As a former submariner and bluenose, I'm feeling a bit jealous. Nearly all my time north of the Arctic Circle was under water. Would love to have the chance to do an ice-ex after a long time away.

@coniccinoc Год назад

How scary is it to live on a sub? Is it something that you just get used too? I am not a sailor, the idea of being surrounded by cold and pressure sounds terrifying.

@johnmcgimpsey1825 Год назад

@@coniccinoc Like most military jobs, it is hard work, but 98% routine. You do so much training that there is not a lot to be scared about. I always felt safer in a sub than in a ship that, if it had a little depth excursion, *won’t* come back up…

@RandomUser2401 Год назад

and one of the worst parts is the constant usage of imperial units - on a physics, on a science channel. It's bad enough that they constantly use Freedom Degrees for telling how far they are "below 0" without even stating the unit. And yeah, below zero would make sense in case of 0 C where water freezes and not some random setpoint. This is mostly on the military side which seems largely immune to change anyhow, but why Diana uses feet and miles all the time is really hard to explain. Science much?

Watching this, my brain was constantly comparing this to other environments. Then she mentioned the goldilocks zones. Then it hit me. As extreme as this is, it's extremely safe compared to Mars. I'm not trying to downplay Diana's experience. This is incredible. I'm just trying to wrap my mind around how extreme the environments are on other planets for human habitation. The Arctic is harsh and dangerous and I'm jealous I will probably never see it. Mars is _so much worse._ I am not so sure that I want to see that at all. At least you can breathe the air in the Arctic and if you're injured, you are a few hours from help. There's _no help_ on Mars. You're stuck. Anyway, this is an awesome video and I wish I could see this myself.

@The_Fat_Turtle Год назад

I used to live next to a charter company who specialized in prop engine float planes and the Twin Otters were used daily and worked like champs. I only know of one crash they had and it was a new pilot learning to land at dusk with no wind, so the water looked like a sheet of oil it was so smooth and shiny. They ended up digging in with one ski and flipped the plane into the water, but everyone was okay, no injuries just scrapes and bruises. I moved from cottage country back into town last year and still kind of miss hearing multiple take-offs a day on the water, but they also used to use my house as a marker and fly directly over it when taking off and landing, so I don't miss those rude awakenings on sleep in days.

I can never express it in words, yet you've captured it perfectly.

@SteveAAF Год назад

I was an active-duty Marine in the 90's assigned to a unit that supported Artic operations. A trip to the training center mentioned here at 16:54 was deemed as required for any personnel who was appointed to be entering any active operations area in the Artic. Over the course of several months, the installation provided training in the do's and don'ts for every imaginable circumstance that may occur in the extreme environment. In addition to the survival instruction, other training included, but wasn't limited to... rescue (air/sea wreckage), ice breaches (cracks/surfacing submarines/meteorites), Hypothermia treatment (exposure/immersion), and of course battlefield combat (offensive/defensive tactics & strategies). Comparatively speaking, in my opinion, surviving the training was harder than the actual short trip I made to the ice pack.

@europaeuropa3673 Год назад

You have experienced one of the greatest experiences of a lifetime IMO. The high arctic is like another planet. The immense buoyant power of those subs to break through 12 feet of ice is incredible, although they probably found thinner ice to come up through. Spent a week in the high arctic on Somerset Island(Arctic Watch) during the late summer of 2004. RTV'd along the arctic ocean knowing that polar bears hiding behind icebergs watched us, kayaked in the arctic ocean where Beluga whales and their young feed, and hiked rugged terrain and canyons resembling the Grand Canyon with bear dogs and an armed guide leading the way. Viewed remnants of ancient Thule sites abandon 700 years ago with onset of the little ice.

@Just_Sara Год назад

@@luminisant You're working about 60 hours a week, so you don't have time to be bored! They have a lot of social gatherings, a gym, a craft room, two bars, and you get to sometimes take trips outside. Different jobs, you end up going different places. LDB was Long Distance Balloon, my sister was driven out there every day for a few weeks. Lots of scientists to talk to! You also usually work there for 6-month or 1-year stints, it's seasonal work and they make you go home for your sanity. There's even the Kiwi base Scott Base nearby.

Diana, something I love about your content is that you always explain science in a /human/ and /humane/ context. This episode is a prime example of it, both talking about the people you meet, those on your team, and your internal mental and emotional experience.

@RuurdvdZ Год назад

Wow I'm sitting here watching the whole episode with goosebumps. It is summer here and absolutely not cold. But this seems so incredibly cool to ever experience something like this. Lots of love from the Netherlands

@alvarieroberts720 Год назад

So I love your videos! My husband actually spend a whole year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station and if you did this, I think you would get a kick out of the South Pole and all the really neat research they are doing there. You could check it out!

@echobeefpv8530 Год назад

I live in Winnipeg, Canada. All the time. -40 ( F or C, the same at -40, look it up ! ). Yup, winter. + 37 C, yup, summer. Gotta be ready, gotta be tough !! Our mosquitoes wear leather, they will carry you away !! In winter, standing outside without moving is usually not healthy for anything. I love it !!

The thing about how fast it feels like family is the one thing i enjoyed during my time in the Army (Switzerland has mandatory service, so i did not volunteer to go). But you've been there for a day and in the evening you already know the guys you're going to spend your time with for the next month. Nice video

@MrJoegotbored Год назад

Enjoyed this. Great tour of camp.

@vandalorian8777 Год назад

What a great adventure. Can’t wait to see the submarine video. Two questions I had. Were there times you were over dressed and had to remove layers and people start to get smelly after awhile, how did they deal with that as I can’t imagine they had showers?

Dianna, you are just amazing! Deserve a medal for courage! I'll never consider traveling to this place on artic where you was in my wildest dreams. Not even Joking! You have my deep respect Girl! Hope with all my heart that you will never experience something more dangerous than that. Because, here on earth (and a bit farther) are some "things", so dangerous, that are far away from the human race's capability to deal with them. Something more shocking but less dramatic than nuclear bombs, war, illness, viruses, bacteria, world collisions, or quantum creatures! Hope one day we could talk about it! There are some issues, not everyone could handle! Slippery issues on science hands! My respect to Levi and the rest of the team too.

@anndai6027 Год назад

Hey, Diana! Seeing that the ice cracks so rapidly, it is natural to wonder if it's climate change-related! I love you and your educational videos so much! It would be even more lovely if influential people like you could raise awareness and talk more about climate change, especially in the context of: Arctic Ice Sheets. It would be interesting to hear more about the physics ;) and dynamics of these ice sheets in a changing climate! It's so disappointing to see so much effort directed into the military instead of climate issues :( Other than that, thank you so much for taking the opportunity and for sharing your experience

@VoIcanoman Год назад

It's nice to see a physicist's perspective on all of this, after Destin did his high-quality engineer's POV two years ago. I know that all of this is US Military soft power, but I don't particularly care. Science is being done, and if that science happens to have military applications (as it does), so be it. We need to know how climate change is affecting arctic conditions, and militaries the world over have recognized this threat far faster than the governments they answer to, and take it far more seriously (which tells you a lot about the way the world works). The idealist in me is resentful, but the realist is thankful that _someone_ is doing this work. Maybe governments will listen (for a change)...but the cynic in me knows they won't.

@frankgulla2335 Год назад

Diana, what a great video of your experience above the Arctic Circle. Clearly, you caught the eye of more than a few Ice-Xers and submariners. Great job.
