Listen "188. Antarctica"
Episode Synopsis
Antarctica is one of the most fascinating and mysterious places on Earth. One of Earth’s seven continents, it is easily the least inhabited, and in many ways, the least known about. To many, the preconception is that Antarctica is this cold, frozen, and desolate places, not fit for human living. But what exactly do we know about this remote continent? Is this unique landscape as inhospitable as one might expect, and what can we learn about humankind and the Earth at large from exploring its frontiers? Jean de Pomereu and Daniella McCahey, authors of 'Antarctica: A History in 100 Objects', join the podcast.
