you know it's possible to experience antarctica with all your senses. as you run, you get this special feeling of enjoying being on the ear earth. >> reporter: akasaka came in 41st out of 55 competitors. but he has no regrets. >> congratulations, takeshi. >> thank you. thank you. >> translator: marathons have taught me not to give up. to keep going at something. i think that's what life is all about. >> to qualify for this race a runner must complete at least two long-distance races in a desert. more runners are taking part every year. but i think i'll skip it this year. >>> all right. here's the weather forecast with sumi zushi. >> hello there. time now for your world weather update. well, first taking a look east in asia. in japan winter weather in store for much of northern areas. things really expected to intensify as we head into the evening hours. you can expect significant snowfall of up to 50 centimeters in the next 24 hours. that's going to be accompanied by fierce winds and thunderstorms as well. so watch out for blizzard-like conditions as we

we're seeing more and more of these failures and we saw part of antarctica, shed off in a few days. somebody was looking at satellite map's and away it went. that caused sea levels to rise. that mechanism is not well represented in models or understood very well. sea level rise by itself is gentle three feet of rise may not do too much but when it's couple with high tides and storms and el nino, by maybe close to a foot do things like this. this is 1983 in san diego area. and well, let's go on to the next one. that shows the actual sea level record. in the pay delta, it's not just sea level rises but the fact that we have fresh water floods. this is the level that ice street water gauge in sacramento. darn this thing. okay. those are tides. mostly a summer period, but these are floods so you can see, you know the water levels get up to nine meters there. there's a book called, conquering the inner sea which is a history of levies in sacramento valley and trying to contain the water. the fact is, this sort of thing could potentially get more frequent and potentially higher. i don't w

secondly, we all here about the poles shrinking in antarctica, based on this you see they play a bigger roll with respect to water and reflection from the sun. there are things you need to know. we don't need fearful people. many of us are managers that make hard decisions in investments we need to be empowered and knowledgeable. this looks at a state of the art of what's fake, real , fact or fiction about global warming. we have to make up indecisions, it may go 25 feet but some of us won't be here in 150 years. we have to know what's available to us in the next 25 years so you have to get in your mind the range of possibilities. finally the worst thing we can do and i'm a general manager of a water district, is to believe we are not going to have to build this investment because we could flip the switch and the trends we see will continue from ten to 20 years. you understand that? we're not going back to our customers and say we're going to do greenhouse emissions and do things to stop it. first of all, we don't control the whole world, we can only do what we can do and that's a lot s

. >> when you look at eisenhower 50 years ago he stopped the development and sign a treaty on antarcticaat is why we are not having oil refineries down there. it was an almost wholly praise. eisenhower's save the arctic refuge 50 years ago. it is important we keep these special places that defines the united states. imagine our country without its monuments and national parks. imagine if you did not have the great highway one up to the redwood country. this landscape of america is what defines us because economies come and go. politicians wanted tomine the grand canyon and theodore roosevelt said know. they wanted to build a railroad through yellowstone and we said no. unfortunately in alaska the oil industry is hovering around the arctic because there is oil down there and want to get it out of the wildlife refuge. the american people have to say no at a time when glaciers are melting and there is a wildlife protection movement. it is not a french left movement, it has been conservatives and liberals. it is people that care about nature and want to protect the great history of alaska an

just pitcher fighting in antarctica without a tent where hardly any equipment and by the way you are outnumbered 20 /1 and that is what it was like in korea. and then did not have food. the water was effectively the snow on the ground and many of them then subsisted on to its zero pops as a standing joke every reunion they go to they handout to its year-old's. >> not pops a. >> to its year-old's. you know, the point*. this is a raw card thing that had to melt in your mouth it took three or -- two or three minutes to get it melted. this is a book about survival as much as compaq and the aftermath and i hope not only to tell the unit but all those who fought that people have a better understanding of what these men went through who our great heroes to this country >> first of all, thank you for retain this book my all-time favorite relative was then the chosin reservoir and i think he felt under appreciated but my question is i'm understand the braff and the scope is about george company but do you feel the success they had spurred macarthur to push them as far north as fast as they di

>> it comes from bottles in antarctica left behind from a famous 1907 expedition.d where its original distillers are getting ready to uncork it. the bbc's james cook has more. >> reporter: for a long, long winter, the arctic pioneers called this hut home, but when these men left in 1909, having failed to reach the south pole, they left behind a precious cargo -- five crates of whisky, brandy and port. one degree at a time, the liquid gold was brought back to life. now at least the mackinleys have made it home to scotland. >> this has been under the ice for over 100 years. the temperature has been kept constant and, therefore, we feel the whisky's been preserved but we won't know that until we access the whisky. it's so delicate. >> reporter: to keep the bottle intact the distillers will use a syringe to get at the whisky. >> we'll put it on the side. and then we'll extract the whisky that way. >> reporter: they'll then analyze the liquid to see exactly how it was made. eventually, it's to recreate the shackleton whisky and serve it in bars like this one in glasgow.

it looks like antarctica. >> reporter: even though we're not even out of january, many schools are running out of their five budgeted snow day. many districts are looking at digging into vacation time or piling on more days at the end of the year and on top of all of this mounting stress, there is the physical burden and emotional toll. >> you may find me face down over here dead this afternoon. >> reporter: some psychologists point to the fact that it causes immobility and that impedes mobility which in turn causes hibernation and can contribute to depression. >> just the forecast for it can be a trigger for some people. >> reporter: many people are already starting to feel the winter blues. this pile behind me will likely be stacked a few inches higher on tuesday as you already know when we get more snow. dan? >> all right, linsey, thank you very much. so how bad is the storm going to be? let's turn now to jackie meretsky. jackie, good morning. >> thanks, dan and good morning. here's where the storm system is starting. right in california with mountain snow and coastal showers. the real

just kind of picture fighting in antarctica, basically, without a tent, without hardly any equipment at all. and, oh, by the way, you're outnumbered 20 to 1. and that's sort of what it was like in korea. and in many cases these men didn't have any food, they were, their water was effectively the snow on the ground. many of these men subsisted on tootsie roll pops. you know, it's sort of a standing joke at every reunion that these guys go to, they hand out little tootsie rolls to each other. >> not pops, tootsie rolls. >> but you know the point. as you mentioned, bob, this is a rock hard thing that had to melt in your life. it took about two or three minutes just to get this melted, basically. so it was a, you know, this is an extreme, this is a book about survival as much as it's about combat. it's a book about war and its aftermath, and i really hoped with "give me tomorrow" to tell the story of this small unit, but also try to tell the story of all those who fought in the korean war so that people would have a better understanding of what these men went through. these men are great

there was a lurch/detective frank cantor to cut from the japanese station in antarctica, enough to think that they think that there really was a test. what south africa got in return besides them and no support for its effort was a certain amount of tritium. and i think that fact alone makes it clear that they were working on more than the world war ii type bombs. in any case, with the end of the cold war, this is my point. the cuban troops went home from angola. that trip was relieved. south africa by then had come an international pariah and didn't like to be in that situation. and this is perhaps an uglier side of their decision to eliminate their arsenal. they didn't want to turn nuclear weapons over to the black african government that was about to replace the white government. they not only destroyed the weapons. they also destroyed all of the documentation of the engineering papers and so forth, thereby they hope preventing any further development of a nuclear arsenal in their country. with all that said, they still represent the first country with a nuclear arsenal to voluntarily
