Royal Institution Christmas Lectures 2004
To the end of the Earth: surviving Antarctic extremes
Royal Institution Christmas Lectures: Surviving Antarctic Extremes (2004) [WebRip (VC1)] preview 0

Antarctica is a beautiful place and an inhospitable place. This pristine world is the last truly unexplored corner of the planet. Hidden in its depths are priceless clues to some of the Earth's oldest secrets that may help predict our future climate.

It's an exciting place for scientists and explorers alike. Each year scientists from over 30 countries head south to answer questions about our world that can only be understood here. Working in extremes of cold, protecting themselves from burning UV radiation in an icy wilderness thousands of miles from home, scientists strive to unravel the mysteries of our world.

In the 2004 Christmas Lectures, we follow one of these scientists, Lloyd Peck from the British Antarctic Survey, as he journeys to Antarctica and reveals the biggest questions, controversies and discoveries in Antarctic science.

Why is Antarctica so cold? What organisms would choose to make this cold, dark, lonely place their home? How will global warming really affect the planet?

Episode 1: Ice People (48 minutes)
The amazing wildlife and breathtaking scenery of Earth's last wilderness make Antarctica an incredible place to visit as a tourist, scientist or explorer. But Antarctica is deadly - with permanently freezing temperatures, wind speeds of up to 200mph and massive doses of damaging ultra-violet radiation.

In Ice people, discover how humans cope with this environment, and how we can make sure that Antarctica remains a beautiful wilderness for people to visit.

Episode 2: Ice Life (49 minutes)
Antarctica's plants and animals don't have our technological advances to help them survive - they must rely on adaptation! In Ice life, discover how Antarctic living things survive and even prosper in this unforgiving environment.

Incredible adaptations are commonplace here - for keeping warm, coping with freezing temperatures, hunting and avoiding the dangers of ultra-violet radiation.

Episode 3: Ice World (49 minutes)
Antarctica is a changing continent and, believe it or not, dinosaurs once roamed its forests. So, what happened to make Antarctica the sparse and frozen wilderness it is today?

Secrets held deep within the ice tell us about the Earth's past… and its future. In Ice world, find out what we must do as individuals and as a society, if we're going to reduce the effects of global climate change.

Producer...: Windfall Films

Notes:
CPU usage on single core 1.6GHz P4 processor under Windows XP SP2 is 80% with WMP v10 or Media Player Classic with ffdshow.
WMP v9 codec gives out of sync audio after moving the progress bar. The files might not play on a CPU slower than 1.6GHz.

Probably best viewed with Media Player Classic with ffdshow or WMP v10 upwards. VLC gives staggered images when playing VC1 files. After moving the progress bar VLC can freeze or takes a long time to re-sync - probably best to avoid VLC.

If Media Player Classic gives the wrong aspect ratio goto "View->Video Frame" and set:
Touch Window From Inside
Keep Aspect Ratio
Override Aspect Ratio->16:9

VC1 is similar to H264 and works best with a modern fast CPU
