There is no question that Antarctica is one of the places that is already taking the brunt of climate change. The Western Peninsula of the frozen continent is warming up faster than just about anywhere else on the planet and as a result the ice is starting to melt and vanish. This video takes us into that fragile environment where were see some utterly spectacular shots of a wilderness that remains largely untouched by man. Well, at least directly. The things we are doing to the planet elsewhere are having a profound effect on Antarctica and soon there may be no turning back. These amazing shots will serve as a reminder of what we just might have to lose.
