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 nesting icefish on the seabed 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.
