arctic. this strip of coastline was once covered with ice but the nearby glaciers are melting so we can see more and more of the land that lies beneath them. some researchers predict starting in 2050 the arctic will be ice free in summer so what will happen to the region is all that ice melts. this for. almost a week to rise in sea level. the arctic helps to determine the climate for a much wider area including parts of the us due to climate change due to the ice free feeding. the wall maps the retreat with the arctic in the center. that will cause massive changes here and in other parts of the world. i think. the biggest challenge facing the whole in the future. a challenge or an opportunity during the summer after the ice has melted but to taishan blooms along the coastline animal bones indicate that wildlife has returned . more and more scientists are coming to the region and several countries have claimed mining rights how will those rights be allocated. geologists can now study land that used to be covered in ice land that is rich in natural resources. the competition for the arctic treasure is fierce. these resources include oil natural gas and rare

arctic won't survive. and with me i have clear fice and she's a researcher at climate analytics a nonprofit organization that advises governments on climate negotiations welcome to you clear now we heard the people in the small town in norway are looking for swift decisive action from world leaders when they need for this urgent climate summit at the un what from your perspective are the most urgent priorities. well i think important to remember a few years ago governments agreed to limit woman talking point 5 degrees that's what the science tells us there's an important limit beyond which climate change impacts would really be devastating but if we look at where we're currently headed according to the pledges that governments have put forward that would take us to about 3 degrees by the end of the century which would really be far far too high so the hope is with this summit that governments will be pushed into more climate action now of course there are some governments that haven't taken on board this message yet so governments like the u.s. and brazil are still not responding to the urgency of our other

off for the north pole on what's being described as the biggest arctic science expedition of all time. the plan is for the german researchf what the aim of this expedition is but tell us more. this is an enormous undertaking by the germans and of course they cannot do it on their own so they need the support of the international community, the russians, chinese, the swedes are all ending icebreakers to support this ship but it's going to leave norway this evening, it will head to the russian side of the arctic, the siberian side and then it will find a suitable place to lock itself in the ice. the ice is very constrained at the moment, it's midsummer, we are about to announce probably the second lowest arctic ice extent in recorded history so it's very slim at the moment but they will find a place and then they willjust drift, they will cut the engines and drift. so when you say they are going to lock themselves in place, they will not be deciding the direction of travel, they will go where the ice ta kes travel, they will go where the ice takes them. with the ice. the general drift from the siberian side to the north—ea

materials in the arctic the race is on to exploit the region's oil and gas reserves and in the ocean depths life valuable not made of manganese but bringing them up is no easy task. researchers from germany's federal institute. 4 geosciences and natural resources are hoping to find treasures on the ocean floor using this device. on top of the device is lowered for 4 kilometers until it reaches the ocean floor where it deploys a probe into the seabed it's open at the bottom and penetrates about 40 to 50 centimeters deep into the sediment then this flap closes and it's hauled back to the surface the whole procedure takes about an hour and a half. time and again they set out on the pacific to discover just how many natural resources can be found on the seabed they're looking for pieces of rock called manganese nodules they don't only contain the trace mineral manganese but also other valuable metals such as cobalt essential for the lithium ion batteries in electric cars and smartphones. since 2006 german scientists have been exploring 2 sections of an area between hawaii and mexico. and it's important for countries with few natural resources like germany and south korea to stan
