How plants survive the winter

- Despite the freezing temperatures, howling winds and constant darkness of Svalbard's polar night, this remote island is home to some incredible arctic plants. As the worlds climate becomes more extreme, bioengineers are studying these plants to find out how to improve our own crops.

I do not envy you trying to film on location there, but it's an excellent episode
Thanks so much! This was definitely one of the most challenging to film, especially when needing to take the gloves gloves off to set up the camera/ lights.
I share Isaac's sentiment here.
@@AtomicFrontier Ottawa is colder.
Hello I just came from Tom Scott's channel and I subscribed and am watching all of your episodes because this is damn good stuff!

I am shocked you don't have more subs. And unshocked Isaac Arthur noticed this channel. Really impressed you didn't visibly shiver, with any particular amount of layers.
Wow, thanks! I had borrowed a really warm jacket from a friend for the trip, but it looked really weird so didn't wear it while on camera. Svalbard was hit with a really "warm" winter that year, so it only got to -10C. The "putting hand in the snow" scene was excruciating though, since we kept needing to reshoot it because of forgetting the lines.
@@AtomicFrontier I'm used to real humid winters, so well above freezing starts to feel insane. Incomprehensible

@@AtomicFrontier tfw for a second I thought you wrote "warm winter, only -100C"
Very underrated show
Great episode!
Very Underrated channel! I want to see you grow, You have one of the best quality educational videos on RUclips!
Just an interesting point to farms on Svalbards - during the Cold War, the Soviets had a self-sustaining town there called Pyramiden with their own greenhouses that produced fresh fruits and vegetables and even enough to feed chickens, cows and pigs. They were trying to prove to the West that they're better. As USSR neared its collapse, they abandoned the town as it was and let it crumble.
Scarily enough, they started reconstructing it recently. I wonder why...
I wonder why, too, since because of climate change Russia is going to have a lot of land freed up for agriculture.

😯! Did anyone tell J.R. Nyquist?(!)
(😬!…)
Great episode again!
this shit is gonna blow up
Interesting approach to extremal agriculture
Yo, this was filmed in norway but holy moly this video is fire
Good video!
3:16, I am sure that the temperature can drop far more than down to -20C on Svalbard. Probably down to -40C.
yes Longyearbyen cold records go below -40°C, though the average January-February temperature in the town is only around -11°C. For Arctic standards, Longyearbyen winters are quite mild, with even towns on the mainland, like Kárášjohka, having colder winter averages and records than it.
really great channel
mate, i think i found a hidden gem
That is such a cool place :-)
4:00 even if it never goes bellow freezing point. you should still have antifreeze in the coolant system.
as the coolant pump is lubricated by the antifreeze itself. (water is a comparably shitty lubricant)
so without any anti freeze in the system. the coolant pump will first overheat, then it will jam, which destroys the cam belt, and ruins the engine.
I am currently binging your amazing channel. Thanks for all the great videos, and please continue! I do wonder about what you say at ~0:53 minute into the video, about a UV lamp for photosynthesis. UV is not the most effective wavelength for plant growth, and depending on if it produces UV A, B or C it could be varying levels of damaging to the plants. Are you sure it's a UV lamp and not some other lamp, and why is a UV lamp used here?
Uv *can* be needed for some plants. But not for most crops. Good thing to pick up!
Can we agree that his huskies kinda stole the show?
How does this channel have such high production value?
he's even cuter in the hat 😍
Polish people: That title is ... uncomfortable.
That dome looks like a factorio laboratory
1:20 _DOGGIES_!!!…
I love your documentaries, they are great!!!
But your voice is always weird, it sounds like it was recorded afterwards - the background sounds are missing when you shoot outside - and that's how it is in every your video.
It would be great if you could fix it and record your voice where you are - it's much more natural (like Veritasium and others)
For being so young your delivery is fairly good. I would say that it’d be better if you perhaps spoke a bit slower since it feels a bit frantic at times. Really looking forward to future videos, you’ve got yourself a sub
anyone know the song that plays at the start of the video and after 4:40?
I don't think its ethical towards polish people to farm them
Hippies and anti-vaxxers are not gonna appreciate the end of this video lol
