or did he turn back just a few
hundred feet before his goal?

Narrator:
Mallory left on his expedition
with a camera in his kit.

If the camera can be located,

it could provide evidence
to settle the question

In this part of

snow builds up
year after year after year.

known pathogens come back,

the same theory could apply
to the ones we don't know about,

including those that
have been long extinct.

Narrator: Scientists set about
trying to resurrect mollivirus

in the laboratory,
knowing full well

how monumental the results
could be to the human race.

Irving:
The virus needs a host cell,

so they gave it
its favorite meal, an amoeba,

a single-celled organism.

They put them both
in the dish, and they waited.

Macferrin:
One of the biggest challenges

of bringing something
like this back to life

is how old it is.
It breaks down over time,

and it might not even
be possible

if the dna
is completely broken down.

Narrator: To everyone's
surprise, the experiment worked.

The mollivirus invaded the
amoeba and replicated itself.

After 30,000 years,
the giant virus was reborn.

Viruses have been known
to survive

in some pretty tough conditions.

But that's a pretty
amazing feat.

narrator:
Scientists are now forced
to consider an ominous idea.

Does this mean
that viruses in the wild

could come back to life
by themselves?

Irving:
The virus that was reawakened
was grown in a laboratory,

an ideal environment.

We can't say it would be able
to do the same in the wild,

but if the environmental
conditions were right,

it's a possibility.

The biomass of all viruses
and bacteria frozen in the ice

is 1,000 times
that of all the humans on earth.

Most of these viruses
and bacteria

aren't going to harm us,
but some could.

What if one of these pathogens
thaws out of the permafrost

and is washed into a river

and then ultimately
down into the ocean?

Narrator: Scientists continue to
keep a watchful eye on the ice,

mindful that the world's
thawing ice

could allow ancient microbial
genes to mix with modern ones...

...Flooding the oceans

with never-before-seen
types of organisms.

How would it interact
with the food chain?

What would be the impact
on the environment

and ultimately on us?

We don't know the answers
to these questions.

Hopefully, we'll never
have to find out.
