Topic: Arctic & Antarctica

The Arctic and Antarctica are the air-conditioners for our planet. They take the hot air from the Tropics, cool it and send it back to the Tropics again. An increase of 0.5 degrees in average temperature at the Equator would mean an increase of as much as 4-6 degrees at the poles. This movement of heat from the equator to the poles has been following the same pattern for 10,000 years - since civilization began. Changing these patterns will affect our economy, people, crops, water supplies and pretty much everything we do.

The effect climate change is having on our planet. This video focuses on the issues that will arise from Arctic sea ice melt.

How can you tell the two poles apart? Where are the penguins? What about the bears? The Arctic pole is located in the Northern Hemisphere within the deep Arctic Ocean, while the Antarctic pole is smack in the middle of the ice-covered Antarctica. Camille Seaman describes how enterprising people and organisms have found ways to reside around both poles despite the frigid temperatures.

Short film about my experiences in Lapland during two short trips in September and March (very cold by the way... even more for a Mediterranean guy like me!). Our main target was the northern lights but I could not avoid paying attention to arctic wildlife in general and birds in particular.

This movie was shot during our 20 days trip to Antarctica in December 2014 to January 2015. We started from Ushuaia in Argentina and went to Port Williams in Chile, rounded Cape Horn and crossed the Drake Passage towards the Melchior Islands in Antarctica. We spent 16 days in the Antarctic and got to experience the most amazing scenery and wildlife before we returned back to Ushuaia.

Earth's landmasses were not always what they are today. Continents formed as Earth's tectonic plates shifted and collided over long periods of time. This video shows how today's continents are thought to have evolved over the last 600 million years, and where they'll end up in the next 100 million years.

Learn about how climate change is impacting our oceans. The Alliance for Climate Education is the nation's leader in climate science education and we're excited to present this short on ocean acidification.

Science columnist Lee Hotz describes a remarkable project at WAIS Divide, Antarctica, where a hardy team are drilling into ten-thousand-year-old ice to extract vital data on our changing climate. Robert Lee Hotz is the science columnist for the Wall Street Journal, where he writes about cutting-edge research on climate change, cosmology, molecular medicine, the human brain and much more ... He has traveled three times to the South Pole.

A short film made to the composition 'Surfing Dreams & Chaos', written by Ysanne Spevack and Philip Clemo. The film was produced, edited and directed by Philip Clemo and shot on full HD on location in Iceland.

A tiny crustacean that weighs less than a paperclip that swim by the billions in the Antarctic seas.The total weight of Antarctic krill is more than the total weight of all the people on earth. They are key to the health of the Antarctic ecosystem but their numbers are in decline. What can you do to help?

Here are some of the locations where penguins were photographed: -Paulet Island -Brown Bluff -Cuverville Island -Melchior Islands -Paradise Bay -Neko Harbour -Port Lockroy -Deception Island

The Ilulissat glacier in Greenland produces around 20 billion tonnes worth of ice bergs each year, making it the most productive glacier in the northern hemisphere. In this video we take a short trip trhough the Ilulissat Icefjord and on to nearby Red Bay.

Spectacular scenes from the Ilulissat ice fjord and the Greenland ice cap. These images were filmed during the 2006 Climate Change College, during which 6 students from the UK and the Netherlands ventured into the arctic wilderness to be trained as climate change ambassadors. Based on the experiences and knowledge gathered on several locations in Greenland, they launched various initiatives raising public awareness around the topic of climate change.

One Degree Matters follows social and business leaders as they travel to Greenland and experience for themselves the dramatic effects of the melting of the ice cap and come to understand the planetary effects of climate change and the impacts these will have on society and the economy. The film brings to the screen the latest science from the Arctic and shows why a further rise in global temperature of one degree matters for the future of humankind.

Sylvester Ayek continues to uphold the traditions of his Iñupiat elders: hunting, foraging, and the craft of carving walrus ivory and wood.

X-Greenland 2010 is a Norwegian snowkite expedition that crossed Greenland from south to north during may and june of 2010. The expedition consists of four members. All very experienced long distance snowkiters from Norway. With 1812 kilometers sailed in 17 days. The expedition was a great succes.

The incredibly talented father-son team of Don (a painter) and Brian Nice (a photographer) embarked on a trip to Ilulissat, Greenland in August of 2007.

Greenland - 24-31 March 2010.

This was filmed between 29th April and 10th May 2011 in the Arctic, on the archipelago Lofoten in Norway. The Sunset and Sunrise are connected in one magnificent show of color and light lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again.

A stop motion based video about the northern lights. The video is shot in the northern parts of Norway, Finland and Sweden during autumn 2011, winter and spring 2012.

Rolling on a top of a globe: Murmansk - Barents Sea - White Sea - Pechora Sea -The Kara Strait - Kara Sea - Yenisei Gulf - Yenisei River - Dudinka Port. All timelapses were photographed at temperatures from -30C to -50C, you can notice "boiling" water when icebreaker unseals ice armor.

Incredible shots from Iceland.

Penguins in Antarctica.

This was shot in and around the Antarctic Peninsula, accessed via South America. Much of the penguin footage is from Bailey Head on Deception Island. The dramatic reflected landscape was filmed in the Lemaire Channel.

The film shows what it is like to experience a year at the bottom of the planet, through the eyes of the everyday workers who are there to keep the stations running on the harshest continent. Most film crews that visit Antarctica are only there for a few short months over the summer season. Footage for this film has been meticulously gathered for the last 10 years, including 9 winter-overs, isolated from the rest of the world for 6 months at a time.

When it comes to body warmth we could learn a thing or two from penguins. So thought the people at Play (playwithus.co.uk), so starting an adventure that led them to the deepest Antarctic where they spent many months making this powerful and moving wildlife documentary.

Svalbard is an archipelago high within the Arctic Circle. The largest of its islands is called Spitsbergen, meaning “pointed mountains.” In 1920 a treaty known as the Svalbard Act was signed by several nations recognising Norwegian sovereignty over the islands, and declaring the whole region a demilitarized zone.

This is an informational science video commissioned by the Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) and Arctic Ocean Diversity Project (ArcOD), explaining their research and discoveries made during the International Polar Year (IPY), as part of the Census of Marine Life (CoML).

Principal Scientist Craig Stevens talks about what NIWA's sonar equipment can tell us about ocean turbulence, and what's in store for sea ice around Antarctica and the Arctic.

National Geographic's Wild Chronicles host, Boyd Matson, joined the expedition team in Clyde River on Baffin Island as part of their Wild Chronicles series.

IceBridge, a six-year NASA mission, is the largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice ever flown. It will yield an unprecedented three-dimensional view of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, ice shelves and sea ice. These flights will provide a yearly, multi-instrument look at the behavior of the rapidly changing features of the Greenland and Antarctic ice.

Although it's doesn't make up part of a South Pole expedition, Cas and Jonesy learnt how to cross leads wearing full body immersion suits. Its something that is a must to learn if you're planning a North Pole expedition. On their recent trip up in the Arctic circle they jumped into water 3 degrees below freezing...

Cas and Jonesy head up to Baffin Island in the Arctic circle to train for their upcoming Antarctic expedition at the end of 2011. They recorded temperatures outside our tent down to -44 degrees Celsius (that's 30 degrees colder than a normal household freezer!) which provided perfect conditions to give their equipment and gear a real good shakedown. Kite skiing, sled hauling, swimming in -3 degree water was just the tip of what they had to endure.

Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure tells the extraordinary true story of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated 1914-1916 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. While never accomplishing its goal of the first crossing of the Antarctic continent, this expedition has become a larger-than-life testament to heroism and human endurance, with all 28 men surviving two years in the barren, frigid Antarctic when their ship, the Endurance, was caught in pack ice and eventually crushed.
