PART ONE - IODP Expedition 318 Wilkes Land Documentary

From January to March 2010, the JOIDES Resolution sailed on IODP Expedition 318 to the Antarctic coastline of Wilkes Land. During this two-month voyage a team of top international scientists explored the history of Antarctic climate changes over the past 53 million years. By drilling for unprecedented sediment cores from the bottom of the Southern Ocean, scientists can begin to understand the process behind the transition from the greenhouse world into the present icehouse world and it's impact on global climate. This 20 minute documentary tells their story; the adventures at sea, the scientific operations and life on board.
