Turkish scientists witness effects of climate change in Antarctica

Ice covers almost all of Antarctica. In some places, it's four kilometres thick. But that's changing as temperatures climb, and it could have drastic consequences for the planet as a whole.

There are growing fears among scientists that continued warming could harm the delicate balance of the Antarctic ecosystem.

TRT World's Alican Ayanlar was on the expedition to find out how the region is changing.
