My name is Alex Noble
and I'm a documentary film maker.
In the summer of 2018
I was asked to join a team of researchers
and production staff
on a journey to the front line
in the war on climate change.
Their  mission? To install a sandstorm
detector in the Gobi Desert.
Along the way,
I learnt what it means to survive
in the harshest conditions
on the face of the planet
and how friendship always finds a way.
I've been to some
pretty unforgiving places
but nothing could prepare me for what was
about to happen.
Ned?
