they have managedzb=átz get 48 people off that stranded ship in antarctica.u say it's stuck in ice since christmas eve. they have another four passengers to get off along with a hundred kilos of equipment and luggage and then the mission is complete which is absolutely fantastic. you mentioned the weather. it's been a problem the last couple of days and that deep ice clear, beautiful skies today f which has allowed the chinese helicopter to make its way to the russian research ship and fly those passengers to the australian ice breaker. from there they will go to a place in antarctic and makewg their way to australia. these people certainly very happy to be off that stranded vessel. >> you got to believe that. what a process and when a journey for them so far. what can you tell us about how on the passengers are doing now that they know they are safe? >> west look. at the end of the day these passengers have been extremely fortunate with food and water supplies and everyone has been in good health. in fact, if anything, it's been a good news vor. we saw them

it's cold in antarctica, it's cold down there. and you know, there are some interesting scientific questions about what happens to sea ice in the periphery of antarctica. it's actually a subtle problem. because you can actually build up more sea ice when the oceans warm up, and there's more moisture in the air over the ocean, over the overlying air, you can actually get more ice. and the climate models actually predict more sea ice over antarctica, was that's a small increase. and you contrast that with, you know, more than a 50% decline in arctic sea ice, which is the real problem, because there's a very large trend that's taking us in a direction where we will see the disappearance of the arctic sea ice environment in a matter of decades, if we continue on this course. >> although on the upside, we'll be able to drill for oil there, so everything's coming out swimmingly. climate scientist michael mann, thank you very much. joining me now, sam cedar, and eric boulder, media matters. i'm fascinated by the phenomenon of the fact th
