8. Everything Antarctica

Play
Apple Spotify Episodes
The 'Everything Antarctica' podcast was made to share stories and information about Antarctica. During the heroic age of exploration, explorers wrote journals or kept diaries of their adventures, but the art of recording one's experiences is slowly disappearing. Two knowledgeable Antarcticans, Matty Jordan and Jonny Harrison, think that talking to people about Antarctica is important. With a combined experience of three Antarctic winters, 13 trips, and over 1200 days 'on ice' there isn't much they can't credibly discuss. We hope you will learn something from every episode and enjoy the show!more Category Exploration, History, Environment
