This up a sort of stuff they don't want. You to know was brought. You buy diner trap, safe, silent and simple. It's a flying, insect trap that captures and kills mosquitos and other flying insects. The diner trap insect trap. Let you take back your yard without using chemicals, pesticides or propane its engineered for three way: protection against mosquitos and other flying insects, but don't take our word for it for twenty percent of all products visit, diner, trap, dot com today and enter the promo code, DD pod. Twenty, that's de T, P, o d to zero, brought to you by IBM nice days, can come of the hidden cost, seasonal allergies. So the weather channel is using IBM, lots and predict local allergy risk up to fifteen days out, get out to incite Watson on the weather, Channel app and whether dot com
when you are thirsty, ghosts and government cover ups histories unexplained events. You can turn back now learn stuff. They don't want you to know. I welcome back to the show. My name is met and then- and we are here as always- without a super producers nor the Iceman Brown Anal. So everybody just off on the top you just wanted to let you know, I got a vaccine, t death, but there a t depth, specifically it is supposed to help you out with tetanus diphtheria and whooping cough, and there is a specific reason that you need to get this vaccine that is happening in my life was pretty awesome. Anyway, I seem to be having some kind of reaction that is not usually what's happen when you get this vaccine had a fever of one hundred and one point, seven and swim about off ten out of that failure
Sir wrapped in cotton, a bit yeah. So yeah. I remember you are telling me that about one in one hundred people have a reaction that you're having well ok. I can't I can't see With authority, that is true, I was told by a gentleman on the leader of this building. Yesterday after I was cause, he have get on the elevator. While I was moving my arm round because the injection site is on your upper arm and it's very, very sore and there's about when you forever period where your arm is forced to hurt? And you know I was awkward Lee moving my arm round when he got on the elevator any Saigu. Would you get a vaccine like I said? Yes, hurts you. They were kind toxicity to happen. You old man. You know there's about one and one hundred chance that you're gonna get a fever like I did. I was like what got home guess what it meant, It follows that dude cursed me. Maybe he did
maybe maybe he insulted you somehow how well this guy I've met. Few described the word to describe. And someone? Would you describe them? As a doctor, I couldn't say, hook see he I believe he lives in this building. But who knows there all kinds of different, an amazing people, it ll appearance and then also makes this building is huge. Yes, sir people no one else knows lives here, Ray out in the nooks and crannies, the unexplored areas of the of this gargantuan thing, and today we are talking about unexplored gargantuan things. Now, We hope that you appreciate the show, because there has pushed himself a little bit closer and closer to that death's door Kosovo is a dangerous, really do this right now, for the first time
there was a single tier caviar drive, it appears to be blood, blood, sweat and- and maybe it here so man- that's! No! That's that's gonna go like respected, cool, so we're we're gonna get through this episode to tell you some exciting stuff before, hopefully my Co host and producer math Madman, Frederick Surname for today I passes- to the great beyond how men are a cool. Let's get through this no pressure, let's just make this the best one and so on by way of an introduction joking right, you'll be fine, I don't know I thought I would be very much faster than this Maybe I'm just on a downward spiral, we'll find out. What's call me a little delirium noise helps issue. Yes said I didn't sleep, there was great.
Have you ever so remains of relieving, while this is gonna, be the new favorite. So there's this book that I really enjoy called the ATLAS of Remote islands and M for everyone who is a book lover in the audience and there's nothing. Would not been ample clever costs. A lot of books are terrible, let's face it. There are so many Athena. I mean we're not paid to be someone's english teacher. We don't have to pretend that every book is amazing. The world is just lousy with books that you know we're not going to be your favorites, it doesn't mean that they themselves are objectively. Bad just means enough for you suffer it in every. Often you run into something on the other side of the spectrum, a book that is so amazing that you can't even hold onto it, because you continually give it to other people saying I will you please check this out. This reminds me of you. Whatever you say, we cannot become
part of your worldview. Almost almost and the ATLAS of Remote islands, which is. More of aid travel log than an actual atlas. It's it's just this book of up to fifty Mb and very small islands and a small one to two paragraphs story about their history. While I was reading this book at least the first time when I became really captivate Were the islands in the southern hemisphere? Not just you know that this scattering sparsely popular The tiny islands in the oceanic area, but also any more so the inhospitable. Erin Places, the closer you get to Antarctica more, it seems as though the net World is telling you turn back
you know and that's what we're talking about today. We are talking about an article, the most mysterious continent. That's right, Let's get to some of the facts, so Antarctica is the fifth largest continent in the world is roughly twice the size of Australia, which Australia's pretty big everybody. So that's a lot of ice covered, lands, its home to seventy percent of the world's fresh water supply and ninety percent of the world's fresh water ice and displaced really cool, it's curly, the coldest And the windiest continent it possession possesses the highest average elevation of any continent, which Greece. Edges means its follow those mountains yeah, that's another, that's another interesting thing, because ninety eight percent of the land Mass of Antarctica is covered with ice and if it have the highest average elevation if it did not have those mountains, then Iraq.
Would a hundred preserving covered with ice? Well, maybe ninety nine or something big just because there will be some on the coast, I insist places met. This ice is three miles thick she's, so paraphrase so many horror movies. What lay beneath We know relatively little about this, and this week we looked at what people might find beneath the ice if it all melted away the ice in Antarctica was in two large categories is the western sheet eastern sheet? stands all across the land like some person and medieval fairy tale, and also into the surrounding ocean. So what we'd like to do is talk a little bit about some of the free. Theories and some of the concepts that you will hear related to
article n. It touches on so many other things, some of which we ve covered before and a couple of which I would consider our greatest hits or some my favorites Yes, and one of those is climate change. This is one that really gets our audience riled up one way or the other, and you I'm in a state. This point, then, I'm since it climate change, is real. This stuff's getting out of hand and rugged. I will of course, climate change is real because climate change over time. I think what a man made climate change, real is our fault and we're he added enterprise seen right the its destiny same thing, you can always- I don't know, I think it's so clever what people do in the this the televised debate, debates where its they do thought terminating cliche me. Let's call it climate change.
Is we record in this this week. One of the big things are, the big things in international affairs be d: iranian nuclear deal in everyone's like nuclear deal, nuclear deal nuclear deal, but you have to dig yourself, define the exact details, haven't you have to go onto the internet and search the mainstream. News is not really say telling the deed. Elsa stuff. The? U else just while one a rarity in this just gonna, be so brief, but I understand when people get very very emotional and angry about their there near what they see as the facts. Right and someone could we get letters all the time when someone says well, the change you again, another buzz word right, because what we're talking about is is much more intricate, but one
I'd spray, every specific things that are occurring right, exactly ocean acidification, stuff like that things that have been proven beyond rising sea levels, right right, and people were really arguing over the degree of it and the cause of it, but just throwing as words of people carry hacks the brain to get past cognitive ability and straight into the primitive reptile brain stuff, where all the sudden, the person who believes the changes, not man made or believes you know that some great Lizard Messiah is going to emerge from a volcano beneath the ocean, whatever I'm seeing it doesn't matter what We believe in theirs how you believe- and I support that belief and makes me it makes features so between Rice of Lee amused.
And incredibly sad. When I see people get for Super emotional, about a thing and think that you know if I yellow his person enough. If I'm angry enough, then it'll mare we have to ask yourself? Are you trying to persuade the person, or are you just trying to get caught up in a pitchfork party? Are you trying to express your belief I or reinforce your belief by yelling, oh yeah, yeah yeah, that's all we should look at those cyclist if no unto you know that's one will begin baseball your that's one show that I pitch for brain stuff, the show I do and day after we discuss the production teams. Stay. They didn't want me to do this episode, but it was why you can't win an argument on the internet and of the great over sir
eggs while we do it yet her boys, okay, so aside from that that ran their the forces of climate change clearly have impact of the planet and our continuing a pace and wood. A little bit now about tee the thing you about your bring up, does you can't I? answer to go without my eyes and can talk about large amounts of eyes without talking about climate change. Right, yes, so with climate change. Where we're talking about. The things that really are happening like I can imagine earlier sea level really arising you're going to rise more in the future, or at least they are projected to do so now, you might also hear people claiming that answer to go loses ice at sometimes, and then it gains it back at other times, but There's a little bit of a discrepancy there. So the whole thing This whole idea hinges on a bit of a misunderstanding. Think
think of ice entered in Antarctica as coming into different types. So you ve got your land ice annually you're sea ice. Now the sea ice itself is seasonal. It grows in the winter as it gets cold. Her then were received just a little bit in as a guest. Warm work. I mean you can disappear almost completely over summer, but it's still a saw there it just its. Like a evacuated, comparison, it's gonna Lake, person who may be loses his weight. Their variations aware there a range of essentially a range of weight. Yeah yeah, the Antarctic. It takes on during the winter and are they gonna get some waterway here? There's that executive? Yet like you, were saying, there's, there's a different kind of ice right. Yet the land, the land is, is very differently this stuff in Crete, slow
Over time and it here problem is disappearing. Now you have to imagine that the land, the ice, that's on land as is melting. Its increase the amount of water of liquid water. That's in the seas, right, the amount of frozen water, all right in the sea is part of the volume of the ocean. Absolutely that is that the sea ice there were locked him up. So, let's slits advance this for because there are probably some people were already say. No, no, no, I told you don't get it well. We are We have a plot was here that a lot of people, be aware of this. In land eyes cannot be attributed only to a changing climate, for instance, we get. Its glacier is large rapidly changing outlet of the West and Arctic ICE Sheet and it's it's been
who did by the ocean sure, of course, but it also being melted by a different, a different thing, NEA from below from the geothermal heat, that's being forced through it that match me Ben presents a whole other issue. Yeah another feather boxcar badgers yes, the boxcar badgers that are heating up the earth from the inside. What's going on all other boot of birds bag, the roots tat can of jealous, Are you do this all there? Okay, so yeah that you can check a study by researchers at the Institute for GEO Physics at the University of Texas at Austin, or you t, I e those of you love an acronym, Annette in Journal called the proceedings of the National Academy of Science so they found. They found that despite the pie,
pillar debate? As usually happens, there are other factors at play and it's not just a yes or no thing. It turns out that deal there, energy is furthermore, heat rather is changing the nature, of the continent. One thing we should say about entire together, three of Antarctica. There's just amazing is it will, only been an ice cover continent for about thirty five million years, which a bit long in the two thrice by in it green scheme of things. That's lake, that's bad! We get and if you totally come back, I used to be a sub tropical thing. That looks a lot like the modern day, Pacific Northwest for anyone who spend their cool beautiful place, their people still aren't sure what happened five million years ago because apparently, just in the scheme of things, the way this ice cross, the land cover the
these happen very quickly. We don't know, we don't know what happened and we don't know exactly how and ago works for lack of a better. Is sure we're not for lack of trying. Though we ve set up, we the human species, set up research facilities across the land income places. You don't want one things that I found freely interested was who owns Antarctica, CS. I end when you look on you can find the maps of the segments that answer to the woods, because it goes from the south, polar the, I think it's the actual I can't remember if it's the actual self poor or the magnetic somewhere. I think it's the ceremonial love for the you're. Talking about the Arctic tree right, yes, sign in Washington on ten December of nineteen, fifty nine by twelve countries to the people who signed it,
just the twelve countries who scientists have been. Around down there, they were they were. Active doing. What's called the international geophysical year of fifty seven, fifty eight, I saw it because a tiger pie Chart Yale with all the flags range rounded yet did the treaty itself is then we can talk about in detail I do. I do now argue India later we can do all we can do. It was delayed by the way. I'm sorry, I just start thinking imagining it who actually gets the study which parts in the end, if you're gonna get different research on the northeastern side, that's very different from the research on the subway. If there's a there's like a good neighbourhood of Antarctica, hurry Mary realize I don't know, I imagine if you're a biologist that answers absolutely true. May I guess depends on your field of study right sure. Today's absurd is brought by. I began
for businesses around the world. Today is an a restart. It's a rethink! That's why they're partnering with IBM retailers are keeping theirs. Up as millions of orders move on mine hunters are using IBM Watson to manage an influx of customer questions with a sigh and solution built on the IBM cloud are helping doctors care for patients remotely today were rethinking how business moved forward. So, let's get to it, let's put smart towards. Is it IBM dot com. Slash smart to learn more though, were apart. These days was sharing so Geico we'd, like say thanks thanks for sharing your savage dance moves sharing your d. I why haircut fails, thanks for sharing your inner lips ink star. Now it's our turn to share with the Geico give back. Ten percent credit on car and motorcycle policies for current and new customers, because we committed for the longer the fifteen per read it last year: full policy to visit guy
that comes less, give back for more info and eligibility. You I will go. There was an expedition that you and I talked about a few years back actual. We should get into that laser spoiler anyway, just the sort of geothermal energy if human beings build in its settlements on the continent of Antarctica and get rid of the ice? And yes, yes, where the emails come in by Minutes settlement I mean, like a nation state, I dont mean array Search Centre, which is a beautiful thing, but does not a country make and the, but if, if people ended up actually an Antarctica to if we're gonna be nationalist, the USA. Yes, where do you think? That's all and insurance yeah USA, just by the buys Antarctica
some other large corporations. Google owns Antarctica so anyway, these people easily end up power in their society by geothermal energy, which sounds like science fiction, but is totally possible. I'm now imagining the aid really goes through endless boroughs through the three miles of ice makes giant walls to keep the ice away. As a civilization, that's kind of surrounded by these ice walls array living inside the war ivy at hand. In some. To the similar to the native american groups yeah. So the thing is its assets fiction happening now just in a different country, o Iceland not the big eyes walls, but iciest. Iceland derives the majority of its power from geothermal energy. So so it's completely possible, but it's also.
HU, the nuances of and the Antarctic Climate or the long term effects are Still largely there, there is still some question, The answer is yes, because this geothermal stuff is relatively recent release, our understanding of it and the effects of this long term effects can anyway, I guess we we still don t exactly know What happened thirty five million years ago were catching up with people watching Seinfeld today, who do over there there's so much learner at least an end. Been this unless you enjoy yeah, ok, that in that case it Harrison holes are just always sour about, because you know I I had never really why, a lot of allow that stuff and then I ended up. I just started watching it and saw that moment where I realise that all for the main characters problems can be solved
by having a cell phone oh wow Strip, it will be released, communicate immediately. They fear was there. It seems, like a lot of other things, are based on timing, yeah yeah, while yet Harold struck an improper something, ah that oh, my gosh ban I thought about them, for that's huge. Is it I'm sure that somebody else and I'm sure I'm sure, but our thank you I went to New York in society, not not for them. Thing, but yours travelling as, as you know, man we, saw the Seinfeld apart. It hasn't. It was just something just something that tv company may too, as a right creation, but I was startled that so many people, like the show through pupil around the block down the street to a different story, is very crazy. I don't know if it's just the neighborhood
or if it's, that popular has a big deal. My my parents, like that and strange ever have to meet the Seinfeld Jerry Jerry felt Larry David? If they have to meet them cause our arose? I guess I did hey guys. I understand you show is quite popular and vigour ever gonna meet congratulations They may be listening now, anyway, Anyhow tangents abound in this episode. Let's move to one of the worst was cut straight to the chase, one of the, Besides, we did early on in our career together. Nazis in the hollow worth. Yes, the idea that perhaps the or there is the idea that there is a civilisation that exist below the crust of the earth and the crazy as it sounds that there is some type of inner star that powers, the civilization beneath us
and there's a powerful civilization that can that the Nazis at least thought? Perhaps a small group of the Nazis? Yeah thought could come a come from the bowels of the earth and help them win their battles because as the national socialism factions of national socialist, a K Nazis today, as they knew with a strange, isn't: Mystic really certitude d He's the denizens of the inner world were also total totally area I totally n down for the cause and re Ray and cared about what is happening. Oh yeah, between in these political, political, movers, so we did find without check out our video on the topic is that it is true.
That stuff you see on the history channel can be often disingenuous, but it is true that since the Nazi Party had an intense belief in the occult which was about where the the animal, the fool society, yeah and the even real and trying to reconstruct this new mythology, and there really were there really were government financed quest to find things. Like these hidden mystical lands like the lie. The LA hand or in the case of Antarctica, an entrance to the underworld. Yes, yes, and there was there was actually a plan to colonise part of Antarctica a means of expanding the German Wailing industry at the time
and that leads bloody, supposedly Ellie, supposedly era in Yugoslavia. By as we out as we learn as you can see. Look into some of the historical documents, available, no one, no one found any entrance start to see: there's not an extensive possible cave system in an tardy girls either. Most definitely is just because of the ice, yet nothing the time and then re freezing the melting and raising the way caves form oh yeah yeah, so there might be something there, but we have at this boy. We have little evidence of We know a little bit about What kind of life might be there, but we know very little about it. We do also have another thing we should bring up now. I think we d never surrender to match this belief in the
national socialists, Nazi Party, exploring can t take over Antarctica ties. With little known story in: U S we as well right up nation high jump, you say yes, are we chased them very? We at least followed the Nazis down towards Antarctica. Let's do oh, let's get a movie version of it. How we are you? How would you say them if you're, if you were pitching the movie version, operation, Hydro, biology, Jpg me! Ok, wherein the elevator we I've got five seconds hurry, Galleria I'll help you pitch still a signal is no, is physical director is directed at you other than no. He s we saw an aside. I used to be someone else. Let's go with Michael. They know I mean I could
be able to sell his movie right God. Yesterday he got Elvis the work of the operation of a job very well. Who is desirable. Obey so figures that I got this idea for movie. Think united. Military John Navy Giant Ships Right and you got nazi ships to write the so there this one section: Nazi ships, United. Is Navy, other ships hidden towards Antarctica right, then they get into these battles were well we're gonna make I'm gettin battles because we need explosions, Rebecca ok. So what else then oh Yes, good there. I think that I think he would go on boring, Sofie explosions, naval ships. Now ten, these ships transform yeah. Oh yes, I know you have our ship I remember who did battleship was Oliver Stone? How God
I guess it's. We were doing that in the world China can. In truth, we could tell us great stories about high operation, I jumped the thing is they would not be the truth. A wicked leaks, it has been involved in bringing our easily enough bringing up I are related to the activities at the time so, firstly, cycle what operation hijab actually was supposed to be I was led by a guy named Richard E bird. He was a rear, admiral of the: U S, Navy. Their mission was to establish a research base, the official mission with you charming name of Little America for nice. Little America for there's this globally, interesting, postcard right, and so, according to the official,
Maybe naval report, at least they had objectives at six objectives. The second of those was this idea of cancer, dating extending serenity over as much of the antarctic as they could make sense? That's what we do. That's what As with people who seem to be quite fond of, but the the wickedly ports seem to similar prove that The underlying motivation for this was not so much Lee. National Socialist Party, but the Soviets Party, the USSR, because operation hide occurred in forty six and forty seven, so that would be after World WAR Ii. Already the tail end right after we were too is concluded and
the reason. The theory that we we ve often heard is that while nazis regrouped too replace in Yugoslavia and operation I jump was part of a secret wore a secret atomic war or something. But It seems to be more of is more evidence that immediately after world war to the cold war began emir, if even before it ended rarely re. Even for it ended in there. There are different in their different interpretations of that opera. We go on to Facebook and Twitter were involved, spirits, he said I and dropped the links for anybody who wants to check out more elusive? What wicked has to say regarding up hi job now, We get one of the most exciting things, they did them
exciting thing about this stuff people fell. Fossils, intend Arctic. I swear. I smells. What also reunify one of their kind of life is gonna, be there living life we're just more fossils, We know that all the fossils had been found so far at least dollar once when you think, if large flora and fauna dinosaurs, I'll just say it. Dinosaurs, tell we're dinosaurs. We're going to find me find a dinosaur civilization, who all the fossils so far, the majority are from margins of coastal islands exposed not right places net because those, if places that all have like miles vice over them. Has the Cotonou is not always so cold because it was a sub tropical I'm it for so long.
We know that there had to be an abundance of life. I was looking for the right word. They didn't have a cursory so doing cretaceous period it didn't Roy warmer lusher climate and that Cretaceous so two hundred and forty four million years ago. It ended sixty five million years ago and those fast are pretty exciting. Just the few things we ve seen in scientists have identified a handful of dinosaurs species that they think are you if not uniquely antarctic have been identified. At least as as something that would have lived in an article, not just like single animal, but that indicates larger population. However, what you said just then, was for the most exciting thing why
why not just be looking for relics of life gone by. We find living things, life and action here. Yeah everyone who knows the size of these things. It would probably be much smaller. I grew level micro, level, life or even bacteria, maybe a little bit larger than that, because there are other places that we can can appoint to that Someone like Antarctica anyway, one place in particular we know of might hold these things. Are these keys? It's already been looked at a bit. It's this play that you may have heard of called the lake involves stock its this procedure, freshwater lake. That's buried tuna. Miles below solid ice, that's three point: seven kilometers by the way, everyone outside of Namibia and me, and it's about
the size of Lake Ontario one of the great lakes. Here in the U S, and it's the largest of the more than two hundred liquid lakes that are strong across Antarctica. Right, yes, that ice there is more than simply stone. The fossils and dead things in the other ass lakes, man, freshwater lakes that are liquid, and what we ve learned is that these lakes, created when again the geothermal heat, the energy from Earth CORE notes, the bottom of the ice sheet. This may be counter intuitive to some folks, but the thick blanket of ice on top. Says installation these lakes don't get out much no, they don't they just kind of the animal they're they're happy they liked the quiet life and ass. Perhaps why an isolated for hundreds of thousands
millions of years there Anyone something's isolated that long. Familiar with the evolution creepy. In my opinion, the creepy evolution of cave. Creatures, snow, yeah, then Oh, that hundreds of thousands well. More millions of years gives creatures space to adapt, oh yeah, and so You know, as you can assume, scientists are really excited to get into these lakes likely cross start and really do is mushroom just possible, go as deep as you can into awaken just exe worth as much as possible. Can can you imagine being scientists in discovering perhaps even a new type of life at the bottom of one of these lakes yeah yeah, I believe the academic version of tiny west you could drop all makes yelling people at me up
readings? I would interrupt people's fine, present everything arab peoples presentations on their findings, then, if you found microbial fright, but what if you found something bigger in the rivers? Lakes yes, so here yet so scientists Every to collect water samples from lake lost again this was relatively. Controversial, because what we are essentially doing when we Something like that is that we are breaking the seal on something ancient right, yeah and going through here. What the scientist found was. They found life they found living. Things in there and to me that some that's kind of well, it's beautiful, choose the interpreted is beautiful rather than ominous, but you're right, Matthey,
They found bacteria, but there are more than that to they found over one hundred multi cellular species, which is that huge, they even found some species that are generally associated with molluscs and fish. There is even one researcher who I think said: oh findings. We might even have fish in there somewhere Then he very quickly was ok. Well, maybe not fish hurry. Is it so difficult to it so difficult to present scientific findings to the ear above all it. Well, I would say it's not it's not difficult to present this stuff, the general public, because there's this great news is great error that people often make about I quote- the general public, the quoted in the common man, and that is to say that a single individual, smart, but a group is stupid. Now,
as convenient that might be as far as it might be. Your red, unlike a very negative homework card, will never see met before The fact of the matter is that people are that the people our intelligent, any cognitive Lee People- somewhere tat old story about goldfish, our our intelligence, grew to the size of its container. So human the container who framed the debate. It's not it's not that it's not that! scientists who report something and every de in the world is all the son just dumb about it. No, it said they report something, but it is dense than twisted into something that can be told in two minutes. Thirty seconds, before shifting to a picture of like a cat, accidently sneeze, while afforded which
would watch and we urge you to an extent amenities list. I dont think Lake either. I think it's just a huge dare to say that he added withdraw that might have fish thing because people wouldn't understand it. But why is probably more concerned with ways. Someone once really good headline grabbing it and running with it and say: oh yeah, I'm sure they live issue. I dont remember seeing the headline, but I'm sure it existed and so so. We do know, though, that this is excited writers. There's a great lead here. There is evidence that, compels us, because this is one of how many leagues, too, you said yeah, she wondered and party found some evidence. We already know something down their ban. That's gonna be Oh I don't know. I can't sorry to see me attacks or yeah. I cannot wait civilization, alien life, a pyramid. Let me a pyramid: are you kidding me I'll, be great I'd I'd
it'll, be you will happen. No problem Why have we not a minute, supposing I was in, say, praying? But while we wait That's the thing, though we literally dont, know it's it's such and such an exam in thing in and often we species think about space, deep space. Says as the vast unexplored territory, but the is there some eggs territory that you know Cosmic Lee in a cosmic sensor. Cosmic scale is right. Next to us world out there and I am interested to see. I am very interested in the future of Antarctica and I know you are too as well as this is one of the things that we talked about off air- there would be one of the most important coming develop. And that is who owns it. Precisely,
who will own and article in the future right. Yes, throughout the treaty, the Antarctic, treating the it started out with countries and now there are fifty two because research signing the terms of its so and scientists down scientist from research. It has a couple very big provisions. The first as the Antarctic, us shall be used for peaceful purposes. Only nuclear bases, guys Marine re. None of that. I feel it that's a tough thing to enforce, but it's not it's impossible, I'm a pain in the bright little hurry, ass, the even get a ship down there lies annoying. Will other islands in the area that are owned by
these countries as research islands may not have those same stipulations so, for instance, if you're a queen Maud islands. Yes, fire excision My land is part of Antarctica about the islands off that today also qualify and these things that are answered in the treaties, but the answers may differ certain points in time or in in territorial reckoning. Nothing is it Freedom of scientific investigation in art, again, cooperation towards that end should continue. So if. Your scientists from the? U S and know the scientists from someone, Finland and other scientists from answer by John doesn't work then known
What's really going over the countries, we should be able to cooperate as academics and scientific observation and results from Antarctica shall be made freely available snow keeping it's no saying we discuss The ruins of an ancient aiming civilization, no Intel Gregg. I actually, we probably shouldn't, tell Greg he's just gonna get so excited, knew how he is he's hurt everybody the he found it he is.
