  • Its not just the animals who have a hard time at the south pole, the humans living out there do too, as the hardy souls at the Antarctica scientific research post prove. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

      @@louismarlow53 he wouldn't know. Civilians are limited and scientist are limited to the daylight period. Antarctica is now a cryogenics laboratory that worked with epstine they quit focusing on exploration now its purely genetics and space. No more drilling no exploring just harvesting genes and chromosome2 for the wealthy. Antarctica is now the most corrupt place on earth. I'll give you a little hint go look at all the people on Jeffrey Epsteins ledger and see what they all have in common. They all travel back and forth to Antarctica for genetic and stims. There is already whistleblowers making statements about the cryogenics lab used to preserve stims and chromosomes. Epstein wasnt a "sex trafficker" look at where he went he brought all the children to the lab. Trump, the Clintons, Obama, prince Henry, prince Andrew, Kenneth Copeland, Bill Gates and many more took multiple trips a year some as many as 100 times a year. Antarctica is not a research facility anymore but a hell hole that murderers children. The whole operation is government funded this is why the DOJ wont release the classified douncumts. I am a marine life biologist and worked in Murdock for 8 years on and off. People dont understand how may labs I dont even know anything but i seen enough. I fear for my life every day i know they will get me but I do not care I am spreading the word until they get me. America needs to demand the truth before it's to late. There are so many new genetic laboratory's but the satellites images are blurred or completely blank to hide them.

While I’m not sure how a thriller movie about a thawed out shapeshifting alien in Antarctica that absorbs and then mimics its human victims is “voodoo bullshit,” I would think that anyone who’s graduated from elementary school can figure out that both the movie and the excellent short story it’s based on are pure science FICTION. Now try to take it easy. 😊

    Regarding the dogs, I believe "Life in the Freezer" was filmed before 1994. As of April 1, 1994, dogs were no longer allowed in the Antarctic.
    ARTICLE 4
    of ANNEX II TO THE PROTOCOL ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TO
    THE ANTARCTIC TREATY | INTRODUCTION OF NON-NATIVE SPECIES, PARASITES AND DISEASES
    2. Dogs shall not be introduced onto land or ice shelves and dogs currently in those
    areas shall be removed by April 1, 1994.

    the perfect place for conspiricy's Antarctica---->
    I would think that if any place was having resurch into zombies actualy being done, it would make sence to do it in antarctica. resons are obvius. if one was to get outside of a facility, it would be frozen solid in the cold so it wont have a chance to wonder off, and also just how desolate the entire continent is that an outbreak in antartica would not even show up on any worlds county radars. they are so isolated. heck that goes for any kind of wacky resurch your mind could dream up can be done in antarctica and no one else would ever be the wiser. want to have a secret space program, why bother having a bunch of lookyloo's spying on area 51 when you can launch them out of a secret base surounded by an entire continent of ice and snow with no one around for thousands of miles! Want to keep an Alien space sumit hush hush from prying eyes from finding out, do it in Antarctica! Want to test new teleportation tech. do it in antartica.

    :'( Why are the dogs left without even a wind breaker? I understand that they acclimate, and if they're brought inside then outside again it can kill them, but really, that just looks so cruel, I fell terrible for their wet noses, eyes, and sensitive paws (they're not as durable as most are head to believe). I'm betting they're forced to stay out in the dark days, too, left on a chain and not given a chance to find shelter if they want it.

    • @Trampflick
      @Trampflick 10 років тому +7

      As far as what I've read, they burrow into the ice which shelters from wind and insulates them. Who know's..they might have it better than the researcher do; I mean, dogs are pretty awesome.

      Its not like they just stand around like that all day bro. Likely they have some nice doghouses, people sometimes use old freezers. They isolate temperature very well, huskies are very hardcore when it comes to winter. It's similar weather up north you know. Husky owners know what they're doing, and they need their dogs in good healthy condition in order to mush with them.

      When they have their own shelters the snow collects inside and can bury/suffocate them in their sleep. It's just as well that there are no dogs in Antarctica any longer.
