for me, it began with a descent into antarctica. i'm climbing down into a crevasse, and it's by getting down into the ice and drilling into it that scientists are able to build up a picture of the greenhouse gases that have been building up in our atmosphere. they find bubbles like this trapped in the ice and analyse the air inside them. the ice holds a record of the climate, trapping carbon dioxide year after year, so we can see how it's risen and fallen. but the next step is working out our role in that, the human fingerprint on global warming, and that involves more recent data. getting to it took a long journey to hawaii and up an old volcano. at the summit lies a forest of instruments. one of them has measured carbon dioxide since 1958. by coincidence, that's the year i was born. so, during my lifetime, levels of this key gas have just kept rising. the most striking thing that i see in the c02 records since 1958 is that the concentration in the atmosphere has gone up every single year. so, where would this lead us? the early co

queensland and iceland before and basically this is phase one of two as i want to do a crossing of antarctica. —— in queensland and iceland. i'm not actually from the polar world. everyone from this community has been super helpful and it's a really humbling community but people outside of it were alike, what do you know about it? and i said not much at the moment. these are people, yeah, ithink much at the moment. these are people, yeah, i think i would not necessarily have people expect that and that in itself is quite powerful and that in itself is quite powerful and there were some really difficult parts but when it is so, so when the answer, so—called, and there was a lot of... it's not flat, it's uphill and there's a lot of kind of moving around which can be a few metres high, so i fella around which can be a few metres high, so i fell a few times, nothing serious. i rememberjust falling and sitting for a minute and having a bit of shelter from the wind and there are moments where i was like, oh, my gosh, why am i here? and i think it is those moments, maybe not straightaway but w

from here in antarctica, these birds that had use this exact area to lay their eggs for hundreds of years, had practically disappeared from here after scientists and zoo keepers, even people who wanted them as pets captured them and took them as far away as japan. but a decade ago, they began returning the science has shown that penguins have a genetic memory, and that they always tried to return to breathe where they were born. just to see that the director of the penguin reserve, those 2 days scientists and university mug janish are here investigating global climate change using the germs found on these penguins feathers a sensors. the reserve was created 10 years ago, which means the penguins could not be touched or moved or harmed. but scientists are warning that both the king and the emperor penguins could become extinct by the end of the century. and the reason is climate change, the increasingly warming water is even here. words freezing cold are driving fish further and further away, which means that both the emperor and chain penguins when they go out to try to bring food back to

i went to antarctica on an ice breaker. i got as far. 1 as you can before you got to get out and hike, i think it's $56.00 south peril hours something. and i was with shackleton, the great grand nephew. i don't even know what the hell that connection means. but i know he had a lot of stuff and he gave a speech body one, i wasn't even speech, it's 3 hours. i'm just sitting in the salon on this both thing and i can't get enough of this and he did. it blows my mind that he didn't lose one person mark. i mean, can you imagine that that he gets that whole? that's the most mind boggling story. i've ever heard. incredible. and you know, think about the grid that those guys had back then. and you know, how much grid to people have nowadays? quite a bit last, i mean, i don't mean to like golfing market nosebleeds when a social climb now forget the mountains their tap with the tick tock. that's one of the reasons why. i mean, i just consume all of this history and what i'm trying to do with my work is i'm, i'm trying to like, actuall

sitting in my laboratory in my office, in windsor in australia, i can still be seeing what's happening in antarctica because there are all sorts of climate effects that happen when we not bear with dr. marcello lip is an expert in dinosaurs. fossils and climate change in antartica and patagonia were chillies. antarctic institute is based, i am actually touching is 74000000 year old femina the dinosaur that lived here in pat gona and most likely in antartica. because at that time both land masses were one, it was one solid, semi tropical jurassic park. scientists believe that learning more about how and why dinosaurs like this when died, could be vital to the survival of our own species. it was that the climate change experts insist that we are at the stage where we must predict and prepare for what is coming. and he'll say, look, the key words is mediator of a patient, but we still have time to produce air i behavior more suitable with this new vision that we have to update the mitigate the changes in the, in the, in the next years we're screw chilly. will launch an international antarctic centered

three brothers approaching the summit of mount vincent, the highest peak in antarctica. hey, guys, we are three brothers, we are first time been to the vincent and we reached the summit today. wejust came back from south pole. we are the first brothers, i think, who did the south pole and vincent together. the trio marks the first nepali team to reach the south pole. it's part of their quest to conquer the explorers grand slam, a challenge that involves reaching the south and north poles, along with the highest mountain peaks in each of the seven continents. they hope to complete it within a year. translation: once we do this, | there is nothing more adventurous left to do. it's like getting a masters degree. it's an ambitious task, but these mountaineers are no strangers to a tall order. nima and dawa chnang hold the world record for being the first siblings to climb all 14 mountains above 8,000 metres. while tashi sherpa was the youngest person to climb everest without the use of supplementary oxygen. we are very good team here. five nepalese and one, our sister, from

a scientific research station in antarctica is attempting to contain a covid outbreak. at least 16 of the 25 people based at the princess elisabeth polar station have caught the virus, although all the cases have been mild so far. new arrivals have been suspended until the outbreak eases. more than 20 people have been rescued after spending a night trapped in two cable cars in the us state of new mexico. the sandia peak tramway, in albuquerque, became stuck because of icy conditions. those on board — all employees of the company and a restaurant at the top — were supplied with food, water and emergency blankets. denmark has announced plans to end the use of fossil fuels on domestic flights by 2030. in a new year address prime minister mette frederiksen said flying must be made green but acknowledged the target would be hard to meet. denmark had already announced plans to reduce carbon emissions by 70% of 1990 levels by 2030. after almost three decades, football fans will now be allowed police are appealing for information after a man was shot in the stomach in liver

now scientists are on a mission to a giant glass here in antarctica, trying to get a better idea of just how much it is being impacted by climate change. they will use under water robots to get beneath the flights glass. here it is actually referred to as the doomsday glassy because it would raise global sea levels by $65.00 centimeters if it were to collapse and melt. and recent research shows its hemorrhaging more and more ice these days. it is enormous. 192000 square kilometers on the west antarctic ice sheet. as a comparison, it's basically the size of great britain, his current hayward lead scientist on this project who explains exactly what they are now trying to uncover. it's an enormous gas yet, and if it did completely melts, then it would lead to $65.00 centimeters, a global sea level. so spread across the whole, the blow. but we don't think that's going to happen in your lifetime of mine. nonetheless, it's really important to understand when it might start to collapse and, and to get a better idea of the sea level rise that we might experience in our lifetime that, that makes
