This is priceless. The contradictions are amazing.
First, global warming is revealing areas of the Arctic which are rich in gas, oil and minerals, usually not accessible as they are under tonnes of ice.

On ONE - now, undersea pipeline laying
Wow. Just WOW!
A ship laying the gas pipline under the sea from the drilling rig in the ocean. The pipe laying ship is called the Lorelay. The pipe is laid out 2 miles under the ocean, and each day Lorelay lays 3 miles of pipe. The pipe is welded on the ship... It's amazing.
I need to have a shower, but this is way too interesting. I will have to make another cup of tea!
Update: But wait, there's more... more ships in this program...
