00:00:26,514 --> 00:00:29,264
(dramatic music)

5
00:01:05,970 --> 00:01:08,358
- [Mariah] We primarily operate in the North Atlantic

6
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,498
and the science that's being done

7
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:11,448
in the North Atlantic right now

8
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:15,318
is almost always connects back to climate change.

9
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,978
And so we are getting the scientists up here

10
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:21,978
where they need to be so they can figure out

11
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:24,920
answers to questions about
what's happening to our planet.

12
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,568
- [Kent] They hear about us out here looking at stuff,

13
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:43,610
and then it's related to global
warming or climate change.

14
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:47,388
And everybody wants to, everybody wants an answer,

15
00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:48,498
like, oh, what are you finding?

16
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:50,478
What are you figuring out?

17
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,028
And I have yet to work with a scientist

18
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:55,188
or talk to a scientist who's willing to say,

19
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:56,028
yes, it's this.

20
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:57,918
Like, you can't do that.

21
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,913
There's so much more to learn about it.

22
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:02,898
And each one of these different scientists

23
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:07,120
is basically adding to this puzzle

24
00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:09,513
of information.

25
00:02:15,570 --> 00:02:19,248
- [Alan] We who study climate of the past, of course,

26
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,258
live in a time world.

27
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,828
Everything we do is about telling time,

28
00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:28,038
is about trying to figure out what happened at time,

29
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,258
and whether that's a hundred years ago,

30
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,468
a thousand years ago, or a million years ago,

31
00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:35,613
we can learn from all of it.

32
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:41,283
- [Rob] Stratigraphy is 90% of geology.

33
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:44,928
And if you don't know where you are in time,

34
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:47,028
then those changes are almost irrelevant.

35
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:49,908
You have to know, you know, not only what is occurring,

36
00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:52,338
but when those changes are occurring.

37
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:54,588
If we didn't know time, we might get records

38
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:58,518
that say ice sheets have
changed in the past, but so what?

39
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,998
Right. So knowing the context of time

40
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,493
is, you know, fundamental to everything we do.

41
00:03:06,988 --> 00:03:10,905
(crew member speaking faintly)

42
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:27,978
- [Kent] I feel like I spend so much time out here,

43
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:30,888
I've missed so much, so many things in my life,

44
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:33,258
having been to sea for so long.

45
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,538
So many things that I would like to be at home doing

46
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:36,828
with family, friends,

47
00:03:36,870 --> 00:03:40,578
and feeling like I've missed out so much on life.

48
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:43,548
The one thing

49
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:46,870
that kind of makes it okay for me

50
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:52,683
is the trips I've supported doing.

51
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,818
It makes it worthwhile because of what we're doing,

52
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:57,810
what kind of information we're getting.

53
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,669
(dramatic music)

54
00:04:45,390 --> 00:04:48,153
- To a lot of people, it's just mud, right?

55
00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:51,408
I mean, I would say not to just a lot of people,

56
00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:54,033
to almost everybody, it's just mud.

57
00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:59,748
So these were pretty clever people that went out

58
00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:02,658
and, you know, realized the potential

59
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:04,818
for just looking at mud,

60
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:08,778
for thinking about how earth has changed in the past.

61
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:11,958
It's pretty clever people who
thought to look at, you know,

62
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,928
what were the tiny fossils within that mud

63
00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:17,328
and how those reflect past climate change

64
00:05:17,370 --> 00:05:20,148
and past warm and cold conditions.

65
00:05:20,190 --> 00:05:23,748
Following the collection of
these early sediment cores,

66
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:26,418
the field of paleoceanography
and paleoclimatology

67
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:27,948
was developed.

68
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:29,778
And from that we recognized that Earth

69
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:33,228
has gone through some major
climate changes in the past.

70
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:36,438
And so now, in 2023, we're at the point

71
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,778
where we can ask very targeted questions

72
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:40,758
and try to better understand processes,

73
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,338
what drove those changes in the past.

74
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:45,468
And so in BADEX, we're gonna be looking at Greenland

75
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:46,668
during the last ice age

76
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:50,058
when it was this big extensive ice sheet,

77
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:53,133
and what were the factors
that drove it to become unstable.

78
00:05:58,470 --> 00:06:00,948
- [Kent] You know, the scientists
who are here for one trip

79
00:06:00,990 --> 00:06:02,808
shouldn't see our struggles

80
00:06:02,850 --> 00:06:06,708
or shouldn't see our, you
know, all of the little details

81
00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:07,818
that we do in the background.

82
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:10,368
They should just see their
equipment going over the side

83
00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:11,868
as it should be, or, you know,

84
00:06:11,910 --> 00:06:14,148
things happening the way they're...

85
00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:15,933
I prepare the ship ahead of them.

86
00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:21,528
- [Pete] Well, I've been doing this work for 25 years,

87
00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:24,198
but for 20 years before that,

88
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,913
I was a commercial fisherman out on Bedford Mass,

89
00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:31,278
which is a whole 'nother ball game from this

90
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,318
as far as, you know, physical work.

91
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,768
And they're on a smaller boat, obviously,

92
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:39,810
getting beat up a little more
than you get beat up out here.

93
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,158
Fishing's just a different ball game, you know,

94
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,673
it's like balls to the walls 24/7, you know.

95
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:51,228
Like, I've been doing it long enough,

96
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:55,158
I know what I gotta do, where I gotta be,

97
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,513
try to stay one step ahead of the scientist.

98
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,088
I do four months on, two months off.

99
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:04,233
So for four months I'm out,

100
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,578
I might be in four different countries,

101
00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:09,198
you know what I mean, for four or five days.

102
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,218
So we get a little break.

103
00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:13,458
That's the beauty of this type of work here, you know.

104
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,198
You get to see the world

105
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,733
and you get to do some crazy stuff, you know?

106
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,238
- All right, what else do we have to put on?

107
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,288
- [Kent] I appreciate so much

108
00:07:21,330 --> 00:07:24,648
being able to just go down there real subtly, you know,

109
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:27,318
this, that and the other, and away they go.

110
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,848
And I come back up to the bridge

111
00:07:28,890 --> 00:07:32,463
and it looks like there isn't
really that big of a problem.

112
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,479
And he makes things happen. For sure.

113
00:07:37,521 --> 00:07:40,104
(horn blaring)

114
00:07:44,911 --> 00:07:48,078
- [Crew Member] Have a safe trip, Cap.

115
00:07:50,151 --> 00:07:51,318
- Okay, folks.

116
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,311
Hi.

117
00:07:54,353 --> 00:07:55,410
- Bless you out there. - Thanks.

118
00:07:58,171 --> 00:08:01,421
- [Crew Member] The avenue rock bottom.

119
00:08:02,337 --> 00:08:07,068
- [Mariah] I'm six weeks into a five-month hitch,

120
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:09,708
so I got on the boat in late June

121
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:12,288
and I'll be on until late November.

122
00:08:12,330 --> 00:08:17,330
It's hard to be, you know, away from home for that long.

123
00:08:17,550 --> 00:08:21,078
And at the same time, this is really a second home,

124
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,183
so it's not that hard.

125
00:08:25,367 --> 00:08:28,284
- [Man on Radio] Got it. Stay back.

126
00:08:49,353 --> 00:08:51,048
- [Kyle] It's good to be out at sea again.

127
00:08:51,090 --> 00:08:52,368
You know, this is what we do and it's nice,

128
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:54,588
it's beautiful weather and it's just,

129
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:57,078
it's good to be out again, get into the routine.

130
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,570
I like to get into my groove.

131
00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:00,888
I like the discipline.

132
00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:03,948
You know, you gotta be, for me anyway,

133
00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:06,108
especially at my age as my body's getting older,

134
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:08,028
I have to be very disciplined about how I eat,

135
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:10,308
the time I sleep, the time I work,

136
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:14,418
you know, I'm very, I gotta follow a regime very hard.

137
00:09:14,460 --> 00:09:16,110
When I go home, I mess it all up.

138
00:09:16,950 --> 00:09:18,558
This is a home away from home

139
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,198
because I spend more time here than I do at home.

140
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,028
You know, like, right now

141
00:09:23,070 --> 00:09:27,318
I'm on a seven and a half
month trip on the boat straight,

142
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,028
you know, so I'm here more than home.

143
00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:31,788
I'll go home in late September when we get back

144
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:33,528
and I'm only home for about a month and a half

145
00:09:33,570 --> 00:09:37,278
and I come back out, you know, so it's a strange life.

146
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,253
It's a hard life.

147
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,548
My family's used to it.

148
00:09:40,590 --> 00:09:41,838
I've done it all my life.

149
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,498
You know, I've been on the water 47, 48 years

150
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:46,938
in one form or another.

151
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:48,918
And they're just, they're used to it.

152
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,403
You know, my kids are all grown up and gone.

153
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,518
My mother is still alive.

154
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,423
My oldest brother takes care of her.

155
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,548
She gets all emotional when I leave every time.

156
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:03,383
But, you know, that's what mothers do.

157
00:10:31,083 --> 00:10:36,083
- [Shannon] In the 1950s and
'60s, you had early exploration

158
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:39,948
where there was a lot of money from the military.

159
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:41,568
They were interested in
learning about the sea floor,

160
00:10:41,610 --> 00:10:43,698
thinking about, you know, submarine warfare

161
00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:45,348
and other naval warfare.

162
00:10:45,390 --> 00:10:48,095
There was a lot of money in learning about the ocean.

163
00:10:48,137 --> 00:10:50,478
And so a lot went to oceanographic research.

164
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,288
And so before some of these early expeditions,

165
00:10:54,330 --> 00:10:56,478
people thought most of the sea floor was pretty flat.

166
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,148
They didn't know the intricacies that we know today.

167
00:10:59,190 --> 00:11:04,190
And in the Atlantic, what emerged were these hills

168
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,888
in the middle of the ocean basin.

169
00:11:06,930 --> 00:11:09,648
And Marie Tharp was able to take

170
00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:11,418
these echo sounder measurements

171
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:13,368
and actually put them all together,

172
00:11:13,410 --> 00:11:14,958
all these different transects.

173
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,588
And what she identified was this long ridge

174
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:19,863
or a mountain chain.

175
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,358
- [Lindsey] Days can be so chaotic and crazy

176
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,948
and you can, you know, even just thinking

177
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:30,018
about anticipating this cruise

178
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:31,518
in this past year and waiting and waiting

179
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,618
and it feels like it's been forever.

180
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:36,978
And then pulling yourself back, kind of like,

181
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:38,118
almost like zooming out,

182
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,828
like you're feeling like you're on the space station

183
00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:44,478
or something and thinking about your place in time

184
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,068
and how that's, you know, that one year

185
00:11:46,110 --> 00:11:48,273
is absolutely nothing at all.

186
00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:53,118
And, you know, in comparison
to this vast amount of time

187
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,538
that has come to form everything around us

188
00:11:56,580 --> 00:11:59,808
and even the samples that we're going to get, you know,

189
00:11:59,850 --> 00:12:04,758
we go back ideally 20, you know, 24,000 years ago

190
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,768
to the last glacial maximum.

191
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:08,298
And in the scale of time,

192
00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:11,808
even that is just like a tiny little snippet

193
00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:13,998
of everything that's come before us.

194
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,448
And I think it's just kind of, I don't know,

195
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:20,358
I feel kind of like afloat and at peace with that

196
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,848
of just things are carrying on.

197
00:12:22,890 --> 00:12:25,308
And even though you can get really ingrained

198
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:27,018
and worry about the small things,

199
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:29,628
it's like you're part of this much larger story.

200
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:32,570
And I think there's kind of
a really great beauty in that.

201
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:39,520
- [Alan] The Earth displays changes on all time scales

202
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,418
and we can learn from all of it.

203
00:12:44,460 --> 00:12:48,948
That now the interesting
thing about studying the past

204
00:12:48,990 --> 00:12:52,308
is we can learn about changes

205
00:12:52,350 --> 00:12:55,158
that the Earth is capable of,

206
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,308
that simply haven't been witnessed

207
00:12:58,350 --> 00:13:01,158
in our recorded history

208
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,308
simply because the Earth hasn't changed that much.

209
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:09,168
It's when something changes that you can study it

210
00:13:09,210 --> 00:13:11,763
and figure out the mechanisms that make it go.

211
00:13:12,630 --> 00:13:17,028
But it's really hard to understand that,

212
00:13:17,070 --> 00:13:20,028
understand the long-term consequences of that.

213
00:13:20,070 --> 00:13:23,118
And it's really hard to calibrate a computer model

214
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,813
to predict that if you haven't
observed that happening.

215
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:31,990
Well, the only way you can observe that happening

216
00:13:33,090 --> 00:13:35,568
is to observe what has actually happened.

217
00:13:35,610 --> 00:13:37,998
Meaning you have to go to the past.

218
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,558
And so that's why we who are studying climate change

219
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,488
and changes in the ocean live in this time world,

220
00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:50,568
we find ways to, and in this case,

221
00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:53,298
what we're doing on this expedition

222
00:13:53,340 --> 00:13:56,028
is taking sediment cores that are layered

223
00:13:56,070 --> 00:13:59,238
and each layer is another time.

224
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,908
And it's very natural for us

225
00:14:01,950 --> 00:14:05,718
to then go read the sediment core just we read a book,

226
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,118
but what we're reading is back in time.

227
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,227
We're reading the history of the Earth.

228
00:14:14,291 --> 00:14:18,814
(crew members speaking indistinctly)

229
00:14:18,856 --> 00:14:23,856
- [Crew Member] Pull up, Leo.

230
00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:31,608
- We're supposed to be there at like 12:30, I think.

231
00:14:31,650 --> 00:14:33,648
I haven't seen Cap yet to tell
him that we're getting close

232
00:14:33,690 --> 00:14:36,783
to the sea ice, but if I see him, I'll let him know.

233
00:14:39,277 --> 00:14:40,110
All yours.

234
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:45,738
- [Chrissy] When I'm on here

235
00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:47,568
and I start getting into a routine,

236
00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:50,028
it goes by kind of quickly

237
00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:53,838
and I just, I'm doing not the same thing every day,

238
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,818
but, you know, same schedule every day.

239
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:58,878
And I try and stick to that routine

240
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,661
and it goes by faster than you think it does.

241
00:15:02,703 --> 00:15:06,408
Like I've already been on
for probably like half my hitch

242
00:15:06,450 --> 00:15:08,343
and I feel like I just got on.

243
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:13,188
- [Diego] You don't have a lot of free time, okay?

244
00:15:13,230 --> 00:15:16,368
You're gonna work a minimum of eight hours.

245
00:15:16,410 --> 00:15:19,788
You might be working 12 hours on some ships,

246
00:15:19,830 --> 00:15:22,773
but then you have 12 hours to yourself.

247
00:15:23,730 --> 00:15:25,038
A lot of ships,

248
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,098
you're not hanging out with the rest of the crew.

249
00:15:28,140 --> 00:15:32,808
You finish your work schedule

250
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:34,668
and you go to your room.

251
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:37,098
So you have 12 hours of your own.

252
00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:40,128
You probably wanna sleep, let's say eight.

253
00:15:40,170 --> 00:15:44,133
So that gives you four hours
to do whatever you want to do.

254
00:15:45,690 --> 00:15:48,138
It might be a little less than four hours

255
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:50,058
because, you know, you want to eat

256
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,088
or you know, you shower

257
00:15:53,130 --> 00:15:55,068
or like take care of your room, whatever,

258
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:57,948
you're left with, maybe three hours.

259
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:59,433
So you get to choose, like,

260
00:16:00,270 --> 00:16:02,748
you have three hours to
yourself, what are you gonna do?

261
00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:05,658
You start your three hours
of how are you gonna spend it.

262
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:08,208
You're gonna work out, you're gonna read a book,

263
00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:09,798
you're gonna do a craft.

264
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,898
So you kind of fill them with something.

265
00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:13,818
It's not like you can go out to the bar

266
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:16,098
and like have a drink with your friends.

267
00:16:16,140 --> 00:16:17,748
No. You have to find something to do.

268
00:16:17,790 --> 00:16:19,852
And usually, it's by yourself.

269
00:16:19,894 --> 00:16:22,727
(waves whooshing)

270
00:16:23,610 --> 00:16:26,358
- When I'm out here, I just, you know, like I say, I get up,

271
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,558
go do my thing, you know, get the day over with, go to bed.

272
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,918
We come into port, you know,

273
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,908
we like to play while we're in port, you know,

274
00:16:34,950 --> 00:16:38,118
go out, raise some hell, have a fill, you know,

275
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,888
basic sailor stuff.

276
00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:41,188
And then, but when I'm home, you know,

277
00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:43,028
I got two months to do whatever I want to do.

278
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:46,128
If I wanna jump on a plane and go to East Bolivia,

279
00:16:46,170 --> 00:16:47,958
I jump on a plane and go to East Bolivia.

280
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,178
If I don't wanna get up till 10 in the morning,

281
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:51,604
I don't get up till 10.

282
00:16:51,646 --> 00:16:52,938
You know, for two months,

283
00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:54,258
I can do whatever the hell I wanna do.

284
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:57,408
And that's the beauty of this job.

285
00:16:57,450 --> 00:16:59,328
Like I say, it's a pretty cool job

286
00:16:59,370 --> 00:17:01,248
and I'm fortunate to have it, you know,

287
00:17:01,290 --> 00:17:05,868
and most of the people, all the crew's awesome, you know,

288
00:17:05,910 --> 00:17:10,632
and the scientists, I'm gonna say 99.9% of them

289
00:17:10,674 --> 00:17:12,048
are all cool in my books.

290
00:17:12,090 --> 00:17:15,138
Once in a while you get your
occasional schmuck, you know,

291
00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:17,178
but I can deal with that, you know.

292
00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:19,248
But like I say, they're all good people

293
00:17:19,290 --> 00:17:21,108
and you know, everybody gets along.

294
00:17:21,150 --> 00:17:23,253
Hold that. Jib in a little more, Leo.

295
00:17:24,450 --> 00:17:25,593
Jib in a little more.

296
00:17:27,254 --> 00:17:28,045
All right, good.

297
00:17:28,087 --> 00:17:29,837
Boom up just a touch.

298
00:17:31,309 --> 00:17:32,309
That's good.

299
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,768
- [Alan] We are time travelers, you might consider.

300
00:17:36,810 --> 00:17:39,678
We will be traveling in time back

301
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,358
to see what this place was like 15,000 years ago,

302
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,828
20,000 years ago and so on.

303
00:17:45,870 --> 00:17:50,418
So that's a time when the ice was melting rapidly.

304
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:53,388
And so by traveling in time like this,

305
00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:58,430
we are going to understand how ice melts

306
00:17:58,890 --> 00:18:00,528
during a warming climate.

307
00:18:00,570 --> 00:18:04,278
We're gonna ask questions like, how fast did it melt?

308
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,678
How fast did sea level change?

309
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,958
What mechanism caused it to melt?

310
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,108
Was it a warming atmosphere
that melted it from the top?

311
00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:15,258
Or was it a warming ocean
that melted it from the bottom

312
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:17,268
and snuck in under the ice?

313
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,938
And so the only way to do that

314
00:18:19,980 --> 00:18:23,388
is by living in this time world

315
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:26,718
to see things that really happened.

316
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,807
It's not hypothetical, it happened.

317
00:18:30,849 --> 00:18:33,432
(gentle music)

318
00:19:04,486 --> 00:19:07,903
(gentle music continues)

319
00:19:41,787 --> 00:19:45,204
(gentle music continues)

320
00:20:32,055 --> 00:20:33,555
- [Rob] 16, 16, 2.

321
00:20:37,427 --> 00:20:38,260
16, 2.

322
00:20:39,787 --> 00:20:41,225
- [Crew Member] They got this one?

323
00:20:41,267 --> 00:20:42,767
- They did. - Okay.

324
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,158
- [Rob] You know, it's expensive to be out here, right?

325
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,908
So we wanna make sure that
we use every minute of every day

326
00:20:58,950 --> 00:21:02,283
doing something, you know, to address our question.

327
00:21:03,570 --> 00:21:07,128
We generally spend a lot of our time coring

328
00:21:07,170 --> 00:21:09,438
and a lot of our time collecting these materials,

329
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,498
but during the nighttime hours,

330
00:21:11,540 --> 00:21:13,338
we spend a lot of time surveying

331
00:21:13,380 --> 00:21:15,108
to try and identify those areas.

332
00:21:15,150 --> 00:21:17,148
So it's always this back and to,

333
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:19,728
this jockeying of trying to
find the next place to core

334
00:21:19,770 --> 00:21:21,618
and then the next day coring it

335
00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:24,138
and then the overnight trying to figure out, you know,

336
00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:24,978
the context for that

337
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:27,588
and then the next place to core after that.

338
00:21:27,630 --> 00:21:31,158
It's definitely two different parts to what we do,

339
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,988
but there's always something going on on the ship.

340
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:36,468
There's always something going on science-wise.

341
00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:39,078
- Aaron and Rob wasn't up yet and I'm up here,

342
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:42,888
and said someone switch out with me, like when you do,

343
00:21:42,930 --> 00:21:44,988
you know, like do a couple of come get me

344
00:21:45,030 --> 00:21:46,398
if someone wants to switch out.

345
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,288
And every time they like popped in there,

346
00:21:48,330 --> 00:21:49,758
I was like, does anyone wanna switch?

347
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,888
No, no. We went out there for this week.

348
00:21:51,930 --> 00:21:52,968
It's freezing.

349
00:21:53,010 --> 00:21:54,618
My ears and fingers were frozen

350
00:21:54,660 --> 00:21:56,598
within the five minutes of my (indistinct).

351
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,008
I was like, how are you guys doing this?

352
00:21:58,050 --> 00:21:59,538
And there were just smiles on their faces.

353
00:21:59,580 --> 00:22:01,068
They didn't have it me so they like,

354
00:22:01,110 --> 00:22:02,388
they think they got it figured out,

355
00:22:02,430 --> 00:22:03,708
but like it could be off a little bit.

356
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:05,589
So we also have to see why it looks like that.

357
00:22:05,631 --> 00:22:06,858
- [Crew Member] The second one is almost done

358
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:08,208
if you wanna see reconstructed,

359
00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:11,224
but if you're tired, you can go to bed.

360
00:22:11,266 --> 00:22:13,706
- That's 70, 80, 90.

361
00:22:13,748 --> 00:22:15,465
- [Crew Member] I'm getting
on this the high density layer

362
00:22:15,507 --> 00:22:16,578
and the soft layer.

363
00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:18,483
- [Kent] You do it once and you think forever like-

364
00:22:18,525 --> 00:22:20,279
- 271. - You get back to like

365
00:22:20,321 --> 00:22:21,112
degree four.

366
00:22:21,154 --> 00:22:22,721
You do it twice... Probably easiest,

367
00:22:22,763 --> 00:22:25,248
probably five, seven.

368
00:22:25,290 --> 00:22:26,593
So yeah, starting at 21.

369
00:22:51,932 --> 00:22:55,281
- Just let me know when you got half back on.

370
00:22:55,323 --> 00:22:56,410
(crew member speaking faintly)

371
00:22:56,452 --> 00:22:57,380
Sorry. Two-tenths.

372
00:22:57,422 --> 00:22:58,213
You're right. Two-tenths.

373
00:22:58,255 --> 00:23:01,505
- We're at two-tenth. - Okay, thank you.

374
00:23:05,557 --> 00:23:07,606
The one on the starboard bow.

375
00:23:07,648 --> 00:23:08,965
- [Crew Member] The one that's like sitting on it?

376
00:23:09,007 --> 00:23:09,840
- Yeah.

377
00:23:13,766 --> 00:23:14,599
Okay.

378
00:23:33,963 --> 00:23:36,678
- [Cara] I think I was always, you know, like as a kid,

379
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,218
pretty interested in the crazy things

380
00:23:40,260 --> 00:23:41,298
that live in the ocean.

381
00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:43,278
I sort of got into it by being interested

382
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,078
in all those weird creatures.

383
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,588
I just, it always amazes me that it's deep down

384
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:50,508
and it's dark and it's so cold

385
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:52,128
and it's up here in the arctic

386
00:23:52,170 --> 00:23:55,278
and there's still life like flourishing,

387
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,788
things in the water column,
like a crazy dumbo octopus

388
00:23:58,830 --> 00:24:03,830
and squid and tons of shrimp on the sea floor.

389
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,878
Many times it was covered in sort of these worms

390
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,428
that live in tubes, sea pens.

391
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:11,988
It's cool to see what's living now

392
00:24:12,030 --> 00:24:13,968
and because we're looking back in time

393
00:24:14,010 --> 00:24:16,218
and, you know, going back in the core

394
00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:18,588
hundreds and thousands of years

395
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:21,648
and you know that that was
at the sea surface at one point

396
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:23,568
and there were things living there.

397
00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:27,768
So we just need to see it in
the contrast of like the past,

398
00:24:27,810 --> 00:24:29,778
what the sediment looks like from long ago

399
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:32,163
and then what's going on, what's living now.

400
00:24:36,634 --> 00:24:39,760
(machine whirring)

401
00:24:39,802 --> 00:24:42,948
- [Katie] Whenever I tell my parents' friends

402
00:24:42,990 --> 00:24:46,338
or like my aunts and uncles that I'm going off to sea

403
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:48,708
on a research cruise for a month,

404
00:24:48,750 --> 00:24:50,118
they hear the word cruise

405
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,118
and they liken it to the types of cruises

406
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,498
that you go on in The Bahamas

407
00:24:54,540 --> 00:24:57,408
where they feed you all these fancy meals

408
00:24:57,450 --> 00:25:00,378
and you're relaxing at the pool

409
00:25:00,420 --> 00:25:04,503
and you're enjoying yourself, not working.

410
00:25:06,150 --> 00:25:08,358
And it's funny because I tell them

411
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,478
that I'm going to be working 12-hour shifts

412
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,058
and it's going to be a lot of work

413
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,998
in the short amount of time and it's gonna be fun.

414
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,468
Like, it's gonna be really fun for me

415
00:25:18,510 --> 00:25:20,208
because this is something that I love to do

416
00:25:20,250 --> 00:25:22,938
and I'm gonna be with people that I'm excited to be with,

417
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:24,558
but it's also gonna be a lot of work.

418
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,308
So it's definitely not anywhere near a luxury

419
00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:32,286
even though the dining food is very good, I will say.

420
00:25:32,328 --> 00:25:34,008
(crew member speaking faintly)

421
00:25:34,050 --> 00:25:37,818
- [Harry] I do ask the scientists

422
00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:40,158
just because I'm curious nature of, you know,

423
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,318
what are they doing, why are they doing

424
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,185
and that kind of thing because
that's always interested me.

425
00:25:45,227 --> 00:25:49,038
And it is completely two different entities.

426
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,168
They depend on us

427
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:56,210
and if we didn't have them, we wouldn't have a ship.

428
00:25:58,050 --> 00:26:00,858
- [Kenneth] Everybody has
their little spot in the world

429
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:02,313
and mine is cooking.

430
00:26:03,217 --> 00:26:05,628
And so if that's where it's gonna be,

431
00:26:05,670 --> 00:26:08,118
then I wanna be the best I can be.

432
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,753
I'll call it as my zen.

433
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,618
And it's where if someone can come in from their day,

434
00:26:15,660 --> 00:26:17,388
regardless of how it's going,

435
00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:20,178
and especially if it's a crappy day

436
00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:24,888
and take 10 to 15 minutes, enjoy what I've cooked

437
00:26:24,930 --> 00:26:26,838
and forget about their day

438
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,698
and just have a nice respite from what's going on,

439
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:34,458
then that's, I did my job.

440
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:36,051
That's my zen.

441
00:26:36,093 --> 00:26:38,688
You know, you kind of, you tried your best

442
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:41,688
to justify an existence

443
00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:46,698
and if you're a cook, that's part of your justification

444
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:51,498
that you can transport people from where they are

445
00:26:51,540 --> 00:26:56,028
to maybe just for a little while, just a little joy,

446
00:26:56,070 --> 00:27:00,768
a little pleasure to get away from all the hubbub

447
00:27:00,810 --> 00:27:02,643
that the world presents.

448
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,478
- [Kyle] Like, for us, it's important to make sure

449
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,828
that the science works.

450
00:27:09,870 --> 00:27:11,778
It's gotta be...

451
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:13,488
If we come out here,

452
00:27:13,530 --> 00:27:15,738
it's more than just keeping the boat running.

453
00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:17,298
We gotta make sure the boat's running,

454
00:27:17,340 --> 00:27:18,618
everything's perfect with the boat,

455
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:19,488
and then we gotta make sure

456
00:27:19,530 --> 00:27:20,688
everything's working with science.

457
00:27:20,730 --> 00:27:22,818
If there's something we can do to help them,

458
00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:24,288
we try very hard to help them.

459
00:27:24,330 --> 00:27:26,208
You know, that's part of our mission

460
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:28,008
is to make sure the science works.

461
00:27:28,050 --> 00:27:29,388
'Cause if the science doesn't work,

462
00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:32,418
then it's, you know, we're just out here wasting time.

463
00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:35,663
- Hold on. - Yeah, we did 16 and change.

464
00:27:35,705 --> 00:27:39,297
- 16 and change? - 16, 3 maybe.

465
00:27:39,339 --> 00:27:40,518
- Okay, we're gonna come up.

466
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,748
- [Kent] Pete and my relationship

467
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:45,918
is one of the more interesting ones.

468
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,068
I was a young, you know, relatively fresh officer.

469
00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:50,823
I was just becoming a chief mate.

470
00:27:51,660 --> 00:27:53,508
But he came off of 20 years of fishing

471
00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:55,608
and was pretty no nonsense

472
00:27:55,650 --> 00:27:59,628
and had been around the block more than a few times.

473
00:27:59,670 --> 00:28:02,028
I'm sure he did not wanna come out here

474
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:05,628
and start being told what to do by somebody,

475
00:28:05,670 --> 00:28:07,728
15 years, 10 years younger than him.

476
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:11,958
But when there was a few challenging things

477
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,838
that kind of came up right away, mostly with rigging,

478
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,928
we formed a bond, an unlikely bond

479
00:28:17,970 --> 00:28:19,758
in needing... You know what I'm saying?

480
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,928
- [Kent] To figure some things out

481
00:28:20,970 --> 00:28:21,768
together. - That's why I think

482
00:28:21,810 --> 00:28:23,091
you need it here. - It's been over-

483
00:28:23,133 --> 00:28:24,228
- [Kent] So I was really aware

484
00:28:24,270 --> 00:28:27,228
of the science equipment aspect of it,

485
00:28:27,270 --> 00:28:28,608
which is kind of fragile

486
00:28:28,650 --> 00:28:31,608
and delicate instruments and that sort of thing.

487
00:28:31,650 --> 00:28:36,348
And he came from a very rugged, get it done,

488
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:38,298
turn it around, make it happen,

489
00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:40,788
bang it around if need be, whatever.

490
00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:43,263
And so I gave him a little bit of the, you know,

491
00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:46,710
science equipment, you know, we can't slam that.

492
00:28:47,670 --> 00:28:50,778
And he brought in a bit of the, you know,

493
00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:51,993
let's get this done.

494
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,208
It just kind of, it went from there

495
00:28:56,250 --> 00:28:58,788
and the bosun's the top dog on deck,

496
00:28:58,830 --> 00:29:01,570
but that chief mate ends up becoming a captain

497
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:05,178
and now you can't get between them,

498
00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:08,538
an established relationship of a captain

499
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,308
and a long time bosun.

500
00:29:10,350 --> 00:29:13,863
And that's what Pete and I have been for 20 years now.

501
00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:16,023
- Come on in, lad.

502
00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:19,968
- [Pete] I know I couldn't work on shore

503
00:29:20,010 --> 00:29:22,638
'cause I've been doing this since I was 18 on 19,

504
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,708
I forget what year I started, you know,

505
00:29:24,750 --> 00:29:27,438
so there's no way I could have a regular job.

506
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,658
You know, like I say, everything's different.

507
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:30,648
You know, you might be doing ROV work,

508
00:29:30,690 --> 00:29:34,008
you might be doing moorings,
you might be doing this core

509
00:29:34,050 --> 00:29:35,688
and you might be towing nets.

510
00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:36,798
Every trip's different.

511
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,368
So it makes it a little not as mundane.

512
00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:43,158
You know, who gets to see what we're seeing out here?

513
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,898
Nobody gets to see that.

514
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:47,028
I was thinking about some of the stupid stuff

515
00:29:47,070 --> 00:29:48,108
that we'd done.

516
00:29:48,150 --> 00:29:51,528
Like, you know, we'd cross the equator

517
00:29:51,570 --> 00:29:54,828
and stop and hit golf balls over the equator

518
00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:56,268
just to say we did it.

519
00:29:56,310 --> 00:29:57,528
You know what I mean? (laughs)

520
00:29:57,570 --> 00:29:59,238
There's stuff like that that nobody...

521
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,308
Who the hell you know has ever hit a golf ball

522
00:30:01,350 --> 00:30:02,508
over the equator?

523
00:30:02,550 --> 00:30:04,368
Who do you know who's seen polar bear

524
00:30:04,410 --> 00:30:06,978
swimming around a hundred miles out at sea? You know?

525
00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:09,378
So that's the beauty of this job.

526
00:30:09,420 --> 00:30:11,268
Like I say, it's all different.

527
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:14,058
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not so easy.

528
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:15,813
Sometimes it really sucks.

529
00:30:19,203 --> 00:30:22,120
(machine whirring)

530
00:30:26,340 --> 00:30:28,578
- [Cara] So most of our piston cores we did

531
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:29,988
were about 60 feet long,

532
00:30:30,030 --> 00:30:32,688
but even the gravity cores that are 20 feet long,

533
00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:34,428
we can't really deal with the tube of mud

534
00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:35,261
that's 20 feet long.

535
00:30:35,303 --> 00:30:38,358
So the very first thing we do after we get it onboard

536
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,638
is to cut it into sections

537
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,030
that are about 5 feet long.

538
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:45,648
And we use a pipe cutter through that.

539
00:30:45,690 --> 00:30:48,888
So using it to cut through the PVC pipe

540
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:51,558
and then we separate it and put end caps on it

541
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,438
so that the mud doesn't fall out the end of the PVC pipe.

542
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,108
And then those, we call them the whole rounds,

543
00:30:57,150 --> 00:31:01,428
the unsplit round of core section,

544
00:31:01,470 --> 00:31:03,408
we label those so that we know

545
00:31:03,450 --> 00:31:05,568
which part of the core it's at.

546
00:31:05,610 --> 00:31:08,118
So we have to make sure the top section is number one

547
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,248
and down deeper and deeper.

548
00:31:10,290 --> 00:31:12,468
And then we bring it into our MST van.

549
00:31:12,510 --> 00:31:13,760
- [Crew Member] Big head.

550
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,348
- [Shannon] When the square liner comes up,

551
00:31:18,390 --> 00:31:19,968
we can't see through it,

552
00:31:20,010 --> 00:31:21,948
you know, so we don't necessarily know

553
00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:24,588
what the sediment inside looks like.

554
00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:28,218
And you can get a lot of information

555
00:31:28,260 --> 00:31:30,438
just from how the sediment looks

556
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:35,418
because if you have a lot of critters

557
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,758
living in the sediment, they'll mix everything up.

558
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,188
And so you kind of don't
really see these perfect layers.

559
00:31:40,230 --> 00:31:43,608
If you don't have those
critters, you might see these nice,

560
00:31:43,650 --> 00:31:45,378
what we call laminations,

561
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:49,068
which just look like perfect
little flat lying layers,

562
00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:51,048
almost like pages of a book.

563
00:31:51,090 --> 00:31:54,048
And you can see those in the MST van,

564
00:31:54,090 --> 00:31:56,448
you can see ice-rafted debris

565
00:31:56,490 --> 00:31:58,608
or these rocks that are carried from icebergs

566
00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:01,728
and then dropped off, you know, farther off from land.

567
00:32:01,770 --> 00:32:05,928
So you can see these ice-rafted debris in the MST van.

568
00:32:05,970 --> 00:32:09,438
And the way that we do that is through these CT scans

569
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,918
where we can x-ray and see inside the core liner.

570
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,638
And we can also take these
physical properties measurements.

571
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,588
So magnetic susceptibility,
density of the sediments,

572
00:32:21,630 --> 00:32:23,118
how they carry a current,

573
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,368
how they carry sound waves through them.

574
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:28,218
That helps us understand if there's major changes

575
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:33,260
in lithology or essentially like type of mud.

576
00:32:35,811 --> 00:32:38,394
(gentle music)

577
00:33:07,746 --> 00:33:09,588
- [Kyle] It's a different kind of life.

578
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:10,421
You know, we see things

579
00:33:10,463 --> 00:33:12,528
that a lot of people don't get to see,

580
00:33:12,570 --> 00:33:14,870
but then we also miss a lot of things in life.

581
00:33:17,070 --> 00:33:20,238
You miss your kids growing up, you know, I was gone a lot.

582
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,658
I mean, when I was home, I always made a point

583
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,398
to spend as much time with them as I could,

584
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,990
but I've always been gone a lot

585
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:31,578
and that's probably the biggest, you know, family.

586
00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:34,098
I've spent more time on this
thing than I have in the house

587
00:33:34,140 --> 00:33:35,523
in the last 18 years.

588
00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:41,148
Last year, I took three months off

589
00:33:41,190 --> 00:33:43,818
and that's the longest I've ever taken off

590
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:45,948
in probably 40 years.

591
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:48,918
You know, the longest single
time that I haven't worked,

592
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,858
you know, it was kind of, I was getting edgy by the end.

593
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:53,838
That's why I was glad to come back, you know?

594
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,278
I mean, I work every day.

595
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,708
I'm out of here for about seven months right now,

596
00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:58,578
and I work every day.

597
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:00,288
There's no days off.

598
00:34:00,330 --> 00:34:04,488
So when I go home, I don't do anything for the first week.

599
00:34:04,530 --> 00:34:08,178
I just sit around and look at what I wanna do

600
00:34:08,220 --> 00:34:10,518
and make my plans of what I gotta do.

601
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,878
And then I just slowly come alive and get into it.

602
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,923
But, you know, it takes me a
little while to throttle down.

603
00:34:17,922 --> 00:34:20,839
(machine whirring)

604
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,600
- [Crew Member] New target test, 1, 2, 0, 0.

605
00:35:13,928 --> 00:35:15,943
- [Man on Radio] 1, 2, 0, 0.

606
00:35:15,985 --> 00:35:16,848
- [Crew Member] Roger.

607
00:35:16,890 --> 00:35:17,837
- [Crew Member] That's the (indistinct).

608
00:35:52,530 --> 00:35:54,108
- [Mariah] You know, this ship's the first ship

609
00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:58,338
I've worked on with other
women on the crew consistently,

610
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:01,518
except for tall ships in my early career.

611
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,948
You know, it's hard to be the only one of anything

612
00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:05,328
in a group of people.

613
00:36:05,370 --> 00:36:08,958
So, you know, I've been treated well mostly,

614
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,928
but it's still a challenge

615
00:36:11,970 --> 00:36:13,893
when you're the only woman on a ship.

616
00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:17,358
I'm not totally sure I'd still be shipping out

617
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,678
if I didn't work here.

618
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,548
I'm 33, and I think I would put up

619
00:36:22,590 --> 00:36:23,928
with a lot less bullshit

620
00:36:23,970 --> 00:36:26,073
than I put up with in my early twenties.

621
00:36:41,235 --> 00:36:43,985
(drill whirring)

622
00:37:04,716 --> 00:37:07,383
(tool whirring)

623
00:37:22,394 --> 00:37:24,977
(fan whirring)

624
00:37:30,131 --> 00:37:32,964
(machine buzzing)

625
00:37:36,977 --> 00:37:38,493
- [Kyle] I like the isolation,

626
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:42,288
the fact that, you know, we have to handle it.

627
00:37:42,330 --> 00:37:44,688
We don't have anybody to, you know,

628
00:37:44,730 --> 00:37:45,828
we can't just make a call

629
00:37:45,870 --> 00:37:49,307
and get a boat to bring us parts if something happens.

630
00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:51,318
But that's, we're set up for that though, you know.

631
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,880
Before we leave, we supply up real well.

632
00:37:53,922 --> 00:37:56,755
(machine buzzing)

633
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,708
To be honest, you gotta be patient

634
00:38:00,750 --> 00:38:04,188
and you gotta be, you can't get worried.

635
00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:05,238
You can't get worried about...

636
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,693
You can't be excitable.

637
00:38:08,430 --> 00:38:09,918
You gotta get along with people.

638
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:10,988
That's probably the biggest thing

639
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:13,008
is you gotta be able to get along with people.

640
00:38:13,050 --> 00:38:16,338
You gotta be able to understand
that people have good days

641
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:18,978
and bad days, they have a bad day, you know, it's whatever.

642
00:38:19,020 --> 00:38:21,368
You know, you gotta learn to get along with people

643
00:38:21,410 --> 00:38:23,688
is probably the most important.

644
00:38:23,730 --> 00:38:26,298
One of the things that
helps, like, especially the crew,

645
00:38:26,340 --> 00:38:29,028
I think, is the fact that we do get a new batch

646
00:38:29,070 --> 00:38:32,538
of science every three to six weeks or whatever

647
00:38:32,580 --> 00:38:35,058
and they're all energized
and they're all excited about it

648
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:38,145
and that helps bring us back,
you know, it keeps us going.

649
00:38:38,187 --> 00:38:41,020
(machine buzzing)

650
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:48,383
- [Man on Radio] Come on down a little bit.

651
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,231
Okay. Hold that.

652
00:38:50,273 --> 00:38:51,220
Keep it level there.

653
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:10,080
- [Crew Member] I'll just let it take it (faintly speaking).

654
00:39:25,422 --> 00:39:28,172
(wind whistling)

655
00:39:41,993 --> 00:39:42,826
- Hi.

656
00:39:48,344 --> 00:39:50,688
How's it going (faintly speaking).

657
00:39:50,730 --> 00:39:51,652
That's so much better.

658
00:39:51,694 --> 00:39:53,026
- I know. Nice. (laughs)

659
00:39:53,068 --> 00:39:54,768
- There's only like six of them on there.

660
00:39:54,810 --> 00:39:57,528
- Yeah, I wrote on the Green past report,

661
00:39:57,570 --> 00:40:00,933
I was like, 10 icebergs. (chuckles)

662
00:40:02,156 --> 00:40:03,247
Are you ready? Do you want a minute?

663
00:40:03,289 --> 00:40:05,058
Do you need to make some coffee?

664
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:05,933
- Yeah. - Yeah.

665
00:40:08,670 --> 00:40:13,158
- [Derrick] I start sailing in 1980, but before that,

666
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,278
my dad and all of my uncles and them were all seamans,

667
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,313
merchant mariners.

668
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:21,588
Originally, I was actually born in Barbados, you know,

669
00:40:21,630 --> 00:40:26,418
so that is where I actually, you know, pick up,

670
00:40:26,460 --> 00:40:29,118
like, going on ships and stuff like that.

671
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,560
Learning what I had to learn to be out here, you know?

672
00:40:32,602 --> 00:40:35,088
And while my dad and my uncles

673
00:40:35,130 --> 00:40:38,028
and all of them were going away and they come back,

674
00:40:38,070 --> 00:40:39,618
you know, you see all the little gifts

675
00:40:39,660 --> 00:40:42,948
and Twinkies that they have, you know, it was like,

676
00:40:42,990 --> 00:40:44,461
they say, yeah, so one of these days,

677
00:40:44,503 --> 00:40:45,603
I have to be out here.

678
00:40:51,570 --> 00:40:52,818
- [Mariah] In my mind, the ocean

679
00:40:52,860 --> 00:40:56,688
is kind of uncaring, right?

680
00:40:56,730 --> 00:40:59,208
Like, we are on it,

681
00:40:59,250 --> 00:41:01,473
but it doesn't really give a shit about us.

682
00:41:02,616 --> 00:41:05,178
You know? And not in a bad way, like not in a malicious,

683
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:08,283
not caring way, but in a just like, whatever.

684
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,058
When it's calm like this,

685
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,218
I, you know, think it's pretty pleasant

686
00:41:13,260 --> 00:41:16,233
and then it gets rough and, you know, I curse it.

687
00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:22,008
The ocean is so big, right?

688
00:41:22,050 --> 00:41:26,628
And there's so many boats on it and animals in it,

689
00:41:26,670 --> 00:41:30,640
and I think it's kind of

690
00:41:32,070 --> 00:41:33,993
doing its own thing most of the time.

691
00:41:58,097 --> 00:42:01,014
- Yeah, you can go a little faster.

692
00:42:04,806 --> 00:42:08,056
(gentle pensive music)

693
00:42:22,347 --> 00:42:24,708
- [Rob] All of everything that's built up to this point

694
00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:25,848
and then that is the moment

695
00:42:25,890 --> 00:42:27,888
right before the cores come on back.

696
00:42:27,930 --> 00:42:29,478
It's excitement, it's anticipation.

697
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,138
It's wanting to know, you know, did we get a core,

698
00:42:33,180 --> 00:42:34,653
is a core gonna come back?

699
00:42:36,660 --> 00:42:39,198
Is there gonna be mud on top of the core?

700
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:41,628
Which suggests that the core went too deep.

701
00:42:41,670 --> 00:42:43,248
Is the core gonna be empty?

702
00:42:43,290 --> 00:42:45,678
Suggesting we didn't get the weight ready enough,

703
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:49,053
or we chose an area that wasn't great on the sea floor.

704
00:42:50,340 --> 00:42:52,548
It's also interesting because we're trying to hit

705
00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:54,588
these really small areas on the sea floor

706
00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:57,078
from two kilometers away, right?

707
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,478
So there's a lot, you know, we can design the best survey,

708
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,608
we can design the best tactics

709
00:43:01,650 --> 00:43:03,738
to try and extract those sediments,

710
00:43:03,780 --> 00:43:06,828
but at some point, you just have to let the core go

711
00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:08,478
down to the bottom of the ocean

712
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,628
and what comes back is hopefully what you want.

713
00:43:11,670 --> 00:43:13,008
But the ocean gets to decide

714
00:43:13,050 --> 00:43:15,348
and the mud gets to decide what comes back.

715
00:43:15,390 --> 00:43:19,008
So at some point, it's up to the gods of the ice

716
00:43:19,050 --> 00:43:21,378
and the gods of the ocean and the gods of the weather

717
00:43:21,420 --> 00:43:25,578
as to whether we can even get to those areas

718
00:43:25,620 --> 00:43:26,844
and address our questions.

719
00:43:26,886 --> 00:43:30,136
(gentle pensive music)

720
00:43:40,722 --> 00:43:41,991
- [Crew Member] We're good?

721
00:43:42,033 --> 00:43:42,961
- Yes. - We're good.

722
00:43:43,003 --> 00:43:45,933
- 317, 1600 on two.

723
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,658
Power mode starboard stick, autopilot.

724
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:51,783
No contacts.

725
00:43:53,490 --> 00:43:55,368
So we're steaming right now.

726
00:43:55,410 --> 00:43:57,708
We're gonna start science or start a survey there.

727
00:43:57,750 --> 00:44:00,198
I don't have way points yet, but you know,

728
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:01,908
those will come maybe.

729
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:06,288
But fun addition to the plan

730
00:44:06,330 --> 00:44:10,308
is that way point is this way point,

731
00:44:10,350 --> 00:44:12,618
right on the edge of the sea ice.

732
00:44:12,660 --> 00:44:14,568
- Nice. - Yeah.

733
00:44:14,610 --> 00:44:16,698
So we looked up the egg code for this

734
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:19,758
and it's like, was it J?

735
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,803
So it's five-tenths covered.

736
00:44:24,990 --> 00:44:29,898
Some of it is new, like, one-tenth of that is new ice

737
00:44:29,940 --> 00:44:32,808
and four-tenths of that is old chunks,

738
00:44:32,850 --> 00:44:36,348
icebergs perhaps, old big chunks.

739
00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:38,268
- [Crew Member] Okay, maybe we can shoot that,

740
00:44:38,310 --> 00:44:40,098
maybe we can try to shoot that gap.

741
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:41,813
- [Crew Member] Maybe like (faintly speaking) 130.

742
00:44:43,341 --> 00:44:44,343
- [Crew Member] 130?

743
00:44:44,385 --> 00:44:46,052
No good right there.

744
00:44:47,191 --> 00:44:49,067
- [Crew Member] Like, to the left,

745
00:44:49,109 --> 00:44:50,448
if I say to the right of that sheet,

746
00:44:50,490 --> 00:44:51,933
that's like two points.

747
00:44:54,030 --> 00:44:55,008
- Right here. - Yeah.

748
00:44:55,050 --> 00:44:56,598
(crew member speaks faintly)

749
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,128
- [Crew Member] That looks good (faintly speaking).

750
00:44:58,170 --> 00:44:59,148
- [Crew Member] This is a great line

751
00:44:59,190 --> 00:45:04,098
if we can carry this for about another mile.

752
00:45:04,140 --> 00:45:05,418
- [Crew Member] Yeah, that's like behind the starboard,

753
00:45:05,460 --> 00:45:07,310
this is starboard (faintly speaking).

754
00:45:08,556 --> 00:45:11,568
There's some stuff in the (faintly speaking).

755
00:45:11,610 --> 00:45:13,318
There's some stuff further off,

756
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,443
but I have to point starboard bow after this guy.

757
00:45:18,956 --> 00:45:19,950
- [Crew Member] Okay, it's coming above.

758
00:45:19,992 --> 00:45:22,668
It's coming up. Doing good.

759
00:45:22,710 --> 00:45:24,655
Check your starboard side a little bit.

760
00:45:24,697 --> 00:45:26,447
- [Crew Member] Okay.

761
00:45:35,762 --> 00:45:36,884
(crew member speaking faintly)

762
00:45:36,926 --> 00:45:39,426
- Look at it, Chrissy. - Okay.

763
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:42,950
All right.

764
00:45:42,992 --> 00:45:47,928
Tell me where I (faintly speaking).

765
00:45:47,970 --> 00:45:51,438
- [Alan] It would be naive to think

766
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:56,238
that every single statement
made by every scientist

767
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,843
is 100% correct.

768
00:45:59,850 --> 00:46:01,428
That's just not the way it works.

769
00:46:01,470 --> 00:46:04,788
Every single statement made by scientists

770
00:46:04,830 --> 00:46:06,480
in the course of doing their jobs

771
00:46:07,380 --> 00:46:10,720
is an approach

772
00:46:12,510 --> 00:46:15,490
toward the truth, getting closer to truth

773
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,553
in complex unknown situations.

774
00:46:22,140 --> 00:46:27,018
Each publication of the scientific literature

775
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:31,008
is an approach toward truth,

776
00:46:31,050 --> 00:46:34,908
but truth is always something we strive

777
00:46:34,950 --> 00:46:37,698
to get closer and closer to.

778
00:46:37,740 --> 00:46:42,273
We don't deliver it, signed, sealed, and delivered.

779
00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:50,883
It's a process and it's important
to understand the science.

780
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:53,838
We refer to the scientific process

781
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,230
and that is the forever job

782
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:02,800
of getting closer and closer to truth.

783
00:47:04,620 --> 00:47:06,120
- [Chrissy] Radar looks clear.

784
00:47:09,978 --> 00:47:12,645
(waves lapping)

785
00:47:27,750 --> 00:47:29,208
- [Mariah] My mom was the first person

786
00:47:29,250 --> 00:47:30,588
that ever took me on a boat.

787
00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:32,478
Her job was going out in a Zodiac

788
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,868
and setting up the spotting
scope near their haul out sites

789
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:40,910
and counting seals, monitoring the population.

790
00:47:41,010 --> 00:47:42,228
And so, you know,

791
00:47:42,270 --> 00:47:46,158
she would take me out in the
boat when I was four years old

792
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,708
and get a scoop of marsh mud,

793
00:47:48,750 --> 00:47:50,358
plop it in the bottom of the Zodiac

794
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,188
and I would be totally entertained

795
00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:54,543
picking shells out of mud for hours.

796
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,113
- Down or sideways,

797
00:48:02,070 --> 00:48:04,158
but this one is just paralleling this.

798
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:04,991
- Okay, we'll see.

799
00:48:05,033 --> 00:48:05,866
We'll see.

800
00:48:07,230 --> 00:48:10,548
This whole section was real icy last night,

801
00:48:10,590 --> 00:48:13,488
but it was also pea soup fog, so maybe it won't be so bad.

802
00:48:13,530 --> 00:48:14,968
- Yeah.

803
00:48:15,010 --> 00:48:15,801
- All right. What's the next point?

804
00:48:15,843 --> 00:48:19,683
- All right. 7107.744.

805
00:48:22,969 --> 00:48:25,197
- Okay. - And then, 6056.085.

806
00:48:30,398 --> 00:48:33,065
(water lapping)

807
00:48:38,383 --> 00:48:40,398
- [Katie] I think when you see a scientist

808
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,518
portrayed in a film, or even some documentaries,

809
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,108
you see them as this person
who isn't even really a person.

810
00:48:48,150 --> 00:48:51,048
You're very disconnected from your personhood

811
00:48:51,090 --> 00:48:53,208
and your family and the things that you love

812
00:48:53,250 --> 00:48:56,178
and your friends and that they're just a scientist

813
00:48:56,220 --> 00:48:58,848
and they're there to look at the data

814
00:48:58,890 --> 00:49:00,768
and that's who they are.

815
00:49:00,810 --> 00:49:01,983
No personality.

816
00:49:02,850 --> 00:49:06,400
And I think I've noticed that in my personal life

817
00:49:07,590 --> 00:49:08,658
that that carries over

818
00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:12,048
with hearing other people's
perceptions of scientists,

819
00:49:12,090 --> 00:49:15,723
like actual scientists, not
just the scientists in films.

820
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,748
I think it does a disservice to who we are as people,

821
00:49:20,790 --> 00:49:22,998
even though that we love the work that we do

822
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,323
and we're all so excited to be here.

823
00:49:26,610 --> 00:49:28,908
And it is, to some extent, our entire lives.

824
00:49:28,950 --> 00:49:30,438
Our lives revolve around this.

825
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,658
Our friends and our colleagues,

826
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:34,578
it all blends together a bit.

827
00:49:34,620 --> 00:49:36,888
But I think the way that scientists

828
00:49:36,930 --> 00:49:38,590
are sometimes portrayed in films

829
00:49:39,901 --> 00:49:41,598
is definitely not as human.

830
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,940
- [Crew Member] Sheet ice.

831
00:49:44,730 --> 00:49:45,521
- [Crew Member] Crushed ice?

832
00:49:45,563 --> 00:49:47,628
- [Crew Member] And also it's really comical to me

833
00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:49,331
that our ice machine is broken right now.

834
00:49:49,373 --> 00:49:52,137
(both laughing)

835
00:49:52,179 --> 00:49:52,998
- [Crew Member] I didn't think about that.

836
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,408
- [Crew Member] Just go grab some.

837
00:49:54,450 --> 00:49:56,183
- One, two, three.

838
00:49:56,225 --> 00:49:57,016
(tube thudding)

839
00:49:57,058 --> 00:49:59,007
- [Crew Member] Oh God. Okay, keep it together.

840
00:49:59,049 --> 00:50:00,423
- Okay. This?

841
00:50:02,370 --> 00:50:03,678
Should I slice all that?

842
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:04,968
- Oh, we have to go back.

843
00:50:05,010 --> 00:50:06,348
- I'm gonna go grab Brendan.

844
00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:07,428
- [Brendan] Don't panic.

845
00:50:07,470 --> 00:50:09,028
Take your time. - I was like, you can't do it.

846
00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:09,963
- Jiggle it.

847
00:50:10,005 --> 00:50:11,824
Get in there with the DI water, right?

848
00:50:11,866 --> 00:50:14,388
And really, and then just, like, cut along the top

849
00:50:14,430 --> 00:50:17,628
'cause as soon as it starts unfolding, like, it goes.

850
00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:21,768
I got started in this because I went out to sea

851
00:50:21,810 --> 00:50:25,998
and just really enjoyed the whole experience of it.

852
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,948
The learning something new every day.

853
00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:30,048
The pulling up a core

854
00:50:30,090 --> 00:50:32,028
and putting it out on the description table

855
00:50:32,070 --> 00:50:34,548
and standing around and you know, discussing

856
00:50:34,590 --> 00:50:36,828
with the people that you're working with,

857
00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:38,688
what story you think that core has

858
00:50:38,730 --> 00:50:40,818
and what we can learn from it

859
00:50:40,860 --> 00:50:43,368
and what future research could come from it.

860
00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:45,378
It's just kind of an exciting thing.

861
00:50:45,420 --> 00:50:47,238
It's a real privilege to be able to go out

862
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,668
and explore the world this way.

863
00:50:49,710 --> 00:50:51,108
To be able to explore the world

864
00:50:51,150 --> 00:50:53,808
in a way that gives the window to the past, right?

865
00:50:53,850 --> 00:50:55,368
Like that, you know,

866
00:50:55,410 --> 00:50:57,408
we're not just learning about the world as this today,

867
00:50:57,450 --> 00:51:00,948
we're learning about the
world as it was 20,000 years ago

868
00:51:00,990 --> 00:51:02,401
and how different that was

869
00:51:02,443 --> 00:51:05,898
as a world that's kind of difficult to comprehend

870
00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:07,903
in some ways. - The muskox.

871
00:51:09,150 --> 00:51:11,988
Yeah, really, Aaron just started like looking down

872
00:51:12,030 --> 00:51:12,821
for shells again

873
00:51:12,863 --> 00:51:15,248
and talking about like whatever conversation-

874
00:51:15,290 --> 00:51:16,649
(all laughing)

875
00:51:16,691 --> 00:51:19,314
- We just like collect some... You're almost eaten.

876
00:51:19,356 --> 00:51:20,756
Oh my God. - And I be like,

877
00:51:22,154 --> 00:51:23,912
can we just talk about (indistinct).

878
00:51:23,954 --> 00:51:24,745
- It probably got... Scared away.

879
00:51:24,787 --> 00:51:26,328
- [Crew Member] There's the helicopter-

880
00:51:26,370 --> 00:51:27,318
- Oh my god. - That came.

881
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,348
So that it zoomed in and started herding of it.

882
00:51:30,390 --> 00:51:34,908
But these wolves, I mean, other than our group-

883
00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:36,288
- They're so close. - They had probably

884
00:51:36,330 --> 00:51:37,416
never seen humans.

885
00:51:37,458 --> 00:51:40,218
- [Crew Member] Yeah. Yeah, they don't know what to say.

886
00:51:40,260 --> 00:51:42,318
- The captain went up for 12 to 15 hours

887
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,068
navigating through the ice
with different watch leaders.

888
00:51:46,110 --> 00:51:48,228
So he's gonna take a break.

889
00:51:48,270 --> 00:51:51,258
So in that time while the captain was taking a break,

890
00:51:51,300 --> 00:51:53,655
we get up on the shelf, nothing else (faintly speaking).

891
00:51:53,697 --> 00:51:54,648
- [Pete] You gotta make sure

892
00:51:54,690 --> 00:51:56,628
all your equipment's running right.

893
00:51:56,670 --> 00:51:59,298
Something goes wrong in the middle of, you know,

894
00:51:59,340 --> 00:52:01,818
you got a 10,000 pound anchor in the air

895
00:52:01,860 --> 00:52:04,008
and something goes wrong,

896
00:52:04,050 --> 00:52:05,688
it's not a good scene, you know,

897
00:52:05,730 --> 00:52:07,782
especially if you can't get it down.

898
00:52:07,824 --> 00:52:08,778
You know what I mean?

899
00:52:08,820 --> 00:52:10,098
So you gotta pay attention to that.

900
00:52:10,140 --> 00:52:11,868
You gotta keep up on your equipment.

901
00:52:11,910 --> 00:52:15,408
You gotta make sure you know where everybody is.

902
00:52:15,450 --> 00:52:17,778
Okay, you are doing that, you are doing that.

903
00:52:17,820 --> 00:52:19,548
I got this. Okay?

904
00:52:19,590 --> 00:52:22,488
You know, your other eight
people that are standing around,

905
00:52:22,530 --> 00:52:24,675
get out of the way, you know what I mean?

906
00:52:24,717 --> 00:52:27,667
And you have to tell them
that or they'll just stand there.

907
00:52:29,351 --> 00:52:34,351
You're good?

908
00:52:38,392 --> 00:52:40,178
- I mainly look at the phytoplankton.

909
00:52:40,220 --> 00:52:42,945
So that's the fissures you can't see.

910
00:52:42,987 --> 00:52:44,628
But they also have to find some species

911
00:52:44,670 --> 00:52:47,570
that are associated with the
ice that we have around here.

912
00:52:48,690 --> 00:52:52,608
- Zooplankton, larger mesh size.

913
00:52:52,650 --> 00:52:54,063
So we get the big ice.

914
00:52:56,430 --> 00:52:58,638
Well, it's springtime, the ice is pulled back

915
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,646
and it's plankton party time.

916
00:53:00,688 --> 00:53:04,271
- [Crew Member] Okay, get ready. Slow down.

917
00:53:09,420 --> 00:53:11,238
- [Pete] You gotta keep everybody safe,

918
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,335
especially doing what I do, you know.

919
00:53:13,377 --> 00:53:15,428
You gotta watch, you know.

920
00:53:15,470 --> 00:53:17,298
That's why I'm trying to teach Keenan, you know.

921
00:53:17,340 --> 00:53:20,028
Hey, dude, always look up, make sure you're looking up,

922
00:53:20,070 --> 00:53:22,218
you know, don't just focus on this.

923
00:53:22,260 --> 00:53:24,858
You got cranes coming around, you got, you know,

924
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:26,538
you got blocks up there, you got...

925
00:53:26,580 --> 00:53:27,678
You know, look up, make sure...

926
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:28,728
Hey, holy Christ,

927
00:53:28,770 --> 00:53:30,528
that thing's gonna come off there, you know?

928
00:53:30,570 --> 00:53:31,908
So that's another thing.

929
00:53:31,950 --> 00:53:34,000
You gotta make sure everybody stays safe.

930
00:53:40,530 --> 00:53:42,395
- [Crew Member] It doesn't look good out there.

931
00:53:42,437 --> 00:53:46,390
- [Crew Member] It's a (indistinct).

932
00:53:46,432 --> 00:53:48,051
(crew members speaking faintly)

933
00:53:48,093 --> 00:53:50,358
- [Pete] You know, the icebergs and all that stuff,

934
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:51,588
you go down the Southern Ocean,

935
00:53:51,630 --> 00:53:53,778
there's icebergs the size of Rhode Island

936
00:53:53,820 --> 00:53:57,228
for Christ's sakes, but the
sea ice is a little different.

937
00:53:57,270 --> 00:54:00,648
I haven't been up this high north, you know.

938
00:54:00,690 --> 00:54:02,028
I mean, I've come up, you know,

939
00:54:02,070 --> 00:54:05,088
knowing we were at Disko Bay, I've come up that high,

940
00:54:05,130 --> 00:54:07,668
maybe a little bit high, but not way up like this.

941
00:54:07,710 --> 00:54:09,798
I've never seen all this sea ice,

942
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,778
and I certainly haven't seen any polar bears.

943
00:54:11,820 --> 00:54:13,098
- [Crew Member] Some sheet stuff to the left,

944
00:54:13,140 --> 00:54:15,125
but we won't get it.

945
00:54:15,167 --> 00:54:19,008
(crew members speaking indistinctly)

946
00:54:19,050 --> 00:54:22,415
- Just like over there? - Yeah, right there.

947
00:54:22,457 --> 00:54:24,392
Right here. - Okay.

948
00:54:24,434 --> 00:54:27,673
- [Crew Member] The sheet is probably (faintly speaking).

949
00:54:27,715 --> 00:54:30,465
(dramatic music)

950
00:54:41,503 --> 00:54:43,938
- [Rob] The one of the most unstable ice sheets right now

951
00:54:43,980 --> 00:54:46,248
is the Western Antarctic ice sheet.

952
00:54:46,290 --> 00:54:49,638
It's got a lot of sea level rise in it should it melt

953
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,178
and it's marine terminating, meaning that it ends

954
00:54:53,220 --> 00:54:54,318
in contact with the ocean.

955
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,960
So it can be strongly affected by ocean temperature.

956
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,888
And that's how Greenland was 20,000 years ago.

957
00:55:00,930 --> 00:55:03,528
You know, ice was several hundred miles off

958
00:55:03,570 --> 00:55:05,058
where the current coastline is right now.

959
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:07,878
It was set right at the shelf edge.

960
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,678
So it was grounded at the,

961
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:14,268
where the continental shelf goes into deeper water

962
00:55:14,310 --> 00:55:17,478
and then it was interacting with ocean water.

963
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,088
So it's not a perfect analog

964
00:55:20,130 --> 00:55:22,218
for, you know, Antarctica right now.

965
00:55:22,260 --> 00:55:24,738
There's a lot of different variables

966
00:55:24,780 --> 00:55:27,858
from a first order sense trying to figure out,

967
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:31,248
can the ocean cause destabilization

968
00:55:31,290 --> 00:55:35,650
and collapse of some of these
continental scale ice sheets

969
00:55:36,870 --> 00:55:38,988
in a relatively short time period

970
00:55:39,030 --> 00:55:40,578
is really important to understand

971
00:55:40,620 --> 00:55:42,948
for how we think about, you know,

972
00:55:42,990 --> 00:55:44,508
what ice is left on the planet.

973
00:55:44,550 --> 00:55:45,798
And if all of that was to melt,

974
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,648
then how much would that
contribute to sea level rise

975
00:55:48,690 --> 00:55:50,290
and over what kind of timeframe?

976
00:55:54,979 --> 00:55:58,051
(crew member speaking faintly)

977
00:55:58,093 --> 00:55:59,118
(metal clanking)

978
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,203
- [Crew Member] That's it.

979
00:56:01,055 --> 00:56:03,063
We just need to slide up there.

980
00:56:05,850 --> 00:56:08,600
(water swishing)

981
00:56:15,750 --> 00:56:18,168
- So surveying and then more surveying.

982
00:56:18,210 --> 00:56:20,328
Is Cap not up?

983
00:56:20,370 --> 00:56:25,098
- He went to shower 'cause you know-

984
00:56:25,140 --> 00:56:26,988
- He's been out for 14 hours. - Yeah.

985
00:56:27,030 --> 00:56:28,068
- Yeah.

986
00:56:28,110 --> 00:56:28,938
I'm gonna make some coffee

987
00:56:28,980 --> 00:56:30,483
while you finish your turn.

988
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,378
- You know, doing a swoop.

989
00:56:36,420 --> 00:56:37,968
- Doing a swoop? Yeah.

990
00:56:38,010 --> 00:56:39,588
- Kind of slow swoop. Sorry.

991
00:56:39,630 --> 00:56:40,788
I could have picked it up

992
00:56:40,830 --> 00:56:43,038
and just thought maybe... It's all right.

993
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:43,871
- I'm gonna be (indistinct).

994
00:56:43,913 --> 00:56:44,753
Give me coffee or something.

995
00:56:44,795 --> 00:56:47,771
- Okay, he's gonna... Thanks.

996
00:56:47,813 --> 00:56:49,263
- I have. - We'll be asleep.

997
00:56:50,490 --> 00:56:53,653
Can Keenan need more water? (laughs)

998
00:56:55,841 --> 00:56:58,261
My jokes aren't funny, I'm just tired.

999
00:56:58,303 --> 00:56:59,868
- Your jokes are always funny, Chrissy.

1000
00:56:59,910 --> 00:57:01,843
- It's not. (laughs)

1001
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,168
Brittany's like, no, they're not.

1002
00:57:06,210 --> 00:57:07,510
I've stood watch with her.

1003
00:57:09,030 --> 00:57:10,428
- My sister also commented, she's like,

1004
00:57:10,470 --> 00:57:12,558
how do you take a video while you're driving the boat?

1005
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,763
Autopilot, baby. (laughs)

1006
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,088
- [Chrissy] But it's cold outside, so.

1007
00:57:20,130 --> 00:57:22,025
- Yeah, don't die.

1008
00:57:22,067 --> 00:57:23,328
- I won't. - Okay.

1009
00:57:23,370 --> 00:57:24,738
- [Chrissy] I mean, Brittany's got a license,

1010
00:57:24,780 --> 00:57:26,838
so you would be all right.

1011
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,278
- [Brittany] I could never replace us.

1012
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,018
- [Mariah] Plus, if you die, there's so much paperwork.

1013
00:57:30,060 --> 00:57:31,878
I'd have to write a report. Oh my god.

1014
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,720
- [Chrissy] So nice to have friends.

1015
00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:42,918
- [Pete] After we hit, we're gonna come out of the mud,

1016
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,988
we're gonna bring it up all the way to the top.

1017
00:57:45,030 --> 00:57:49,218
Now you come up, you get rid of the trigger arm.

1018
00:57:49,260 --> 00:57:51,708
So now you're just on that rope.

1019
00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:55,398
At that point, we bring it up, get it up as high as we can,

1020
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:56,943
get it in the bucket and down.

1021
00:57:57,826 --> 00:57:58,668
Now it's clean.

1022
00:57:58,710 --> 00:58:02,223
Now I gotta get the crane
over, take it from that bucket,

1023
00:58:03,090 --> 00:58:04,098
bring it around the side,

1024
00:58:04,140 --> 00:58:05,778
put it in the other bucket,

1025
00:58:05,820 --> 00:58:07,908
and then we're gonna start picking that up.

1026
00:58:07,950 --> 00:58:11,718
That brings the pipe horizontal,

1027
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,368
get it up over the rail.

1028
00:58:13,410 --> 00:58:17,958
Now we just bring the bucket in, crane follows them in,

1029
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,078
get the pipe on the rail, strap it down-

1030
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:21,911
- [Crew Member] We're all the way in.

1031
00:58:21,953 --> 00:58:22,744
- [Pete] Get rid of the crane,

1032
00:58:22,786 --> 00:58:24,288
and then the scientists do their thing.

1033
00:58:24,330 --> 00:58:28,683
They extract the core and they do whatever they do.

1034
00:58:30,510 --> 00:58:34,728
- [Alan] A fundamental human drive is to understand,

1035
00:58:34,770 --> 00:58:37,758
understand our place on the earth, on the universe.

1036
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,513
And I think we'll always do that.

1037
00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:45,040
So what we're here

1038
00:58:46,410 --> 00:58:50,628
on research vessel Neil Armstrong doing

1039
00:58:50,670 --> 00:58:53,598
is exploring for knowledge,

1040
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,533
but it's a knowledge with a purpose.

1041
00:58:56,430 --> 00:59:01,068
Indeed, it's to try to understand the consequences

1042
00:59:01,110 --> 00:59:03,528
of some of that other kind of exploration,

1043
00:59:03,570 --> 00:59:04,878
that resource exploration

1044
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:09,588
that has got us into the bind we are today.

1045
00:59:09,630 --> 00:59:13,698
And the need for some pretty major transformation

1046
00:59:13,740 --> 00:59:17,103
in the way we run our societies.

1047
00:59:21,090 --> 00:59:21,940
- Bridge, Mariah.

1048
00:59:24,042 --> 00:59:24,875
Okay.

1049
00:59:26,670 --> 00:59:27,503
Uh-huh.

1050
00:59:30,330 --> 00:59:31,163
Yeah.

1051
00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:36,813
Okay, let me fix that.

1052
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,808
I mean, why not be right?

1053
00:59:44,850 --> 00:59:47,418
Yeah, well, you know, then we can judge Chrissy

1054
00:59:47,460 --> 00:59:49,248
if she doesn't park exactly on the spot.

1055
00:59:49,290 --> 00:59:50,130
- [Chrissy] All right.

1056
00:59:50,172 --> 00:59:50,968
(Mariah laughing)

1057
00:59:51,010 --> 00:59:53,793
- Okay. 627 should be 624.

1058
00:59:56,505 --> 00:59:57,468
That's definitely...

1059
00:59:57,510 --> 00:59:58,938
You were in a little bit of ice last night.

1060
00:59:58,980 --> 01:00:02,129
- Yeah, it's definitely come this way, right?

1061
01:00:02,171 --> 01:00:03,168
- I don't know.

1062
01:00:03,210 --> 01:00:04,728
I mean, we only have the...

1063
01:00:04,770 --> 01:00:05,958
It'd be cool to like be able to,

1064
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,388
I can only go back 24 hours in our read,

1065
01:00:08,430 --> 01:00:10,249
you know, so like, I don't know.

1066
01:00:10,291 --> 01:00:11,148
- Yeah, we caught around here.

1067
01:00:11,190 --> 01:00:12,678
- This was icy, I think.

1068
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:13,563
Parts of that.

1069
01:00:15,510 --> 01:00:16,518
Wait, wait, wait.

1070
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:17,351
You gotta have

1071
01:00:17,393 --> 01:00:18,207
the full experience. - Sorry.

1072
01:00:18,249 --> 01:00:19,082
- Okay.

1073
01:00:20,340 --> 01:00:21,540
- Holy shit, that's a...

1074
01:00:22,380 --> 01:00:24,254
- [Mariah] Is that a seal or a polar bear?

1075
01:00:24,296 --> 01:00:26,481
Holy shit. Holy shit.

1076
01:00:26,523 --> 01:00:27,837
- Amazing. - Holy shit.

1077
01:00:27,879 --> 01:00:29,009
That's a polar bear.

1078
01:00:29,051 --> 01:00:31,572
(Mariah laughing)

1079
01:00:31,614 --> 01:00:33,359
- Slickers too?

1080
01:00:33,401 --> 01:00:34,463
Was that this morning? - Holy-

1081
01:00:34,505 --> 01:00:36,280
- Yeah. - Dude.

1082
01:00:36,322 --> 01:00:37,655
- [Mariah] Shit.

1083
01:00:40,252 --> 01:00:41,400
- This old snoop.

1084
01:00:41,442 --> 01:00:43,556
- Look, he's doing polar bear things.

1085
01:00:43,598 --> 01:00:45,091
- He's so cute.

1086
01:00:45,133 --> 01:00:47,883
(metal clanking)

1087
01:00:48,845 --> 01:00:51,145
- [Crew Member] All right, the end is coming.

1088
01:00:51,187 --> 01:00:52,938
- [Crew Member] The end is near.

1089
01:00:52,980 --> 01:00:55,465
- [Crew Member] 334511.

1090
01:00:55,507 --> 01:00:56,705
- [Crew Member] Got it. 60?

1091
01:00:56,747 --> 01:00:59,045
- [Harry] It's a labor of love and it's,

1092
01:00:59,087 --> 01:01:03,408
'cause I'm doing it for family, I'm doing it for, you know,

1093
01:01:03,450 --> 01:01:04,998
we're doing it for everybody.

1094
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,328
It's like we're taking care
of the heartbeat of the ship.

1095
01:01:08,370 --> 01:01:11,748
I mean, 'cause this is where everybody socializes.

1096
01:01:11,790 --> 01:01:14,808
Everybody comes here at least three times a day,

1097
01:01:14,850 --> 01:01:15,978
if not more.

1098
01:01:16,020 --> 01:01:18,078
- Nobody's grabbed any ice?

1099
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:19,367
- [Mariah] Well, it's been so (indistinct).

1100
01:01:21,060 --> 01:01:23,028
- Yeah, you probably don't want that.

1101
01:01:23,070 --> 01:01:26,757
But it's covered. - I will lead it. (laughs)

1102
01:01:28,740 --> 01:01:30,440
- I was on a cruise once where...

1103
01:01:31,770 --> 01:01:32,870
- [Harry] For my life,

1104
01:01:34,350 --> 01:01:36,678
considering my background where I came from,

1105
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,368
I've been lucky enough I've
been to 24 different countries

1106
01:01:40,410 --> 01:01:45,408
and out of, I think, probably 22 of those,

1107
01:01:45,450 --> 01:01:48,048
23 of those, I've had a beer

1108
01:01:48,090 --> 01:01:50,265
or some type of adult beverage there.

1109
01:01:50,307 --> 01:01:53,277
And I wanna try to keep that going in Greenland.

1110
01:02:40,197 --> 01:02:42,947
(dramatic music)

1111
01:02:51,903 --> 01:02:54,820
(machine whirring)

1112
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:08,838
- [Cara] The time on the ship is crazy.

1113
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:13,098
I feel like it goes by super fast in some ways

1114
01:03:13,140 --> 01:03:14,058
and then in other ways

1115
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:16,788
it's like you feel like those 12 hours

1116
01:03:16,830 --> 01:03:18,498
that you're on shift isn't gonna end

1117
01:03:18,540 --> 01:03:20,538
'cause you've been cutting so much core

1118
01:03:20,580 --> 01:03:22,578
and it feels pretty exhausting.

1119
01:03:22,620 --> 01:03:25,188
It does feel like a very long time since I've...

1120
01:03:25,230 --> 01:03:26,688
I mean, I know it's only been five weeks,

1121
01:03:26,730 --> 01:03:29,718
but a long time since I've seen my family.

1122
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:31,278
There've definitely moments where I've been like,

1123
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,468
oh, I'm so glad I came back out to sea

1124
01:03:33,510 --> 01:03:34,518
'cause I've been a long time

1125
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:39,438
and it was definitely like,
it's just so exciting to see.

1126
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:40,548
It's neat to be in a group

1127
01:03:40,590 --> 01:03:42,558
where everybody's so excited about the research

1128
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,988
and so excited about the mud

1129
01:03:45,030 --> 01:03:49,540
and the science and just
that it's happening right then

1130
01:03:50,490 --> 01:03:52,143
in any unique place.

1131
01:03:59,988 --> 01:04:02,655
(waves roaring)

1132
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,430
- [Kent] I don't enjoy a storm.

1133
01:04:14,460 --> 01:04:16,278
And one of the things that I think

1134
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:21,273
that I have noticed in the last many years,

1135
01:04:22,380 --> 01:04:24,123
it just seems maybe I'm,

1136
01:04:25,260 --> 01:04:28,848
it seemed like the weather was more regular

1137
01:04:28,890 --> 01:04:30,858
and you get the occasional storm

1138
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:33,288
or you get the occasional
rough, you know, higher winds

1139
01:04:33,330 --> 01:04:36,348
and rougher seas and now it seems like the norm

1140
01:04:36,390 --> 01:04:38,058
is the rougher seas and the higher winds

1141
01:04:38,100 --> 01:04:40,518
and you get the occasional nice day.

1142
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:45,018
I don't know if that's me just
being tired of rough weather

1143
01:04:45,060 --> 01:04:47,838
or I don't, you know, but yeah,

1144
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,528
and it's a absolute major factor

1145
01:04:51,570 --> 01:04:52,920
of life out here, for sure.

1146
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,613
It gets tiring

1147
01:04:57,155 --> 01:04:59,943
if you're in rough weather for, you know, days on end,

1148
01:05:00,810 --> 01:05:02,718
holding onto your desk with one hand

1149
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,488
and trying to type on the computer with the other,

1150
01:05:04,530 --> 01:05:08,028
it doesn't, you know, that sort of thing.

1151
01:05:08,070 --> 01:05:09,468
It's always better to be on the bridge

1152
01:05:09,510 --> 01:05:10,968
when you can see the horizon.

1153
01:05:11,010 --> 01:05:13,638
And, of course, you know, there's always the, you know,

1154
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,308
people are down for the count down below

1155
01:05:16,350 --> 01:05:17,238
and not feeling well.

1156
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:21,678
And I can't say I don't...

1157
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,858
I dare not say we get a kick out of the scientists

1158
01:05:24,900 --> 01:05:27,843
getting seasick, but it's one of those kind of like,

1159
01:05:28,770 --> 01:05:30,408
oh, those poor folks.

1160
01:05:30,450 --> 01:05:33,258
But you know, you just like, this is normal

1161
01:05:33,300 --> 01:05:35,718
and you kind of forget

1162
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:40,760
how it feels to be not feeling so hot in that stuff.

1163
01:05:54,154 --> 01:05:56,904
(waves crashing)

1164
01:06:13,470 --> 01:06:16,218
- [Mariah] Sometimes it's really pleasant to be up here

1165
01:06:16,260 --> 01:06:18,228
and watching the water

1166
01:06:18,270 --> 01:06:21,228
and sometimes if you're not in a good head space,

1167
01:06:21,270 --> 01:06:25,540
it can be really hard to kind of be alone

1168
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:28,473
with all your thoughts.

1169
01:06:34,260 --> 01:06:36,468
I had an old chief mate tell me

1170
01:06:36,510 --> 01:06:40,578
that the best watch officers have a rich inner life.

1171
01:06:40,620 --> 01:06:42,903
And I think that is very accurate.

1172
01:06:48,450 --> 01:06:49,878
- [Chrissy] When it's kind of foggy like this

1173
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,188
and we're in the ice limit,

1174
01:06:52,230 --> 01:06:55,068
we're kind of using, relying on the radars

1175
01:06:55,110 --> 01:06:57,798
and the Waymo's, which is a different type of radar

1176
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,018
to navigate anything like that.

1177
01:07:00,060 --> 01:07:02,118
If there's any small ice,

1178
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,528
we'll try and pick it up with that.

1179
01:07:03,570 --> 01:07:07,038
And then if that doesn't pick it up, Leo the lookout

1180
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,798
will hopefully see it in time for us

1181
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,190
to maneuver out of the way.

1182
01:07:20,100 --> 01:07:22,218
- [Diego] You can be looking at the horizon

1183
01:07:22,260 --> 01:07:23,763
for a long, long time.

1184
01:07:25,350 --> 01:07:30,350
So you have thoughts, you can tell pretty quickly

1185
01:07:30,750 --> 01:07:34,098
if someone is at peace with themselves

1186
01:07:34,140 --> 01:07:37,593
or if there is a lot brewing underneath,

1187
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,340
you know, like you spend eight hours

1188
01:07:43,401 --> 01:07:45,873
with someone on the bridge every day.

1189
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:53,387
There is a lot going on inside every person.

1190
01:07:55,530 --> 01:07:59,328
So sometimes I think when you are really at peace,

1191
01:07:59,370 --> 01:08:01,818
it's because you can, you're just chilling

1192
01:08:01,860 --> 01:08:04,038
and you're just making up stories

1193
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,333
looking into the horizon.

1194
01:08:07,950 --> 01:08:12,753
Or if you have stuff brewing, then you're just getting,

1195
01:08:14,310 --> 01:08:16,338
you know, you can go down a bad,

1196
01:08:16,380 --> 01:08:19,023
there's some people that have gone bad spirals.

1197
01:08:20,430 --> 01:08:21,798
You know, I haven't talked to my wife,

1198
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,478
I haven't talked to my girlfriend in a long time.

1199
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,288
Like, I wonder how they are.

1200
01:08:27,330 --> 01:08:29,230
I wonder what they're doing, you know?

1201
01:08:30,450 --> 01:08:33,300
Some people go into a rabbit
hole looking at the horizon.

1202
01:08:38,310 --> 01:08:40,488
- [Kyle] When I retire, I just wanna be able to,

1203
01:08:40,530 --> 01:08:41,868
I'm not looking to be one of these guys

1204
01:08:41,910 --> 01:08:43,038
driving around in an RV.

1205
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,168
I'm just gonna be glad to be home.

1206
01:08:45,210 --> 01:08:47,058
You know, I've got a nice little house

1207
01:08:47,100 --> 01:08:48,018
and I just wanna be home.

1208
01:08:48,060 --> 01:08:50,568
I got a nice little weld shop
and I can just putter in there

1209
01:08:50,610 --> 01:08:52,098
and make things.

1210
01:08:52,140 --> 01:08:55,518
I'll probably find some kind of job doing something

1211
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,258
and I gotta do something.

1212
01:08:57,300 --> 01:08:58,428
You know, I can't just sit around.

1213
01:08:58,470 --> 01:09:01,548
I'll be dead in two years if you just sit on the couch.

1214
01:09:01,590 --> 01:09:05,658
But I just wanna not be rushed,

1215
01:09:05,700 --> 01:09:07,488
not be a prisoner of the clock,

1216
01:09:07,530 --> 01:09:09,978
not have to be here at a certain time.

1217
01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:12,978
Be nice to not worry about, you know, oh my gosh,

1218
01:09:13,020 --> 01:09:14,298
I gotta be here at this time,

1219
01:09:14,340 --> 01:09:17,208
or I gotta get this done before this date.

1220
01:09:17,250 --> 01:09:19,358
It'd be nice to be past all that

1221
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,273
and move on to the next phase.

1222
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:31,848
- [Rob] I think we will leave an indelible mark

1223
01:09:31,890 --> 01:09:32,748
on the climate,

1224
01:09:32,790 --> 01:09:35,733
but what that will be, I think is yet to be seen.

1225
01:09:36,750 --> 01:09:39,888
The optimist in me thinks that that mark

1226
01:09:39,930 --> 01:09:42,288
can be a little more blurry than, you know,

1227
01:09:42,330 --> 01:09:44,388
what we're projected to be.

1228
01:09:44,430 --> 01:09:46,668
But I think, you know, if we continue

1229
01:09:46,710 --> 01:09:49,428
on some of the same paths, then it would be a very clear,

1230
01:09:49,470 --> 01:09:53,553
rapid transition that's what we'll be known for.

1231
01:09:56,070 --> 01:09:58,428
We're going to see continued melting of ice sheets

1232
01:09:58,470 --> 01:10:01,668
and that's gonna continue
to contribute to sea level rise.

1233
01:10:01,710 --> 01:10:06,348
Those rates of change might seem small over years

1234
01:10:06,390 --> 01:10:09,678
to decades, but you know, once we get out to centuries,

1235
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,878
we're gonna see large impacts
on, you know, coastal cities.

1236
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,298
So the map of the world will be a little bit smaller,

1237
01:10:17,340 --> 01:10:18,978
but most of that we felt at the coastlines

1238
01:10:19,020 --> 01:10:20,448
and that's where most of our population,

1239
01:10:20,490 --> 01:10:21,640
most of our cities are.

1240
01:10:23,310 --> 01:10:26,073
So thinking about, you know,

1241
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,728
what the world will be like in the future,

1242
01:10:28,770 --> 01:10:31,128
certainly it's gonna be, you know, a big change

1243
01:10:31,170 --> 01:10:35,148
to what we see now and how we deal with an ocean

1244
01:10:35,190 --> 01:10:39,018
that's constantly creeping to odds land

1245
01:10:39,060 --> 01:10:40,203
and creeping landward.

1246
01:10:44,910 --> 01:10:47,088
- [Alan] It's inevitable through living,

1247
01:10:47,130 --> 01:10:49,368
through occupying space.

1248
01:10:49,410 --> 01:10:51,348
We have impact.

1249
01:10:51,390 --> 01:10:53,958
Will we be judged in the future

1250
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:59,000
by the damage associated with everything we do?

1251
01:11:01,620 --> 01:11:05,268
Or will we be judged

1252
01:11:05,310 --> 01:11:10,310
for the positive quest for knowledge

1253
01:11:11,940 --> 01:11:13,428
so that we can do better.

1254
01:11:13,470 --> 01:11:15,783
I think maybe, I hope,

1255
01:11:16,950 --> 01:11:20,178
I hope we can forgive ourselves a little bit

1256
01:11:20,220 --> 01:11:24,377
for where we are, but to not give up

1257
01:11:26,490 --> 01:11:27,948
thinking things are hopeless,

1258
01:11:27,990 --> 01:11:30,888
but to continue that exploration drive

1259
01:11:30,930 --> 01:11:32,043
to make things better.

1260
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,478
- [Cara] I mean, this cruise was a huge...

1261
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:45,678
I mean, it took a lot of planning.

1262
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:50,088
The cruise was amazing five weeks,

1263
01:11:50,130 --> 01:11:52,848
but it's not over yet, I guess is what I would say

1264
01:11:52,890 --> 01:11:54,468
is because we've wrapped up the cores

1265
01:11:54,510 --> 01:11:56,778
and they're ready to go back to the lab

1266
01:11:56,820 --> 01:11:59,628
and begin being analyzed.

1267
01:11:59,670 --> 01:12:01,278
I mean, we've done a lot of the basics now,

1268
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:06,018
but there's so many questions
that the group on here has

1269
01:12:06,060 --> 01:12:08,928
and that others on land have about these cores.

1270
01:12:08,970 --> 01:12:12,588
So they're gonna be analyzed
in detail when we get back.

1271
01:12:12,630 --> 01:12:17,208
So it was a huge effort to get out to sea

1272
01:12:17,250 --> 01:12:18,408
and do this for five weeks,

1273
01:12:18,450 --> 01:12:22,143
but the lasting impact will be a lot longer, I think.

1274
01:12:47,220 --> 01:12:49,488
- [Kent] You know, we miss, when we come out here,

1275
01:12:49,530 --> 01:12:52,938
we come out for months at a time

1276
01:12:52,980 --> 01:12:55,218
and miss all kinds of things.

1277
01:12:55,260 --> 01:12:58,893
You know, weddings, funerals,
birthdays, anniversaries.

1278
01:13:01,110 --> 01:13:02,775
So when you know those things are coming up,

1279
01:13:02,817 --> 01:13:07,817
you just kind of like anticipating the next season.

1280
01:13:13,050 --> 01:13:15,798
You have to figure out in your own personal way

1281
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,323
how to handle that feeling of missing out,

1282
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,388
of not actually seeing,
being there to see the details

1283
01:13:23,430 --> 01:13:26,373
of somebody having a super great time,

1284
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:28,848
or even the time, you know,

1285
01:13:28,890 --> 01:13:31,128
the same thing on the other end of the spectrum.

1286
01:13:31,170 --> 01:13:33,438
There not being there to
support somebody who's, you know,

1287
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:35,130
gonna be having a super hard time

1288
01:13:38,610 --> 01:13:40,810
and just kind of hoping they get through it.

1289
01:13:41,730 --> 01:13:44,208
And when you get home, things haven't evolved

1290
01:13:44,250 --> 01:13:45,903
or changed so much that it's,

1291
01:13:46,890 --> 01:13:48,453
you feel like a stranger again.

1292
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,318
You know, entering this world

1293
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:54,060
that was surviving without
you, without your presence.

1294
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:57,528
And there's a part of that that's kind of,

1295
01:13:57,570 --> 01:13:58,533
doesn't feel good.

1296
01:14:01,260 --> 01:14:04,368
So you're in this space with however many crew,

1297
01:14:04,410 --> 01:14:05,298
you know, the rest of the crew

1298
01:14:05,340 --> 01:14:08,240
and the science party and
you think, oh, you're not alone.

1299
01:14:09,090 --> 01:14:12,423
But it's still a very, it can be a very lonely life,

1300
01:14:13,710 --> 01:14:15,318
and it is a lonely life.

1301
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,480
I can tell you that, for sure. Yeah.

1302
01:14:19,457 --> 01:14:22,707
(gentle pensive music)

1303
01:14:55,302 --> 01:14:59,385
(gentle pensive music continues)

1304
01:15:34,652 --> 01:15:38,735
(gentle pensive music continues)

1305
01:16:08,849 --> 01:16:12,932
(gentle pensive music continues)
