  • Geography
    Jan 28 2014

    A quick study of the setting of the series, covering the geology, climate, glaciology and biology of the Antarctic.

    Only two more preliminary episodes and we'll get to the history the series is supposed to be about, I promise.

  • Prelude
    Jan 28 2014

    Imagining, seeking, and then shrinking Terra Australis Incognita to manageable proportions.  Philosophers, geographers, clergy and sailors vie for the final word on what and where Antarctica is, and who lives there.

    Only one more preliminary episode to go and we'll get into some history.

  • Bellingshausen
    Jan 28 2014

    Hard as nails Russian sea-dog braves the southern ocean in inadequate ships and after a rushed preparation and without biologists and...  You get the picture.  Up against it, Bellingshausen shone when the sun refused to do so, and it's not his fault most people haven't heard of him.

  • Pop Culture on Ice
    Jan 28 2014

    The chronology gets thrown out early in the piece, as the case of the empty H4n case unravels and some temporal anomalies are narrowly prevented from becoming time travel paradoxes.  Karl, I need the Delorean back last week.

    The Bellingshausen episode is in the editing suite as I type, and should be available last Sunday.
