      I am afraid that she's wrong in the beginning of the video when she says that the sun never sets in Antarctica. It does set in its winter of April to August and does not rise again until September. It remains completely dark between April and August and the Arctic is the same in its own winter (October to February.)

    It's really great to see such a large commitment to planned content like this on UA-cam. Thanks!
    From the brief little clip in this video, that sounded like Nick Zentner. I wish PBS would pursue him far far further. I have watched every single lecture he has posted from the University of Washington in Ellensburg, and I'm 1k miles away in Los Angeles. He is such a great lecturer and story teller. Seriously, I wish PBS would make it possible to watch all of his public lectures.
    ....not to take away from this project though. These two kids in Antarctica is interesting too.

      I suppose your right about the duration... A month sounded to us like it would be a long time at first, but once we got there, it wasn't nearly enough!

    • @caitlinsaks4910
      @caitlinsaks4910 4 роки тому +1

      Thanks rodrigo. When we set out on this trip... well, I'll just say that this was NOT what we had planned for the first episode. But this is was our reality, and that feeling was 100% genuine (especially that first week). One of the scientists we met down there told us over dinner -- during one of those miserable days that we were stranded inside due to weather that first week -- that everybody who comes to Antarctica fails at some level. Basically saying: "welcome to Antarctica, get used to the idea that things are not going to go according to plan." That is what punched me in the gut. It's when I realized that the process of doing science down there is really brutally hard. Because stuff breaks, weather happens, you're on an absurdly tight schedule, you have only a small team to problem solve everything... And so much is out of your control. And we were in the exact same boat as these scientists -- just trying to get footage instead of scientific data. But... then, it was really truly empowering to start to figure it all out. Most rewarding and most challenging thing I've ever done. I hope you stay tuned for the rest of the series and you can be the judge of whether or not "we did it."

    I have always wanted to go to Antarctica for a summer. This may be the closest I'll ever come to that experience. Very excited.

    Spacetime told matter how to move, then I found myself here. Anybody else from my decoherent branch?

    When Space Time and It's Okay To Be Smart tell me to come here then I obey. Really glad I did.

    I was instructed to politely inform you I was sent here by Matt O'Dowd of PBS SpaceTime, and now am compelled to do so. I just subscribed, as well. This is such interesting work you do!
