Does anyone know why both CNN and CBS news are sending huge news crews to Antarctica?

I apologize as I'm on the run right now, so can't post sources, but I've seen this referenced in a few different places.

Why are these large "news" organizations sending large news/video crews to Antarctica now?

The possibilities are making my head swim...

Does anyone have any good info?

I think they are doing some climate change documentaries and reports.

Perhaps this is part of it.

I think it might be about this: Giant Crack in Antarctica About to Spawn New York-Size Iceberg

Who knows why they are really there but there has been a bunch of recent articles lately about a big break off of ice in Antartica so it could be that.
"Correspondent Mark Phillips has traveled through Europe and Africa to document how climate change is impacting our world for his “Climate Diaries” series. This morning, traveling aboard the Lindblad Expeditions National Geographic Explorer, he reports from the far-less-traveled continent of Antarctica, where a massive iceberg is poised to break away"

It's probably only the reporters who are far left views that are going. They are trying to cool their jets so they learn not to tell so many misconceptions on the news. We don't have a Siberia here after all. They will be stuck there for a couple of months and maybe they will get their crap together.

They might be setting up the next onslaught of "scientific" climate change reports that are being paid for.

Because it's the only continent left they haven't taken a dump on with their lies?

Antarctica has had record ice growth for how many years now? If you have larger than normal ice sheets, then wouldn't it follow that you could also end up with larger than normal calved icebergs?

I have an idea

Ask John Kerry.

Maybe to see the record sea ice growth that has been reported in recent years?

What does Phillips hope the viewing audience takes away from these special reports? “With any luck, the biggest take away from our reporting here will be to turn the climate change argument, which has gotten very political, back to science. The polar regions are where the evidence of climate change is greatest, and what happens here will eventually affect us all.”

(source cited)

So instead of having the climate change argument framed in the political view CBS is trying to re-frame the argument back into the scientific realm. That and maybe get the money shot if the Larsen C (??) ice shelf splits off.

And now that the Superbowl is over...

On second thought maybe they finally discovered Captain America.

I think that's the CBS "cover story".

Haven't seen a peep from CNN.

Could be all the climate change events that are happening re: ice shelves breaking off, etc.

Could also be something else.

Haven't a fair number of very high-level people recently visited Antarctica?

Why?

I think the story is bigger than climate change. I think the ice melts may have uncovered something extraordinary and which can't be kept secret any longer.

As to what that may be, who knows...

You gotta love ATS...

The hell with politics - this is something we can really get our teeth into!

Extra sky miles?? Or perhaps the view and I'm not talking about the old ladies who seem to think k people care about what they think. And finally I'd say fresh air any of the above works.

CBS Climate Diaries ?

The CBS Newser corresponded with TVNewser from on-board the National Geographic Explorer, which is “a combination adventure-tourism and research vessel that has several scientific teams on board as well as fee-paying customers.”

What has Phillips seen so far? “We’re meeting scientists here who have worked in Antarctica for years and who say they are seeing new weather patterns, which are causing changes in the landscape not seen for 10,000 years.”

He brought up the local wildlife who have had to change their behavior as a result of the changes in climate. “Some species of penguin, for example, which previously lived in warmer areas toward South America, have established themselves further south along the Antarctic coasts,” said Phillips. “That has not only put them in competition with the penguin species that used to dominate the area and forced them further south, it’s confused some of the predators which depend on the penguins, leopard seals and even killer whales.”
