i loved the editing, sharp cuts to illustrate a narrative, longer shots to show the beauty of the continent. cudos

HAPPY NEW YEAR DW! Thank you for all your films! Love you

Thanks DW for fulfilling my request of an Antarctica episode after watching the Arctic ones! Highly appreciated. LOL

When major powers talk about Peace, I know it's 'Peace my @$$'

24:40 "Tissue samples" LOL

such a well made documentary...thanks dw

WOW, that was so well done it felt like you were there, thanks guys

Now Antarctic needs to be saved, but from humans, if we leave it alone nature will take care of it.

Are there no weapons here? " no, not that I'm aware of" old we all know what that really means!

Im very much glad and happy to see everyone get along so well. ❤😇

I love all of these documentaries!!!

Amazing great job - survival for wonderful life - wonderful world - beautiful neighborhoods - and for our generation - Thank you for team hardworking - the level knowledge and excellent beautiful mentality for us, without boundary.

I haven’t seen the video yet, but that was one hell of an opening!

Breathtaking. Beautiful. Sad. Frustrating. Hope. Faith.

Masterpiece and lodestone video... Truly spectacular

Thank you DW.

Watching from Zim...hope constant human presence will not destroy the jewel...

There is also a station from India 🇮🇳. Two of them.

Love DW! Just the best! Thank you.

Thank you for the wonderful video. It's nice to see what is happening in the other side of the world. All the best from Korea. I hope that there will be more contents like this!

I just watched Eight Below a week ago so I'm naturally interested in this doc

Thank you so much for such documentary! Indeed! But, please, fix the time lag with subs, if it is possible :) And i wish a Happy New Year to all your team! 🎄

I enjoyed this documentary very much !

thanks DW , for amazing work

Peace… Shalom… Salam... Namaste and Thank You for All that you are doing to Heal our Mother Earth 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮️❤️

Voiceover: "Covered in ice, 4 km deep" KZfaq subtitles: Temperatures can drop to minus 93 degrees Celsius

Thank you so much for this bright documentary, it's of a great help for me in my current research , muchisma grarcias, I liked the use of my two favorite lges

Thank you DW 🥰

Thnaks for this hardcore documentary.

Excellent information ; most of them were unknown to me or many people. Good to see human cooperation to save the Earth.

The only co-operation i see in the Antartic is it being sliced up between competing nations ready for exploitation without threat of war so we have learned something i suppose?

DW thanks for your documentaries, very informative.

When freshwater finishes elsewhere, the big superpowers are coming for this.

Loved this documentary excellent work.. From Pakistan 🇵🇰

Getting colder on the surface maybe, but the ice is melting from underneath. Surprise! No one has any business claiming land in Antarctica. Look at the Drake passage - someone else was there before him, but there we go...

11:53 we have a shot at saving Antarctica, we’ve made mistakes other places.” You are the mistakes!

Amazing documentary! Loved the intro about Syria:D. So true!

The penguins, whales, seals, and sea lions need to form a rebellion or revolution

The things that I have learn from you are important and inspiring. Thank you

Are those birds circling the waves at the beginning Albatrosses?

Brilliant! Only here. Thanks DW

I was a bit disapointed when i found out this was not about massive monoliths found under the antarctic ice. But still a nice docu.

DW produces so much wonderful content. So glad that I found this channel a few years ago.

How can they say it's getting cooler there when last Feb one of the stations recorded a record max temp of 20o Celcius. They were playing volleyball in their singlets!

This land should be no claimed from any country in the earth this belongs to the nature and its animals to leave.

Thanks DW for this great documentary which amongst other things provides detail insight into the human beings and our destructive tendencies towards nature in our quest for additional resources even if the ones we already had have because a curse to us. I wish the consensus ban on mineral explorations in the Antarctica will last for another 1million years. Why looking to prospect resources even in the Antarctica when we know for certain that such actions would bring us closer faster to our own destruction via climate change? Oil giant British Petroleum (BP) has sold off and left the Arctic Alaskan because the permafrost supporting the oil extraction infrastructure is warming and thawing fast that in few years everything could collapse. Is this not suppose to be a lesson to seriously consider before commencing another exploration activities in the Antarctica? When do we ever put sustainability first before profits?

Thank you making this documentary and all the others.

Watching from philippines

Great music in this document.

Thanks for documents (from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇦🇿)

The perfection of this place and it's organized system which has been functioning long before man stated his so called claim. It points to no other than the higher power, it been doing good without human assistance, it doesn't need us we need it. All praise belongs to God.

Tks for the present contents.

Another great documentary. Thanks for these

As renewable energy, I love to write as a hobbiest about all future industrial processes, friendly with nature, which I mean that the adventure of being in the Antarctic, puts a constructive chip, sometimes. In contrast to certain ambiguous behaviors of the human condition, Antarctica unites scientists, constructive human creativity.

As a Spanish speaker learning English, it's kind of funny to have to ignore the bits of Spanish speech to concentrate in the English.

Many , many thanks D W . A light in the fog of illusion and confusion . Shame that the Beeb did not follow your example .

"Covered in ice 4Km deep"

4:43 The "Drake Passage" was 'discovered' (?) by Sir Francis Drake 50 years after "Francisco De Hoces" sailed it in 1525. Got it. Really enjoyed the documentary and learnt something new.

- Where are you from? - Antarctica - oh sorry to hear that.

23:12 I didn't realize Edward Norton's grandfather in the lower left was a great British explorer.

17:35 LOL@ "No, there are no weapons here on Deception Island"

Hungry humans destroying what we need to survive, madness.

As an environmentalist and working in the environmental field I have always wanted to visit Antarctica. I am aware of the impacts tourists can have on pristine environments. How about having the tourist do some volunteer work with the scientists. Make it compulsory so that only people that are really passionate about the environment would go.

As climate change takes effect, nations will lay stakes and fight for dominance in resource rich areas and trade routes worth billions which will have a devastating effect on the water and air quality and the native animals in those areas.

Amazing.

Ideal cooperation ! ☝️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼☺️

When I watch these documentaries about our Southern border,I'm more and more amazed. They only show what they think we need 5o see and know. But I always ask,what could they have found out that made all the the countries come together and sign a traety ? !! A treaty that still stands today . What about those early explores? Why did they look so disillusioned after reaching that southern point? Could it be that they finally found and realized a very serious and life changing FACT ?!!! SOME of them after visiting this place and seeing things NOONE else has seen yet ,changed and died broken. I will ask why until we know the whole truth .

What have we learned so far, that we will never learn.

Great documentary, and yet a sad one because of the greed of mankind.

Loving the recent documentaries. Svalbard and Antartica are cool places. Would be nice to see Svalbard. I love seeing extreme locations on Earth. For example, Death Valley in my country (US.)

Thank you.

BEAUTYFUL AMAZING NATURE HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 🙏🙏🙏

It is truly cold in winter and harsh weather some parts have in the center tiny areas that the wind circles and the temperature is nice valleys natural.

What band is playing in the intro of this documentary?

Whenever it is that they are saying peace, peace then sudden destruction.

Beautiful

28:16 thats one happy penguin

Great soundtrack too, the composer knows their shoegaze :)

Awesome

I congratulate this group for their accurate representation of Antarctica. I concur with many of their conclusions. The situation with visitors is out of control, I know because I was one. In 2010 I was a guest aboard the cruise ship "Star Princess" to Antarctica. Fortunately we never disembarked, the reason given that there were too many of us (3,000) which simply was not possible to do. I had no problem with that because all you could possibly do is trample about and take photos of penguins. But you would inflict serious damage to the land by allowing hoards of humans to just mull about. I think some people just want the right to say they set foot on Antarctica. The place is so huge, just being next to it in the water is just as good. Another point they alluded to, frankly it is dangerous to go there. At times it is so calm and serene you will be taken off guard and suddenly, I mean in seconds your life is in danger. I am talking about being simply on a ship. We were cruising the Gerlache Straight when katabatic winds hit with tremendous force such that our 900 foot cruise ship was listing so badly that you could not open doors. They had to block off the deck on one side as the captain suddenly had to turn the ship around on a dime within just a matter of minutes. Later I learned that we were being blown off course and were headed into uncharted waters, which they mentioned in the video. The captain was in no mood for exploration, thus we successfully turned around. His skilled actions probably saved our lives as we were at risk of capsizing right there. It would have been another "Titanic" outcome. The water is so cold people could live for only 10 seconds if you go overboard. So, that said, it is the most beautiful place on earth, and while the videography was amazing in this documentary, nothing is close to actually being there. It is profoundly spiritual. As we headed out, I took my last look and vowed to never return. I loved the place that much.

This was better than any movie, any day.

Hopefully by the time in 2048 when the antarctic treaty expires young people who care about the planet will grow into politics to fight off the greedy oil barons. It starts with educating people now, so thanks DW and all documentaries who spread the truth.

Thank you dw

Excellent comment! Provoked much reaction! Keep up the good work my friend
