to meet. that kind of was important when. the effects of the climate crisis are nothing new in the antarctic record high temperatures were recently recorded here the penguin researchers are appealing to politicians to take a stand. if we can adhere to the $1.00 to $2.00 degree goals to belated in the paris agreement then this penguin species wi

their monk the most common elementary particles and a source of fascination for scientists in the antarctic an entirely observatory has been built to detect these mysterious objects. in 2015 to physicists shared the nobel prize for demonstrating that neutrinos have man but how much mass to find out researchers have developed the world's most precise scale. yewtree knows are born during nuclear fusion in the sun countless numbers of solar neutrinos arrive on earth every 2nd and that's just one source of these mysterious particles they're so puny that until recently scientists believed they had no mass at all. today we know that this subatomic particles do have a mass an extremely small one physicist magnus lesser is involved in experiments to pin it down they've already yielded initial results. yet so these measurements allowed us to narrow down the estimated mass so that the upper limit was previously to electronic votes and now we've cut that in half with we now know that you treat those have to be like to the one electron volts mass acquittal and it's hard to picture how small that is kil
