The reader is invited to join a crew of scientist as they sail
around Antarctica studying one of the most vulnerable environments
on the planet. Discover how scientists work in extreme
environments, and how scientific methods have been adapted to suit
this unique location. Join the team as they use drones and
satellites in space to monitor colonies of penguins, seals and
albatrosses, observe the team's palaeontologist studying fossils
that show Antarctica used to be covered in forests home to
dinosaurs. Search for Shackleton's lost ship using a deep-diving
robot and help glaciologists unlock the secrets of the ice using
ice cores and space lasers and finally experience the south pole
sunrise after six months of darkness.
