Описание к видео Science in the Virtual & Actual Pub - Why We Should All Know and Care about Antarctica

Dr. Warren Allmon, Director, The Paleontological Research Institution

It has been said that visiting Antarctica is the closest you can come on Earth to visiting another planet. It is a place of striking beauty, extreme conditions, amazing geology and oceanography, and abundant and distinctive wildlife. Antarctica is also changing rapidly, in complex and still incompletely understood ways, and these changes may have huge impacts on the entire Earth. PRI Director Warren Allmon recently returned from a trip to Antarctica, and will share some highlights, as well as an overview of current scientific understanding of its changing environment and why it matters.
