The Journey to Halley, Antarctica

- This is the first part of our Journey south to Halley research Station, Antarctica. It takes a wee while longer than we expect.
Antarctica is a pretty expensive place to go so it is great to be working in Antarctica and get to go to these places. Here we take off from Punta Arenas in Chile and fly to Union Glacier in the Patriot hills near Mount Vinson, the highest peak in Antarctica.
Wee end up helping set up camp and camping there ourselves for a long time before we finally get our DC3 (Basler) flight to Halley when the weather gets better:)
Several people here at this camp are here to walk to the South pole or get twin otter flights to another starting point then walk to the pole.
Great set up here at Union glacier and landing on blue ice in a Russian Ilyushin IL-76 TD Transport aircraft is pretty cool.
Some of our other colleagues took the Dash-7 aircraft in via a different route to the Brunt ice shelf.

So amazing view😢😢
glad you like
Splendid film . Beautiful scenery . Thanks !
cheers
i really love IL-76 aircraft. what a legend it is .....
I can cook I'll send my CV in. I'm actually blown away I didn't know that such a place existed as in until I watched the news yesterday where they were talking about a split in an iceberg. Amazing work.
yes get applying:) Goodluck:)
Russian aircrews I swear will take you anywhere in the world. They'd land on Mars if there was an airstrip.
hahahaha True:)

This is spectacular! What a beautiful continent.
Thanks very much:)
It would be cool to visit it myself
Awesome ! Lots of love 💚 INDIA🇮🇳
Thanks from Scotland:)
very beautiful, thanks.
+Riccardo Smirnov Thanks:)
This is crazy its beautiful
Thanks
Nice to see old friends, Fran, Boris, JT. Plenty I missed too I expect.
DC3. A great piece of engineering. Also great guys enjoying themselves. Take care.
even more so with those turbines on her!!

still operating!
They are converted DC3s known as Basler BT-67s. They have Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67R turboprop engines. They perform better in the cold then the old piston radial engines. Many BT-67s are in use all over the world.
@Vlad cccp, The first plane is a Russian IL-76. The planes af 7:00 are Baslers.
Nice work - beautiful video! I'd love to work there some day. Amazing...
awesome. keep em coming. by watching it i feel like im there with you guys :)
A fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching:)
@@extremefilm Quick question. Why do you need to pee before you poo in the toilet there?
@@david5uper529 I think just to keep it separate to carry out as nothing can be left in Antarctica. The pee just goes in a 250 litre drum but poo is packaged separately and is a more expensive way so pee would add to the expense and has the possibility of making it a whole lot messier for who ever is looking after it:)
@@extremefilm Thanks. I wondered if it was to make the toilet wet and unfrozen for the poop. I think I over thought it!
I wonder which one of these guys is not who they say they are, "The Thing"...
Scots, we're always looking for somewhere colder to go
What a wonderful place to travel
Nope. He is paid to make out Antarctica is a place of wonders. It is closed to the public. Anyone who goes there signs the Secret Act. Wake up.
Nice journey, unforgetable moment once in whole lives. Thank you Rick for this filming so awesome for me who alive in tropical area
Thanks and its Kirk hahaha:)
@@extremefilmthank you Kirk you are lucky man
Only heroes people can be there!!!
Amazing
Beautiful..
I really enjoy that when does the full scale documentary come
yes it was made for British Antarctic Survey and was going to be on mega structures on National Geographic but BAS didn't allow them access in the end for unknown reasons?
@@extremefilm what a bummer
@@extremefilm Stop that...you know the reason.That is why you posted this.
@@amonrop5082 Maybe you can enlighten me lol.
its great to land on ice,......i am from Bangladesh.
if we press that cc button to our right side
then u can use the english subtitles
Sorry but most of us are intelligent enough to know what is being said.

julio ariel jorquera muñoz Wow, a mi me gustaria trabajar allá
Your Il-76 jumbo jet screams like an eagle
beautiful
the sun seemed like came right back up did not go down did not get dark harsh weather prevents us to go to the edge of the earth only we could see it from the air but they are careful not to show the whole 360 panorama and always with a curved lens
GypsyKing cuz its flat :)
oh yeah
Flat like your head. Yeah
+Eternidad lol these people are fkin stupid
Eternidad ask yourself why there aren't windows on the planes that go in Antartica... ponder!
Kirk Watson incredible filming experience in frozen planet.💂
Thanks very much:)

Planets do not exist. There's more evidence of a Death Star called Nibiru than any Planets, tsk...
Awesome!
Loveeeee itttttttt
Wow....I don’t like flying in normal temperature. I can’t imagine flying/landing in those conditions.
The walking on slippy ice when you get out is the weird bit:)
Wow, is it much worse than walking on an icy sidewalk?
@@PankajBhambhani64 at least you know its icy lol
Fargo sure looks nice there
What a plane woow
amazing
ilyushin...avión ruso excelente para las nieves-
I wish that I could work there.
that took off from punta arenas , if Argentina tierra del fuego ushuaia left to them next???
What's the station? the IL 76 landed
Union glacier commercial station
Deadliest place has become the safest.
If you didn't like what the chef cooked, is there a McDonald's down the road to grab a Big Mac instead?
Ofcourse many restaurants to choose from. The meal would have to be pretty shocking before a MacDonalds would be better lol.
Dude. Your accent make this video great!!
Thanks:)
Gooooood JOB
I wonder, whether they will meet one of Five Great Calamities or not. I mean it will be bad if they meet Brion on their first try.
We all survived:)
He wanted to say macerated strawberries, not marinated (I hope).
Probably marinated in rum or another alcohol. I think thats what he means. I can't remember eating it now:)
why is sun sets from right to left, if i see every single day from left to right until dark?
Do you live North of the equator? If you do it will set the opposite of this film in Antarctica:)
nope, Europe. but its only possible if sun is lot smaller than earth and u stay other side of it...
Europe is North of the equator so the sun goes left to right for us (I live in Scotland) but if you travel to Antarctica you cross over the equator and then you look back at the equator from the opposite of it, to see the sun. So the sun travels right to left:)
left to right, but not horizontal or vertical. if earth goes around the sun its impossible to go left to right and rise or set at once.
Oh yes the earth is flath
What kind of Blue VAN is that, at 2:13?
Sorry not sure what it is called but probably made or converted in iceland as thats what I hear often:)
Somebody take me
why ilyushin? not airbus or being?
IL-76 !!!!
So the sun does not stay above the horizon 24/7 there during summer?
Yes it does at some points. It changes each week and day even but yes probably a few months in summer when the sun just goes round and round in the sky not setting😁👍🏻
@@extremefilm interesting! It's odd because I'm comparing the angels of the sun in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere and it would seem like the north gets more sun year round.
Some places past the Antarctic circle for the same latitude past the equator has the sun quite a bit lower than you see in the arctic circle.
I've become curious enough to go there myself if it weren't so expensive haha!
Yes different all over the world 😁. Lovely long sun sets or rises in Antarctica. But I remember living in Kenya the sun went down so quickly almost like a light switch😁
@@extremefilm so from your experience you'd say the sun doesn't do anything unexpected in Antarctica?
Just does what it’s meant to like we probably learnt in high school 😁
And they wonder why the ice is melting in Antarctica.
IL76 the best....
sun sets??
These folks look like heavy-hitters.What's going on.
IL-76TD
ilyushin IL-76TD

"Pee.poo and rubish" is taken away........... that's certainly a relief , because our bodily waste will not compost in such temperatures.
That's got to be a B52
The Ilyushin Il-76 is a multi-purpose four-engine turbofan strategic airlifter designed by the Soviet Union's Ilyushin design bureau. It was first planned as a commercial freighter in 1967, as a replacement for the Antonov An-12. It was designed to deliver heavy machinery to remote, poorly served areas. from wikipedia:)
Nope.
Cool
Thats not a Russian plane, that is an Air Almaty plane from Kazakhstah!
They Switched them out with turboprops.
I can’t believe they have outside loos
Just wrote a letter to the head office .
5:44 they are eating junk food even in Antartica.. what more can we say :)
Looks like a home cooked meal to me lol:)
Why arent' there any windows on the planes going to Antartica? Wow
It's a cargo airplane I suppose rather than a passenger aircraft. There is a big live tv at the front that shows you a feed from an outside camera looking forward though:) There are a couple of windows too:)
yeah I know. It's not allowed to see the panorama 360° around, I know very well. The thing I do not know is ""Why??"
I am not sure 100% why either but I am pretty sure it is because lots of cargo is flown at the same time as passengers on most of these flights so a passenger jet would not work for this use. The cargo jet is more functional. I think they did once land a passenger jet here though? I think. The Ilyushin Russian jet are well tested in these cold environments too:)
thanks for your answer Admin... but I saw strange things there. Antartica is not a small continent. It's huge!! What we see on Google Earth is only 15%!! Well, I said nothing anyway
Strange as in flat and white for most of it hahaha. I've flown across quite a bit of it in the front cockpit of small aircraft while I lived there for just over six years. Pretty amazing place like no where else on earth:) Much of it is flat and white with occasional crevasse, but the mountains are beautiful:)
Nice peoples
yes indeed
Tough country.
journey antarctica.............maryan capio love oliver manusig
LOL! Pre Covid-19 travel looks so strange and odd. People sitting together, no face masks on. What world was that?
So true! The folks down there just now are in the safest place:)
Russian Power IL 76
Sick as frick
dc3 ? strange engines ?
Probably turbo prop conversion
RIP Antarctica
I think it is pretty safe:)
@David Mutchler indeed:)
Someone should set up a gofund me to put Eric Dubay or some other prominent flat Earther to fly over Antarctica. It wouldn't surprise me if they decline the offer. Wouldn't want to end their income stream after all from their ridiculous RUclips videos.
dragonore2009 - amen, sir. I think that asshole Mark Sargent, the self-styled flat earth spokesman, is a great example of this. I suspect that he doesn’t really believe the bullshit he spews. He just figured out how to make an easy buck.
Ok how many of us have had flights cancelled because of high winds? so..... wtf?
I'm sure millions of people have, I'm also pretty sure billions of people know this fact too:) I'm just telling a wee story of the journey to Antarctica, good you can relate though lol:)
You don't drink tea. Either you have it or take it.
Yes lots drinking tea in Antarctica and in this video:)
enclosed circled ice surrounding the flat earth ( United Nations map ) Antarctica.
Nibiru is flat!
someone is coughing !! 2020
luckily it was 2011 but still when someone took the flu into antarctica after a winter that was very annoying as everyones immune systems are down. As in winter no one ever gets a cold or flu extra as no germs coming in:)

antractica is dengeruss a lot of pepole is death there
More chance of being killed in a car crash in europe lol or shot in the US than anything happening to you in Antarctica:)
@@extremefilm no me but know how is death there only by walking on snow
you right to have you ever been in antractica
@@allglobussinformation9423 I have spent 6 years in total living in Antarctica. The longest stint was for 2.5 years:)
@@extremefilm can you give me your facbook or some emil if is not problem i want need some information abut antractica i love antractica
lol

I dare you Kirk... go on .... mention Antarctica is NOT a continent... go on ... it's an Ice Wall. You know it. We truthers know it. Duh.
Haha my wee films seem to attract these truther or conspiracy theories. Used to really annoy me lol. Now I just laugh them off and get on with the fun of life:)
@@extremefilm Your wee films are fine. However, mate, don't laugh, if you knew the truth you would change your whole concept of how this world works - not a spinning ball lol ... It's so simple. And so pure. That's why all ancient cultures including the great Tartaria knew the truth we are not moving - how the hell could anyone think that... it's absurd anyway, - your socks would be burnt off if you know the truth. Live in sheeple land and true science and "experts" ... lol... Appreciate your comment mate. If you laugh at the truth that is fine by me. I cannot wake you up. From Australia, out. Antarctica is not a continent.
@@keddmann2334 I laugh because I find it amazing folk are so daft then I realise they always have no content on youtube and are obviously here just to stir and make random weird comments so I laugh to keep me happy in life. Enjoy your theories and life. Have fun:)
What on earth are human beings doing in Antarctica. The exploration is not cool, its degrading in a way. We will pay heavy price for our own consequences when we can't leave even the smallest portion on earth to remain on its own.
#LeaveAntarticaAlone
Most that travel there are scientists studying many things. Like we discovered the ozone hole from research at Halley research station which lead to the world wide ban on CFC gases. This stopped the enlarging of the hole. Just in the last year or two it has started shrinking. This would never have happened if we hadn't been in Antarctica. Many studies in Climate change happen down there too that affect our world and studies of cosmic weather which can have effects on our communications through satellites. So there are many good reasons to be there:)
Nope.
@@daviddowling9830 Not sure what this means hahaha
Are u one of the scientist? Cause I don't agree with what you are saying "good to be there". I acknowledge that hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica was recently discovered but that's not because human had research base in Antarctica or Access to environment in the continent. It can be discovered doing research anywhere else.
Everyone that travelled there aren't scientist. Some are exploring ways to permanently established their territory in the continent because of the availability of huge untap resources. While some explore the continent for sports and sight seeing. Leave the nature to its natural state. Scientist or no scientist, research or no research purpose, human invasion only opens up possiblity for human colonization.
@@hukuyivenuh180 I was a polar guide I looked after the scientists:) We will agree to disagree:)
