The "Everything Antarctica" podcast was made to share stories and information about Antarctica. During the heroic age of exploration, explorers wrote journals or kept diaries of their adventures, but the art of recording one's experiences is slowly disappearing.
Two knowledgeable Antarcticans, Matty Jordan and Jonny Harrison, think that talking to people about Antarctica is important. With a combined experience of three Antarctic winters, 13 trips, and over 1200 days "on ice" there isn't much they can't credibly discuss.
We hope you will learn something from every episode and enjoy the show!

In this week’s episode we do a basic introduction to the different types of ice in Antarctica. Do you know the difference between sea ice, glacial ice, ice shelves, ice caps, and ice sheets? Do you know what a polynya is? Have you heard about the shrek the sheep who got shorn on an iceberg?
We explain all of these in the hope that it helps with future episodes when we talk about these topics. While we are not ice experts or glaciologists, we have put this one together to provide a foundation for some of the discussions we will have in future episodes.
Don't worry if you don't fully understand these concepts immediately; we will revisit them often.
