    Most interesting film ever.
    Loved the 360° view of being able to pan and tilt in all directions.
    Thank you .......... ☆☆☆☆☆

    Cool! I knew a great old guy who was down there in the early years, he was involved in the startup and operation of the reactor. His son still has the plaque from the first air-cooled condenser for the turbine. Quite the interesting and flamboyant character.
    Our family doctor went there and managed to need an operation; being the only physician, he had to instruct others to do it for him at the time.
    I always wanted to know more about the place. Thanks.

    My friend was stationed at the McMurdo military barracks. He said they had a soda vending machine that doled out beers. He was passenger during a very bad crash there.

      I remember those vending machines and that plane crash. I was there for operation deep freeze 87-88. That season they also flew out a plane that had previously crashed. It took 15 yrs to dig it out, (the plane was completely covered in snow), repair it and eventually fly it out.

      Are you sure there are military barracks there? The Antarctic Treaty prohibits military programmes.

    Sign on dashboard, passengers must wear seat belts. Passengers are not wearing seat belts. If someone runs into them or they crash they will not be insured.

    Why is it impossible for Americans to pronounce ANTARCTICA? They say it and often write it like: Antartica. There is an extra letter C in there.

  • @christmassnow3465

    Feel like i'm standing there with the 360° view. I'm curious how those who stay spend the winter - do they grow their vegetables inside grow-rooms? What happens when facing a medical emergency?

    • @schmetterling4477
      @schmetterling4477 3 роки тому +1

      Medical emergencies are tough. There used to be only telemedicine and the doctor(s) on the station until 2015, I believe. Nobody could fly in and out during the winter. Now they seem to have monthly flights to McMurdo even in winter. The way I was told is that the planes have to keep running their engines while on the ground. So it's basically a touch-down, unload, load, take-off run against the clock.

    • @nathanwahl9224
      @nathanwahl9224 3 роки тому +1

      Our family doctor ended up going there, and managed to need to operate on himself, or instruct others to do it. Appendix, I think.

    • @twocyclediesel1280
      @twocyclediesel1280 8 місяців тому

      The vast majority of Antarctica is in low resolution due to the bright, often featureless, ice and snow making high-resolution imaging both difficult and largely unnecessary.

    • @teeanahera8949
      @teeanahera8949 7 місяців тому

      The word is *supposed. It is almost empty. What are you on about? A continent almost as big as America and there are a few bases, that sounds pretty empty to most people. It is viewable on Google Earth.

    • @fredericklockard3854
      @fredericklockard3854 6 місяців тому

      I’m not sure which version of google earth you’re using but I see it clearly. Lots of ice and wait for it……….snow. A huge white sheet. How is it hidden?

    Everywhere this is posted there is the indication that it is in VR (yes it was acquired and produced in VR). However, when I view it, I can't get the VR to engage on 3 different devices using 3 different browsers - am I doing something wrong or is just not flagged correctly for VR playback?

    I feel like it would be nice to be there away from all this EVERYTHING, we don't have to worry about racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, all the other bigotry I missed, and politics, the only exception to this is only slightly possibly to be considered the peaceful race to see what research is from which country are better at snow related activities, sounds like the only place on this planet that the evil part of humanity hasn't gotten to yet, only the good part, what a peaceful place

    Odd that there's zero sign of the sprawling city near it. Given the slow drip of information disseminated, I expected to see at least a skyline.
    Nothing on the pipelines either. Odd.

      Sprawling city? It’s a base in Antarctica ffs. A skyline? What was that horizon doing during half the video, a cardboard cut out? The only pipelines are the ones they drag out 5km every Summer is to fuel up the planes that land.

      @teeanahera8949 7 місяців тому

      You know zero about anything. It is incredibly rare to snow in Antarctica. It is a desert, their annual precipitation is less than 5mm. Any snow you see is just blown around from what was left hundreds of thousands of years ago. Al Gore was right in that it will melt and the glaciers are calving faster than in recorded history.

    amazing video of this community that might forgot the rest of Planet Earth's suffering ! - Perhaps it was nicer that half of the budget goes toward the peace, and making technology to feed the hunger on rest of the planet. Also not sure why American military is doing in this place?

    • @oneperson5760
      @oneperson5760 4 роки тому +2

      Peace comes from inside people's hearts and it costs nothing, so spending less money on science won't help 'peace'. Instead of lecturing scientists who are trying to advance humanity, maybe instead put some of your personal effort into encouraging people around you to be peaceful. If you're concerned about a lack of peace somewhere else, go there and see if you can convince the unpeaceful people to turn to peace. I think you'll find that unpeaceful people are that way by their very nature and you can't do anything to change their circumstances. So, live your life, mind your business, and make peace a priority in your immediate surroundings.
