Ice cubes, to give your whisky awesome age. Some people would buy it, could fund half the science. As for the 20,000 year old nasties - they're all around us all the time anyway, unleashed from melting glaciers and permafrost. It's newly evolved nasties you need to worry about.
If there's something I've learnt from Lovecraft is that they're just about to awake an aeons-old monstrosity that will most definitely put an end to mankind.
This is just the right way to show the science being done - no whiteboards, no equations, just a bunch of people doing the best they can, meanwhile having fun, but simultaneously being professional, precise and thoughtful all around... This is just cool *chuckles*!
im taking my first AP physics class next year, but i have been watching you guys for years now, and hopefully i wouldn't get swamped with math i dont understand yet. (im only in algebra 2 and Greek letters scare me to death)
In glaciology they talk about ice losing its typical solid state when the pressure from weight above exceeds what it would be a few hundred meters below the surface. That allows the glacier to move on a bed of ice that is more fluid than ice that would have formed on the surface. So, now I'm confused. That core was solid, yet it came from over 1000 meters below the surface. Did the core refreeze back to typical ice after being depressurized when the drill relieved pressure overhead? Or is that more fluid solid state preserved even when pressure is relieved?
I know this is very off topic, but I would really like to know how elements are formed. I know that nuclei are created in stars via fusion and released in supernovae, but how do they get their electrons? And once they get their electrons, do they make molecules just after that or are they left in a monoatomic state? Also, what's a Feymann diagram of the interaction between a proton and an electron attracting? I know how repulsion works in QED but I haven't found anything about attraction.
So is this at the Amundsen Scott base? For a bit I thought I could see mountains in the background which would obviously mean it is not at the South Pole but then I decided it must just be snow piling against the sides of the tent.
Which is why you won't use the stuff on the surface of the ice cores. They're thick, so you can have a buffer zone of stuff you're just not going to use. You basically just use the cores of the cores.
+Robot Yep, but they will not use the ice on the surface. There will be a buffer zone where from no data is collected, exactly because it will be contaminated.
Also letting it sit on the surface for a year before processing... Any trapped gases would be completely contaminated via diffusion. Though probably still ok for testing trapped dust and maybe some oxygen and hydrogen isotopes.
A bit random. But I'd love to see more women in those field projects. I've seen my colleges fall through like there is some kind of mesh leaving just very few in the end. Women give a different vibe to an all male environment :)
I have a question to ask the Doctors: if Light does not have Mass, how does the event horizon of the black hole prevents light from leaving a Black hole?
Nikolai Tsakov Several methods. You can use cosmogenic nucleotides, which are isotopes created from bombardment of cosmic rays while the snow is on the surface or buried shallow. You can find layers of ash from volcanoes in the ice and date that as a proxy. You can check the hydrogen/deuterium vs Oxygen-16/Oxygen-18 ratio across the length of the ice core and curve-match it against pelagic varved sediments. And last but not least, if the ice hasn't gotten severely deformed by ductile flow, you can simply count layers; because every winter you get a little bit of snow, and every summer some snow get sublimated by solar input, thus forming yearly layers.
hamstsorkxxor dude you need to be out there educating. Tell me you're an educator. Science discovery is great but in this...unique...political climate we need people like you educating.
That is how they make cheap portable cameras have a wide field of view. If he had a flat lens you'd only see his nose when he's holding his camera out at arms length filming himself.
Heh, big irony in that statement since as soon as you take any image you lose so much reality. 2d vs 3d, limited fov, colours etc. Think they pick the lens that's best of both (or least worse). Not too much fishbowl, but decent fov. But it's personal taste, just like in video games where often you get to choose fov.
Do you really think that uman beings from the tropics to live over there for a week I don't think so I live in Puerto Rico I would love to try like a reality show just trying to hike from the what you call it from the shore to the base where is the scientist and we will make it like a marathon or a race and it will be like a we will have to make a message or bring the split the u.s. postal office then to play that's put a challenge to anybody who wants to do it that will be humongous
Well he was quite annoying with his inane comment. "Well he was quite annoying with his inane comments. 'Ermahgerd it looks like vanilla ice cream hahahaha'."
coming from someone who clearly doesn't appreciate insight into the scientific process. the research being done here helps us understand the athmosphere, further our understanding in climate, geology, in some cases even biology. this is peak physics, so get off your high horse
Wow, I had the same feeling about those young rapscallions, whom I identify as "highly qualified learners", rather than scientists of any sort. It comes over as if we were chosing "incompetent" people who just do and don't ask mouch - heck, if I were in Antarctica, as a materials chemist and physicist I'd want to test some things for my own. Those guys don't show a single hint of curiosity - they seem to be there to do what's told to them; no more, no less... My problem with this lays in the fact that a lot of money and resources goes into sending them over to Antartica, and I have yet to see anything of value be returned in any shape or form. Mind you, but the biological information retrieved can be of great importance, to say the very least. In fact, I don't even know who studies that ice - My educated guess would suggest big pharma or similar (Monsanto?) gene engineering company. What's done with whatever they find there remains "???".
Boomproof, sorry, what? What are you talking about? What would Monstanto want with ice cores? The ice cores are collected for further study, primarily by climatologists studying the composition of the atmosphere over time. The SPICEcore project lists its publications and it includes a chemical survey of the surface snows and an analysis of the core ice itself. How exactly are these people not scientists?
Have you taken a look at the requirements necessary to get even a little piece of ice? As I understand, by extracting 10cm in diameter long iceblocks, that if they're drilling 1500m deep they're essentially harvesting 14k of liters of it if not more, per hole. 3 years has the project been running seemingly, and in regards to publications... little is there to see besides articles in magazines with 0 information value; it's like them saying "hey! there are publications about this moneyspending paid by taxpayer money!", when in reality there's nothing to learn out of any of the aforementioned. As we know, water has very distinct electromagnetic and electrochemical properties, and in it's solid form it can tell you a LOT about imposed forces like magnetic fields etc; the atmospheric part is irrelevant, because as we know, the atmosphere at the poles could not be cleaner and more stable (mainly due to low temperatures, and therefore 0% water in the air, wich is what we need to analyze "the atmosphere"); so what you're hunting is the information "snapshotted" by the ice. It just itches me to see drilling for Ice at the magnetic south pole with so little outsourcing - and if that is not enough, the USAP or the NSF seem to be keeping that ice hostage lol.

I love these arctic videos, so interesting to watch the unique equipment they have.
Really cool kit... then the ladder is held on with tape ...
Antarctic*
Eek! That's why no one was home when I went :)
high premium bottled water in the making lol
With 20000 year old bacteria, viruses, and who knows what else!
Just stare at your immune-system, establish dominance and yell: "Here's a blast from the past!" then start drinking/licking all the cores.

I absolutely loved that they were playing Ice Ice Baby. Scientists always have fantastic senses of humour it seems.
Ah yes, ice jokes. Bet they do not get old there at all.
If there's something I've learnt from Lovecraft is that they're just about to awake an aeons-old monstrosity that will most definitely put an end to mankind.
Hah, yeah you know you're in trouble when you bring up a core of nothing but bone and muscle tissue.
Cool but remember guys, watch out for The Thing.
+Feynstein
They have someone on the team whose only responsibility is to listen for the theme written by Ennio Morricone.
Keep an eye on the news. If word spreads of a mysterious viral outbreak, it's time to buy a remote cabin somewhere in Midwestern USA.
Smaakjeks K That might be the most genius thing ever written. 😂

Just watching this makes me feel chilly.
"It's so cool!"
I mean, yeah, it's ice...
+Photonic
I commend your flare for writing in a natural, conversational fashion. Makes your comment amusing.
That is all.
This is the most detailed video I've seen of an ice core drill. Thank you! Very interesting.
for me you guys are the time travelers are our era
oh man, mad respect mate, wish I could do something like that
That click of the ice dropping out...so satisfying.
I feel like I'm there too! It's been as cold as -20 in Maine over the past few weeks!
Yay! The south pole videos continue!
That's so cool!
You could even say it's
*ICE* *COLD*
im taking my first AP physics class next year, but i have been watching you guys for years now, and hopefully i wouldn't get swamped with math i dont understand yet. (im only in algebra 2 and Greek letters scare me to death)
Damn dude, I love these videos
Brady would have loved this
Sometimes when I watch such videos I question if I'm studying in the right field.
Yay! More antarctic footage :D
In glaciology they talk about ice losing its typical solid state when the pressure from weight above exceeds what it would be a few hundred meters below the surface. That allows the glacier to move on a bed of ice that is more fluid than ice that would have formed on the surface. So, now I'm confused.

Antarctica should become a haven for scientists fleeing from an increasingly irrational world
I’m quite interested to know the results of this experiment. What did they find in the ice that low?
I was never so excited about ice before.
Very similar to wireline operations in gas/oil industry. Familiar territory for me. North Dakota is almost as cold in the winter. :P
Wow, that’s awesome :-)
This is awesome :)
I know this is very off topic, but I would really like to know how elements are formed. I know that nuclei are created in stars via fusion and released in supernovae, but how do they get their electrons?

Looks cold to me!
So is this at the Amundsen Scott base? For a bit I thought I could see mountains in the background which would obviously mean it is not at the South Pole but then I decided it must just be snow piling against the sides of the tent.
do they make lateral movements of the drill at all? or do they just drill deeper and deeper at the same location each iteration ?
Atmospheric science baby!
"Looks like candy" "looks like vanilla ice cream" Did you guys accidentally send a team of stoners instead of scientists?
Another video to fill me with abject sadness that I will never get to go to the pole.
Somebody show that to Ken Ham.
mature earth theory
Show him what? that a scientist has an opinion about how old the earth is?
How deep can they go resp. are they planning to go? Any further than the current 1 kilometer?
A 20,000 year old snow ball, can't be bad!!!
Does the ice melt because of the friction of a drill? I would expect there to be very low temperatures.
And again, the aggregate of ice core samples is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.
Please Deshake in future. Thanks.
Im amazed that cable can hold itself and the cutting head with a tube ice at 1km and looked like down to 1.5km.
So cool, would like to work there.
Won't gases diffuse into/out of the cores if they're just sitting on a shelf for years?
Which is why you won't use the stuff on the surface of the ice cores. They're thick, so you can have a buffer zone of stuff you're just not going to use. You basically just use the cores of the cores.
They were playing "ice ice baby" lol 3:50
but,but,but... you are breathing and spitting on it
+Robot
Yep, but they will not use the ice on the surface. There will be a buffer zone where from no data is collected, exactly because it will be contaminated.
huukkkkk ..thbPOoo
Also letting it sit on the surface for a year before processing... Any trapped gases would be completely contaminated via diffusion. Though probably still ok for testing trapped dust and maybe some oxygen and hydrogen isotopes.
1:40 looks like jupiter, because of the bands
Please make a video on Planck star theory!
When was this video recorded?
From the description: "Denis Barkats filmed these for us during his stay at the South Pole in the summer 2015/16."
So 2 years ago.
I looked in the Description before asking. Either I'm going senile (quite possible!) or they added it afterwards.
Remember At the Mountains of Madness
The vacuum cleaner is the most instresting. 4:20
While he's down there, any chance of a trip to ICECUBE?
Take a shot every time someone says, "cool."
Bunch of students with ice? Vodka BABY...
pretty cool.
You can't tell me these guys never had a vodka on the 50 thousand year old rocks.
The ice is 20,000 years ago? Riiight.
How could I get my hands on some 20,000 year old ice?
I have to know what it tastes like
Looks like a long candy bar?
That was cool
A bit random. But I'd love to see more women in those field projects. I've seen my colleges fall through like there is some kind of mesh leaving just very few in the end. Women give a different vibe to an all male environment :)
I have a question to ask the Doctors: if Light does not have Mass, how does the event horizon of the black hole prevents light from leaving a Black hole?
Because Black Holes curve space so much that the speed of light is not fast enough to escape it.
Really interesting but I would like proof that this really was filmed in the south pole and not north.
I have to agree with many before and say those dudes need full hazmat suits and possibly kurt russell just in case
DENIS!
ice ice baby *claps*
I didn´t see Kurt Russell there ... :D
wait what?!
no Kurt Russell = bad chances to survive if "The Thing" get out of the ice :D
But we did see Mike Hughes in the background battling a bout of cognitive dissonance.
Pls do a vid on the blood moon that will be happening tomorrow on the 31st January 2018
How did they proved that this ice is 15 000 years old ?
Carbon dating pollen in the ice is one of the best ways.
Nikolai Tsakov

hamstsorkxxor dude you need to be out there educating. Tell me you're an educator. Science discovery is great but in this...unique...political climate we need people like you educating.
Are you cold?
Cool but can we have some actual physics videos?
"We're not who we are. WE'RE NOT WHO WE ARE!!! It goes no further than this."
Lets hope they don't unearth any worms...
X files
That was _exactly_ what I was thinking while watching this. Fiction or not, all I know is that I'm staying _far away_ from those outposts.
"After they store it here, supposedly..." wat.
¡ǝɹǝɥ uʍop ɯoɹɟ llɐ,ʎ ʎǝH

Cool
In every way!
anyone else cold now?
Just dont find any aliens we all saw what happened on the x files
Sooo coool
This is so cool
*wink*
Horrible that they are using Canada goose jackets:(
WTF Bradey? See what happens when you outsource?
Nobody asks the probing questions like you! Now get down there and do what you do best!
This is cool, but I HATE that GoPro/fisheye look and I don't understand why so many videos use it. I want to see things as they actually are.
What makes you think you see things as they really are normally?
That is how they make cheap portable cameras have a wide field of view. If he had a flat lens you'd only see his nose when he's holding his camera out at arms length filming himself.
Maybe you're in the Matrix, so maybe you don't want to see things as they actually are ?
Heh, big irony in that statement since as soon as you take any image you lose so much reality. 2d vs 3d, limited fov, colours etc. Think they pick the lens that's best of both (or least worse).

'Cadaver carrier'?
It isn't remotely funny in the slightest, but my best friend is working in the northern arctic circle as we speak.
why is that funny?
haHAA btw
I don't find this comment to be funny at all.
Lol I love the edit you made to you comment. It’s funnier now.
He just said it wasn't funny why are you people expecting it to be funny?
Do you really think that uman beings from the tropics to live over there for a week I don't think so I live in Puerto Rico I would love to try like a reality show just trying to hike from the what you call it from the shore to the base where is the scientist and we will make it like a marathon or a race and it will be like a we will have to make a message or bring the split the u.s. postal office then to play that's put a challenge to anybody who wants to do it that will be humongous
William Dyer tried to warn us of this! Return before it is too late!
Will you guys also reveal the new south pole marker? :D
this is littery so "cool"
Such an elaborate hoax .. just joking. ;)
He is not at the north pole. He is at the ice barrier that keeps the people of earth sheep.

Agreed
Hey
Yeh

Have you found the nazis yet? ;)
Has anyone told Al Gore that there is ice at the South Pole?

Yawn... Where is teh maths?
Not at all. Sorry that was terrible

Those people seem incompetent for some reason lol, but it's just ice cores, so who cares. More physics less this whatever this is lol
