The Most Relaxing Facts About Antarctica to Fall Asleep To

In this calm and sleepy facts episode, we journey to the most remote continent on Earth, Antarctica, a frozen world of extremes where ice miles thick holds the memory of our planet’s atmosphere across hundreds of thousands of years. We explore how this vast wilderness was once a warm land of forests and dinosaurs before drifting south and freezing into the ice world we know today, how emperor penguins endure the darkest winter on Earth to raise their young, and how hidden lakes sealed beneath kilometers of ice may harbor ancient life that has been cut off from the surface for millions of years. From the heroic race to the South Pole to the modern scientists braving months of polar darkness, and from blood red waterfalls pouring out of glaciers to valleys where it has not rained in two million years, this episode will carry you gently through the quietest and most extraordinary place on the planet.
