British Antarctic Territory - wildlife and heritage

- Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
This mini-documentary explores the wildlife of the British Antarctic Territory - a wedge of Antarctica that includes the Antarctic Peninsula. This UK Overseas Territory is home to spectacular landscapes of ice; glaciers, ice bergs and ice sheets. This icy world is a home for leopard seals, many species of whales, penguins and petrels. On land, the flora of the white continent is sparse, and consists mainly of mosses, lichens and a few small flowering plants, but the few rocky outcrops of the Antarctic Peninsula were selected as sites for research bases of several nations. We visit Port Lockroy, a British base established during WWII. We find patriotic penguins trumpeting under the Union Flag, and the Royal Mail's most southerly outlet. Nearby, we find beaches littered with giant whale bones - the legacy of a century of whaling. North of the Antarctic Peninsula, we visit volcanic Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands. This active volcano is covered with a mix of ash and now, and we find a strange mix of penguins and geothermal hot sands. But how will this unique icy wilderness survive in the warmer world of tomorrow?
Please note: although complementary to the BBC FOUR series, the 40 short mini-documentaries are not commissioned or editorially overseen by BBC.

Mother Earth looks very beautiful without artificial human developments!
Britain needs to keep her territory's. We should learn more in school about this in uk, we don't even get told so how can we support and protect!
britain itself is being lost to immigrants
5% of the population is hardly being taken over..
They don't want people to know about this we know those lands don't belong to them!
@@ThelmaThais1 Does that go for the other countries there ?
I wish here in America we could have something that beautiful. I completely agree to an extent. Obviously I’ve never been to a British school or even Britain for that matter so I can’t say if they should teach it more or not because I have no way of knowing. I just wanted to say as an outsider looking in, you really should protect it in whatever way you can.
1:19 I wonder what the name of the music first track was?
Greetings from Turkey
No colonies were and are more beautiful than the British ones
@GIG ECONOMIA Wow. Shows how much research you've done.
@@grimreaper649
Lmao
The french colonies are better : Tahiti, Bora Bora, Wallis & Futuna, Réunion, Martinique, New-Caledonia…
The music is so unnecessarily dramatic, it ruins what would be an interesting video
Polar bears live in the artic not Antarctica
,the territory that wants england, is the one that has ARG and chile, but ARG is the first stay one that was ai and added to that is the continuation of the continent, and the malvinas non-autonomous territory without owner established by the UN, will return to ARG
You better come tooled up .
@@garwhittaker3743 the piece of Antarctica that England claims,is the one that has Chile and ARG, the last is the country with the oldest base in the world in that place for very time, and together with Chile are the countries with the most right to a piece since it is the continuation of the continent, this is already recognized by the world, for something the chosen place to talk about themes of Antarctica is ARG,england wants to use the foreign sea, the islands territory in litigation,non-autonomous territory, to try to keep on rob antartica but they will have to take us out if they want the antarctic and the Chileans too
@@scorpioninpink Acquisitive prescription means you obtain the territory claiming to be 100 years in the place without having conflicts or claims, and since they stepped on the islands there are claims in a row. And Argentina not only protested in 1833, but reiterated it in 1834, 1841, 1842, 1884, 1885, 1908, 1922, 1923, 1927, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1939 and 1940,
@@andres55668l Well it could quite easily take Argentina out and Chile are our friends.
british empire 2.0
A place to send the Hoodlums
I bet polar bears would thrive there.
Polar bears live in the artic not Antarctica
I know. Just thinking of ways to fuck up the ecosystem a la rabbits in Australia.
The climate always changing....1000 years ago in the dark ages it was much warmer than today,People use to grow grapes in England.You can’t do thatbtoday,too cold.In about 1250 or so the temretire droped,cooled down which created famine ,and mass migrations and conflicts of Europe.This cool period lasted until the early 1800’s.We humans,pump 3 percent of all CO2 to the atmosphere.3 percent is us,the rest of the 97 percent of CO2 emission is from the ocean,volcanos,etc.You exhale CO2,Therefore you should be terminated.co2 is a natural gas.We don do the warming,the sun does it,or our orbit around the sun .
We can send a space craft to Mars, but we can’t develop a bot that imitates a literate person.
It’s is changing. But not at the rate it is now
Antarctica isn't British. Just isn't.
It's a research territory administered by the UK. Antarctica isn't directly owned by any nation.
Most of it is actually
A certain section of Antarctica is owned by the UK. It is a full territory, however the UK has signed a treaty not to build, colonise or mine the resources for a certain number of years except for research, along with the other countries who own other sections of Antarctica.
The British Antarctic territory is British! 😑
We know it
