These operations are just underway.
When full drilling begins
the scientists will be able to
plunge the drill bit through centuries
to see what changes have
occurred over time.
the Antarctic summer is progressing,
although it is still
not dark after midnight.
the planet of light.
There are only a few stops left
for the travelers,
one of them a special place
for Sally and Jerome.
More than ten years ago
Antarctic together,
they decided to stay over in the
long darkness of winter.
They had only the Damien II
for a base
frozen in a harbor
here at Avian Island.
It was a really big surprise for us
to see just how many penguins
there were
or how many birds
there were on that island,
but really surrounded by them.
They found extraordinary life
including 70,000 Adelie penguins
on the island.
Avian is located at the top of
Marguerite Bay,
and it's the breeding ground for
much of the bird life
that lives and hunts throughout
the Bay region.
bird life in the entire Bay area.
Besides the Adelies's...
every single bit of that island
is covered in birds.
And you're surrounded by birds.
And you really do live
part of that cycle of the summer
season with them, completely.
But the poncets are disturbed to
learn the birds may soon be
sharing the island.

as a possible site for future studies.
Sally and Jerome are
beginning to worry that
the many scientists and bases
could soon overwhelm the fragile
wilderness they have come to study.
Jerome navigates the Damien II
through the mouth of a narrow passage
They are very far south now
nearly at the base of the peninsula
where conditions are terribly harsh.
Some years, the sea is frozen
solid here,
the air is very cold.
Nonetheless, small patches of grass
unexceptional in any way
except that these are the southernmost
flowering plants known to exist
anywhere-the furthest outpost of green
in a world that is almost all grays
and blacks and ice white.
It was the Poncets who made this
discovery
and reported it to the
scientific world
although they now realize this, too
may draw others.
People have realize what this is
and realize how they can damage it
if they come too close,
and how they can keep away and still enjoy it.
There's a bit of a compromise
to doing it,
and you can't just ban people from
coming to certain places all over
just because they might damage it.
They've got to be taught
