Diving
under the ice, surveying lichen forests and penguin colonies, drilling into the
planet's history or recording the faint hum of the Big Bang: every year,
scientists from around the world head south to the coldest, windiest, driest
and highest place on Earth. There on the frozen continent they tackle
fundamental questions about life and the world around us. Science on Ice
presents their fascinating discoveries.
