Inside France's $38M Floating Arctic Research Station 

I think when they mentioned sea trials in the 'Fram Straight' they were giving a clue to the vessel of which you speak!

"Fram ("Forward") is a ship that was used in expeditions of the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912. (...) Nansen's idea was to build a ship that could survive the pressure, not by pure strength, but because it would be of a shape designed to let the ice push the ship up, so it would "float" on top of the ice."

They say “it’s meant to drift with the ice” a couple of times

@@EmilianaCamila can't drift from France to the pole, can it?

It has an engine room clearly shown in the layout right there in the video.

Yes if you look closely at the video you can see a Rutter also, plus if it was a barge it wouldn't call it a ship. ( Right? ) maybe wrong have been before lol

The vessel is still being built hence the extensive usage of stock footage and animations. That said a rudder and propeller are visible early on in the video.

The minimum legal requirement is 1 liter/person/day 😅

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why not just build a massive hover craft? Like the old ones they used to go from England to France, they were massive. Sit on the ice until you need to move. Easy!!!

It's limited due to croissant rations and es-cargo. (:

I was thinking the same. I just watched Irving Finkle's lecture about the making of the likeness of "Noahs" Ark and why tge circular or ovular shape is more ideal. Very interesting.

Thanks bro!

It No good for BOAT hulls the Welds start to Crack because Sea hamming on hull making Aluminum get harder .Check out US warships made of Aluminum all started to crack only lasted 10 years or less

It's 3/4 inch thick aluminum plate!

It’s hard to offer a tour of what does not yet exist…….the vessel is still under construction

Well..its working ok. As well as thousands of all kind of alluminium vessels, that are floating around the world for decades.

Really you think so

This video didn't really give that much info on its systems imo.

​@@Stroopwaffe1 Other than a huge diesel engine running on vegetable oil, and it's weight, the official website is useless as well.

People are making billions off of promising utopia - if we just shut up and obey. And as all throughout time, such promises will lead to conflict and disaster. But if we all just buy EVs, eat bugs and give up bodily autonomy the climate will stabilize and we'll all live happily ever after. It is known..

PICKEY.......PICKEY.

I can assure you, I was there. The meeting with my french cousin, however, was set on another date.

Yeah I hate the AI voices. When I hear one I click off the video immediately. Human 4 human only

My guess is vacuum insulated, basically a big thermos

Really? How come a ship heading north to study this got stuck in the ice last year?

Okay, but Russia also wants to run the planet with dictators and trumpians.. in mind.. once Russia is done being an autocratic society and stop waging war on its smaller neighbors then Russia will be relevant..

solar panels in winter, at the north pole ?

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

If you have to ask what it costs! Buy a boat.

Probably because there’s no need for one….

Many countries refer to ships in a masculine form, including France.

Profitez tant que l’on a des traitres au manettes

@@pierrelegal24 If you could please speak American Also, if it's about the boat, it's sold. Sorry about that 😁

It will Fail because the Cold water and two hamming of sea on the hull will work hard the Aluminum which mean welds will crack

A lot of aluminum yachts are only 5-8mm at the hull - so 20mm is 2-4x as thick.

@@sl0ls but they aren't meant to be exposed to ice..EVER, check out the thickness for explorer yachts

It’s still being built 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@cruisinguy6024 Check the title of the video, hence my comment. 🤦‍♂

Google: Here are some data points that show the Arctic is warming: Temperature The Arctic's average surface air temperature from October 2022 to September 2023 was 20°F (-7°C), making it the sixth warmest year on record since 1900. The summer average temperature was 43°F (6.4°C), the warmest on record. Since 1940, the Arctic's annual average temperature has increased by 0.45°F (0.25°C) per decade, and the summer average has increased by 0.31°F (0.17°C) per decade. Sea ice The Arctic's sea ice melt season has lengthened by 37 days since 1979, and the ice now starts melting seven days earlier and refreezing 30 days later than it used to. The shallow seas around the Arctic Ocean have warmed by almost 4°F (2°C) over the past four decades. This warming causes less sea ice, which exposes more of the ocean to sunlight, which in turn causes more warming. Snow Snow-covered areas are thawing out earlier in the spring. For example, in 2022-2023, the Arctic had above-average snow in the winter, but it melted much faster in the spring than usual. In 2021, Arctic North America had below-average snow cover for the 15th year in a row. Wildfires Wildfires in the Arctic are becoming more frequent, severe, and larger. This can make it harder for ecosystems to recover and can change the types of plants that grow back. Harmful algal blooms As sea ice melts and water temperatures rise, harmful algal blooms (HABs) are expanding north. These blooms can produce toxins like saxitoxin and domoic acid, which have been found in Arctic cetaceans, seals, and walruses.

How is that true?

Not everything is a scam, looks very tech heavy! Which costs millions 🤔

Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're dumb, than opening your mouth and proving it

He didn’t actually say anyone got ripped off. Just that someone made a lot of money, and that would almost certainly be someone connected to the gov. Even if an aluminum dingy was worth that much, which I doubt, some connected company made a lot. As for proof, you just have to actually look into government spending to have a reasonable doubt as to the fairness of the bidding.

This dummy doesn’t believe in climate change that’s why he says it’s “A scam” 😂

Hogwash

The evidence is overwhelming, I've seen the changes in my lifetime. Also in my lifetime, I've learned to recognise idiots.

So why is the ice sheet getting smaller every year.

Must be nice being brainwashed. Discounting the thousands if not more scientists you know the experts in that. That say it's real. Keep ignoring it tho should go great.

@@DomingoDeSantaClara Check the mirror, there should be an idiot.

AO

Not warming? Try telling that to the receding glaciers and also the shorter winters and longer warmer temperatures that allow a summer only beetle morr time to devastate the tree populations in North America

lol. It appears you don’t know what science is.

You guys are such dummies. First and foremost, do you think the earths climate has always stayed the same? Do you know how science works? People who toe the line get funding, but people who rock the boat do not, plus there is never a solid yes or no in science. That’s why it’s always questioned…..unless it’s global warming. Then it’s somehow a religion. And receding glaciers? First, do you know we’ve been out of a glacier period for a long time? Do you know what happens? Glaciers melt. Plus media always shows you videos of summer melt for dramatic effect. Such lame comments

$38 million for an aluminum dingy, or gas tank? Who was good enough friends to get that gov contract? All that tax payer money to keep looking like it’s true, or that they care.

Like that was built in weeks and not years like everything else engineered in the world. BTW think about that own comment when is your country in problems. Better to spend it on this than on people like you.

🤦🏻‍♂️ what an incredibly ignorant comment

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
