United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has visited Antarctica in an effort to highlight global warming.
Mr Ban - the first UN chief to visit the continent - wanted to see for himself the effects of climate change on the world's largest wilderness.
After flying over melting glaciers, he told reporters that what he had seen had been both "extraordinarily beautiful" and "disturbing".
