What’s it like to spend months down in the Antarctic? It’s the world’s driest, highest, coldest, windiest and least inhabitable continent and Jomi has spent the last two austral summers (northern hemisphere winters) exploring it. This season, we explore it with him. Part one of this two-part episode sets the scene of the remoteness of the inhospitable Antarctic continent by taking a look at how it was initially explored. While Jomi has been able to do this from the relative comfort of a large modern vessel, the original explorers of the region faced more trying challenges.
