0:02:00 > 0:02:02The quarter finals in the women's 500 metres gets

0:02:02 > 0:02:05underway at 10 o'clock.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08And the windy weather in South Korea is continuing to cause

0:02:08 > 0:02:09problems for some sports.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11This was a Russian athlete crashing out in the combined

0:02:11 > 0:02:14alpine skiing event.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19Good news is that he is OK!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Sticking with winter sports and how cool is this -

0:02:22 > 0:02:24children at this school in Worcestershire get

0:02:24 > 0:02:27to spend their lunch hour learning to ski!

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Not many of us get to have that much fun on our break!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Plus they're all fans of the Winter Olympics.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Let's take a look.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I feel quite lucky, because not very many schools actually have a ski

0:02:53 > 0:02:56slope to learn how to ski on.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's really unique to the school, and it's really fun.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Wouldn't have, probably, skied if the school

0:03:01 > 0:03:03hadn't had a ski slope.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07You can come at lunch times and practice.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10One day I'd really like to compete in the Winter Olympics.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12I like the figure skating because it's, like, really beautiful

0:03:12 > 0:03:15and it's like dancing.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I'm looking forward to watching the half pipe.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21I love all the stunts and tricks.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I think Team GB are going to win about 30 medals.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Five golds.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Eight gold medals.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Now, what weighs one trillion tonnes and is a quarter the size of Wales

0:03:33 > 0:03:35and four times bigger than London?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Well, there's a massive clue right behind me...

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Let's find out why scientists are so interested.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45This is the first video of a massive iceberg which broke

0:03:45 > 0:03:48off from the continent of Antarctica last year.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51The British Antarctic Survey has captured the footage of the berg,

0:03:51 > 0:03:55which is called A-68.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00A-68 is one of the biggest icebergs ever recorded,

0:04:00 > 0:04:04but it only made up 10% of the ice shelf it left behind.

0:04:04 > 0:04:10It weighs one trillion tonnes and is around 200 metres thick.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12It measures over 6000 square kilometres, that's four times

0:04:12 > 0:04:18the size of London and a quarter of the size of Wales.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20The video's been released as a team of scientists get ready

0:04:20 > 0:04:23for an urgent mission.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25They are going to spend three weeks investigating life

0:04:25 > 0:04:28underneath the ice shelf.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32What's beneath has been hidden for up to 120,000 years.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36It was only exposed when the giant iceberg drifted away.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's an urgent mission because it might change as sunlight starts

0:04:39 > 0:04:43to alter the surface of the sea.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44They'll collect sea animals, microbes,

0:04:44 > 0:04:47plankton and water samples.

0:04:47 > 0:04:54New species are also likely to be discovered - now that's cool!

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Cheers for watching.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01I'm back at around 8:20am.
